At this address, apparently some new townhouses or condos are being built. That's great except for a few things. First, to get into these places, the owners will have to access off Como Lake. For those who take Como Lake during rush hour, we can clearly see that the chances of getting out of these places and onto Como Lake are going to be slim during peak time. They will have to really rely on the kindness of strangers (who will have me honking them like crazy).
But second, the construction people are merrily just working right out into Como Lake and blocking a lane during rush hour - not even worrying about how they are affecting traffic. Whomever thought that up - well let's just say it wasn't. Thought.
I did get some feedback from the BCA - the local Community Association. It seems that they have been shunted around and ignored on this development. It seems when the developer was asking for public input, they meant only from people who agreed with them.
It seems to me if you want to have a development supported by the community, estranging them is not the way to do it. Boo to this poorly designed and poorly executed project.
Burquitlam is a community in Coquitlam, BC, which is a suburb in the metro Vancouver area. Burquitlam is slated to be one of the new stations on the Evergreen Line which will undoubtedly impact the community. Burquitlam is boundaried by North Road on the West, Chapman Ave on the North, Blue Mountain on the East and Hwy 1 on the South. The image is an artist rendering of the proposed station and will be replaced with the real one when that happens.
