Letter: Heights plan ignores residents By Rick Gales, Vancouver
Share:
After more than two years of public engagement, the Vancouver City Council adopted the Heights District Plan in one of the more established neighborhoods in the city. The community outreach and planning process resulted in a “community vision for how the Heights District will develop over the next 20 years.”
The city has invested countless hours (and tax dollars) in the engagement process. Neighbors have learned the tactics and language of the planners, forming coalitions to amplify being heard. If we have learned anything from the process, it’s that developer needs are the priority.
