Janet Marx, 503-4350 Beresford Street, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning application. The speaker expressed safety concerns for the drivers travelling along Willingdon and Beresford due to the location of the sign.  Ms. Marx believes that the light from the skysigns will have negative effect on the residents living across the street from the development, and suggested CUPE contribute to the community by other means. The speaker submitted correspondence to Council as part of her presentation.

 

John Wachowich, 604-4350 Beresford Street, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning application. The speaker expressed concerns regarding the light from the skysigns and noted possible negative effects on the residents living across the street from the development. Mr. Wachowich is concerned with overall development in the Metrotown area as new buildings with commercial podium are next to the older buildings that are all residential from the ground floor up, and the impacts the commercial podiums will have on the existing residents. The speaker believes that a contribution to the park in the community would be preferred.
