Meeting 27 was the first meeting to follow the OPEN HOUSES of January 2012. The North of 33rd Avenue citizens' group had not attended any previous Advisory Committee Meetings and were in a state of understandable shock when they saw the models for the first time. They were so upset that they called their own press conference. They brought a considerable amount of drama to the meeting, much of which was warranted -- some of which was simply due to the fact that they had not participated in the process. Nevertheless, in subsequent meetings they have and proven themselves to be a real asset.
So, WELCOME to the Advisory Group, North of 33rd residents!!!
And a note of caution to communities in Vancouver: Attend your public meetings or else...
The statistics presented in Meeting #27 are important, and warrant close analysis. Meeting #28 will take a closer look with respect to postal codes, and correlations are made between distance from the site and opinions expressed.
