Dear Editor
An open letter to Mayor Derek Corrigan and Burnaby city council;
Re: Rezoning at Imperial and Dunblane
As a citizen and resident of Burnaby, I object vehemently to the latest rezoning proposal, which will result in the demolition of four lowrise rental apartment buildings and the prompt eviction of the tenants of their 84 units.
Burnaby cannot continue to ignore the plight of the victims of these demovictions and continue to cater to developers at the expense of its most vulnerable residents.
It is your duty to deny this rezoning application without any concrete provision for re-housing all the victims of demoviction, and place a moratorium on redevelopment applications until such a time as the current housing crisis is resolved.
Thomas Hasek, Burnaby
