The document summarizes the timeline of events leading up to a town hall meeting about rezoning in Vancouver's West End neighborhood. It outlines key dates where concerns were raised about lack of public input and rapid approval of rezoning applications. These include a 2008 meeting where rental housing policies were discussed, the 2009 election of a new mayor and council, and quick approval of rezoning proposals in 2009 and 2010 without public consultation. The town hall was organized by concerned citizens to discuss how land use decisions are being made and their effects on the community.
Citizen-led group dedicated to developing a new vision for Burlington’s waterfront – a response to the current plan proposed by City Council – a plan that threatens to demolish local heritage and replace it with tall highrise buildings – a plan focused on narrow development interests with little thought given to both the history and future of arguably the city’s greatest asset – its waterfront.
We must act NOW to reverse this plan and come up with a better one .

Presentation of citizen Alan to Vancouver City Council in Public Hearing on rezoning of 1215 Bidwell Street (Maxine's Hideaway) in the West End to build a 20-storey tower.
This presentation was originally done for the MA Housing and Community Development Agency in Boston for a July, 2008 meeting. I apologize that it may not stand alone without a verbal accompaniment, but it will give you an idea of what we face in Norwell and the South Shore and why we must Repeal 40B. Vote YES on Question #2 on the fall 2010 ballot.
