Dear Editor,
A lot of high-density development permits in declared transit zones have been either issued — or are about to be issued — in Coquitlam and Port Moody.
The developers are seeking removal of parking requirements due to this transit-zone declaration.
It is ironic the proposal for the foot of Moray Street is seeking relaxation of height restrictions due to it being built on top of a six-storey parking garage.
I couldn’t make that up if I tried.
I propose that in order for a sale of one of these units be completed that the buyer’s ICBC records are checked to ensure no vehicles are registered in their name, and a covenant be placed on the property such that no one in the future that owns a car will be permitted to purchase.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but it appears all of our locally elected NDP MLAs agree with Mr. Eby and his directive that our transit system will take us everywhere we should be going and Krushchevka-like neighbourhoods are all we should be happy to live in.
- Ken Holowanky, Coquitlam
