Joel Gibbs, 7777 12th

rezoning application. The speaker believes that there is disconnect within the
City between the City’s priorities and the development process. Burnaby declared
a climate emergency and set targets of 45% reduction in GHG by 2030; however,
2,800 parking spaces are being built in a town centre, near transit and
multi-use paths. In addition, Mr. Gibbs expressed concerns with Dawson Street

rental units does not really benefit the City. The speaker is also in
opposition to the sale of public lands.

to the development as families with children have a hard time finding suitable accommodation

instead of selling it, and offering electrified parking sports to car share
companies to utilize the EV spaces.
