Dear Editor:
As a long time resident of Lynn Valley I went along to see the open house on the development of Lynn Valley's centre.
The developers and council propose four options - all of which include 4,9005,300 people.
I suggest another option - how about none of the above?
Five thousand people in Lynn Valley Centre, really? One can only imagine the traffic congestion! It's busy enough already on the two main arteries, and we currently have plenty of single family homes being redeveloped into townhomes/apartments and densifying the neighbourhood. I suggest a more modest proposal, redevelop the mall, put in several midsize towers, say five-six storeys max, enough to house 1,000-1,500 people. Anything else will destroy the character of our neighbourhood. Does anybody in this company (Bosa) or any of the district planners even live in Lynn Valley?
How about we have a referendum on this proposal for everybody living north of the highway and west to Williams Road? Let the people of Lynn Valley decide.
