The final report on the Fraser Bench Neighbourhood plan will be detailed to Prince George City Council this evening. 

The plan was  received as "information" at the last Council session, now  the writers of the 146 page document will make a power point presentation to Council outlining the revisions to the original plan.

The new plan calls for increased trails,  and is sensitive to air and noise polution concerns that could stem from developing across the river from the BCR industrial site.

Also on the agenda for this evening's Council meeting: 

Development permits for  construction of more retail  buildings at Westgate.  The projects would  add  about 39,000 square feet of retail space to  the Westgate complex.

Council will also get an update on the development of the Hertiage Strategic Plan. The Heritage Committee's initial report was presented to  Council in March of this year.  The report was referred to Administration for more detailed information on timelines for the Action Plan and estimated costs.

When they talk about the plan I wonder if they will remember what is taking place on the North Nachako and the asphalt plants across the river. I guess its "buyer beware" will be the attitude of our council members.
This neighborhood seems about as stupid an idea to me as the idea of building three pulp mills across the river from the downtown. It a generational issue and another noose for PG to hang itself on.

IMO Cranbrook Hill Crest would add the most value to the residential environment of this city, but that land is probably not owned by this developer. This developer is motivated by maximizing their short term profit and not the long term needs of the commuity.

City council has a responsibility to the residents of this city. I am not confident they will come through.
Hold it right there, Chad.
If you owned that property I guarantee you would be out hell bent to maximize a profit, and it wouldn't take a split second for you to be motivated.
It is not the Councils business to dictate whether this development should be approved. If the people want to buy across from the Industrial site-it is their choice, not yours, or city councils decision to make.
Yes, it would make a difference if the Industrial site were to be established at a later date, but that is not the case-so none of councils business. If it is property suitable to be utilized for the proposal presented-then council does not have the right to attempt to "baby sit" and protect potential purchasers of home sites.
You obviously feel you are capable of running this city and your opinions and ideas should take a top priority position.
You seem to be overly concerned as to what property should be developed, and for what cause, and I really do not think you own any of it-or do you?
There are times one must sit back and "mind one's own business."
Now is one of them.
