Fraser River Bench Lands Development Report Presented

Tuesday, July 25, 2006 04:00 AM

One of the outlines contained in the revised plan for the Fraser River Bench Lands.

Quietly, Prince George City Council has received, as information, the draft plan for the Fraser River Bench Lands Development project.

The project was the subject of a well attended public meeting in March, when area residents turned out to get details of the plan and in some cases express concerns . (see , College Heights Residents Upset with Proposed New Neighbourghood)

The 9 page "excerpt" from the final report states many of the public comments have been included in the revised plan.

Those comments include

extra traffic analysis
additional trails
reduction of density east of Brandon Court
policy development regarding tree retention through the subdivision process.

The information package says that if the revised plan is approved, Fortwood Homes would like to start construction in the southern area of the plan boundary this fall.

If the plan is not crooked, or at least it says we are being sneaky, why does it have to be "QUIETLY" submited.
I think if all was above board they would be very happy to have the publicity....

Interestingly this report was made available at the same time that another neighbourhood group was protesting about industrial land accross the river from their homes.

The Otway area is going to be nothing compared to the BCR site as a neighbour. The report did not address that although it appears that it was mentioned at the public hearing.

Dont forget that the CNR is in the process of moving some or all of its CN Rail Yard operation to the BC Rail side. This of course will intensify the noise in the area, as it will increase the rail car switching etc; On the other hand if Canfor builds a super mill in the Vanderhoof area, then there is a chance that Rustads could close down, and this would reduce the noise level. Who knows:::::
