This Port Moody letter writer says a Burnaby trail plan 'ignores the evidence of open urination and defecation.'
The City of Burnaby's population is forecast to grow by 45 per cent over the next 25 years. Yet the recently released draft Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area Trail Management Plan makes no accommodation for this growth by adding new trails to the current 24.5 km of trails.But the plan ignores the evidence of open urination and defecation that points to the need for additions to the two existing public toilets.
Amazingly the trail management plan completely ignores the many kilometres of unofficial mountain biking trails.Finally, the Parks Department needs to carry out more and broader community engagement.Further consultation should be organized at the Cameron Recreation Centre or the Stoney Creek Environmental Centre in Burnaby.- Derek Wilson, Port Moody
