Nanaimo News Bulletin, April 7, 2007 To the Editor, Re: Community plan review process questioned, March 29. This approaches the bizarre. The Plan Nanaimo Advisory Committee, while the Official Community Plan 10-year review is ongoing and while economic and environmental impact reports are not yet complete, has gone on record as opposing Plan Nanaimo tenets such as downtown densification – no condo towers on Stewart Avenue and no destination golf resort at Cable Bay. It has, however, embraced enthusiastically a Woodgrove, urban sprawl-style, automobile-dependent development outside the Urban Containment Boundary south of the current city limits. If this committee is a friend to Plan Nanaimo, imagine what its enemies must be cooking up. Frank Murphy , Nanaimo
