Residents need open access to give input into the Burnaby 2050 official community plan, this writer says.
City hall badly underestimated the interest of Burnaby citizens to participate in the Burnaby 2050 official community plan to "share your ideas through open dialogue."
So city hall has capped attendance to 400 people who are able to attend. Clearly many are interested, as can be seen how quickly they were full, in a city of 216,830 people who are 15 years old and over according to the 2021 Census. Sometimes you learn something in one session that you can build on with the next information session. I like to have some time to think about the presentation, maybe talk it over with my spouse. Be able to ask questions at the next dialogue session. I may not understand all the information presented as it may be new to me and I later go home to research.
Parks acquisitions and neighbourhood density planning. Keeping mountain view corridors so that not all the mountain views are blocked by highrises. Nor the setting sun, which is no longer visible when driving west on the Lougheed Highway between Holdom and Willingdon, blocked by skyscrapers. Transportation, security, density within the city.
