Loss of parkland, increased traffic among reasons to question GROW project, readers say.
To further the debate about council’s decision to locate the proposed GROW facility on more than 20 acres of existing parkland, I have the following comments and questions:The City insists that this large piece of parkland is the only site suitable for the plant. If built, the GROW plant will process green waste from many surrounding cities and municipalities. There isn’t just a Burnaby need to effectively deal with its green waste, there’s a Regional one.
Was this report, or relevant extracts, provided to council to highlight the ecological benefit of these lands prior to the vote to remove them from the park? The report to council says that part of the project will involve “replacing low-quality fish habitat in drainage ditches with a new salmon-supporting tidal marsh and salmon-supporting tidal creeks.”
Notwithstanding the virtual impossibility of catching particular birds, where would the city expect to find unoccupied habitat? Let’s find a suitable location for this valuable GROW facility and not undermine its value by making the wrong choice about its location.My family has lived in Burnaby for three generations, experiencing change for better and worse.
School groups don’t want to see compost ferment. Take them to the existing Foreshore Park to engage in nature.
