Dear Editor:

Re: Ambleside Waterfront Plan Unveiled, Nov. 1 news story

On the same evening (Oct. 28) West Vancouver council spoke about the launch of a consultation process with regards to a future vision/plan for Ambleside, council also reviewed the recommendations for a future vision of more than 6,000 acres of land in the “upper lands” of West Vancouver.

This vision has been recommended to council by the Upper Lands Working Group, following over two and a half years of consultation with stakeholders and the public. Council has asked that these recommendations form the “framework” for future planning of these lands, including the planning for a future Cypress Village, as well as conservation and possible recreation use on much of the remaining lands.

An informed and involved public, participant in how our community evolves in the lands above our community, is as important as it is for development in the lands below. I urge your readers to go to the West Vancouver District’s website and have a look at the working group’s report and recommendations. Future generations need everyone’s involvement now!

Co-chair, Upper Lands Working Group
