Small items to note

Ok Tire is completely gone.  In a recent meeting Translink says they are putting the skytrain post right at the corner, so it is still a mystery as to what will go in the rest of the lot.  Hopefully it will not become a parking lot.

The Beedie Group has approached the City of Coquitlam to ask for some of the density the Y didn't use when it built the place on Como Lake.

The City of Coquitlam is expecting density in this area to exceed 250,000, yet seems to have no plans for support services.  Presumably some of those people will have children.  Where will they all go to school?  And since the City is giving up Burquitlam Park, are the children to play in the street?  There is an expansion proposed for Cottonwood Park but who knows when that will go in.

It is important that if you have an opinion on these, contact your mayor and council.  If you want a say in Burquitlam Station, not only should you email the mayor, but also the Ministry of Transportation.  Of note, if you see a lot of workers parked too close to the site, if you see parking infractions or traffic concerns, please let the Ministry know.  It's the only way they can stay on top of it.

  2. Source - BCA meeting. It has been talked about for some time now that *part* of the park will be going. This is in exchange for an expansion at another park - or so the City says.
