The Editor,
Re. “Big plans across border in Bby.” (The Tri-City News, Feb. 24).
Since the dawn of recorded civilization, nose rings have been used to control large animals. It is obvious that the developers who are looking to densify the area of North Road and Austin have Burnaby city council by the nose.
No one in their right mind would allow 25,000 people to occupy this corner of our world, as reported in your newspaper.
I pointed out in a previous letter to the editor how our own Coquitlam city council sees no problem in densifying their side of North Road but, suddenly, councillors are concerned about the shadows thrown eastward across North Road by numerous Burnaby highrises.
Well, good for them, but I hope they would have remembered the location of our town centre, which was created for highrise development.
Could it just be that the Evergreen Line has brought a large supply of nose rings?
Brian Robinson, Coquitlam
