Brace for the 'uglyfication' of Burnaby

Dear Editor: Re: Skyscraper stirs debate, Burnbay NOW, Feb. 28. I totally agree with Barry and Gloria MacDonald, whose concern is the increased traffic and population in and around Brentwood with its planned massive expansion.

I totally agree with Barry and Gloria MacDonald, whose concern is the increased traffic and population in and around Brentwood with its planned massive expansion. We moved into the area for its almost rural-type and serene living - no longer.

Since this ridiculous expansion is a fait accompli, seems to me that no prior arrangements have been made for schools, hospitals, police and roads to handle the accumulation of new people not only in Brentwood but also the surrounding areas, including the now-being-built Solo structures; bear in mind also that same type of development is planned for the Lougheed Town Centre area. The mayor is talking about bike paths and "maybe" a park and community centre.

Call it "the uglyfication" of Burnaby.
