No Megatowers in Grandview!

.

This will be the decisive year for the future of Commercial & Broadway, and the development that will take place on the Safeway site. This year will see important public hearings on the project and potentially a decision.

As a great New Year resolution, go to the No Megatowers petition and sign it to show your support for local residents having a say in how such an important site will be developed.

There is plenty of information at the No Megatowers at Safeway website, and you could follow the history of the development here.

Speaking My Mind To The Georgia Strait

.

One of our finest local reporters, Carlito Pablo, called me the other day for a new year’s catch up and to ask who I was supporting for mayor in the next election. I told him I was supporting Colleen Hardwick and TEAM because “She’s got the right ideas for city governance” including a bottom-up approach to neighbourhood consultation. She “understands that elected officials and the staff [of city hall] have to listen to the residents of Vancouver”.

The full interview can be found here.

The highlights of TEAM’s policies for the next election can be found at voteteam.ca.
