The petition


The City of Vancouver considers that newspaper adverts like this were sufficient notification of the City Council public hearing on 12 Dec 2007 for the proposed 1050 Expo Boulevard development.


Vancouver Sun, 1 Dec 2007, page B6


- No mention of 1050 Expo Boulevard

- No description of the number of units or the intended composition of residents in the proposed development

- Details can be found only by following links to the City's website

- Information mailing to nearby Yaletown residents undertaken only in June 2008, six months after the City Council's decision

The City claims there will be "public discussion through the development permit approval process", but states that at the public meeting on 25 Aug 2008, the Development Permit Board "are not debating the use of the building, as it has already been decided by City Council." *

WE DON'T.

We consider the notification process undertaken by the City of Vancouver for the public hearing on the proposed 1050 Expo Boulevard development to be insufficient. We request a public meeting of the City Council, with reasonable and sufficient notification to nearby Yaletown residents, at which all aspects of the proposal will be open for discussion.

Dear Residents of Yaletown/False Creek North,

The City of Vancouver has approved in principle to build in our neighbourhood a 133 unit housing complex for the homeless and for people having mental illness, drug/alcohol addiction. The site is located at 1050 Expo Blvd and is north of 1033 & 1067 Marinaside. You can still voice your opinion to the city on this matter even though the official deadline has passed - the actual hearing for this development is on August 25th.

We strongly encourage you to attend this meeting to voice your opposition to this proposal. The Development Permit Board meeting will be held at:

TIME: 3:00pm
DATE: Monday, August 25th, 2008
LOCATION: Committee Room No.1, 3rd Floor City Hall (Main Building)
