We previously posted (June 4th) an article from the North Shore News about the density push in the Moodyville area:

This was our comment on the story:
Comment from Voices:
We urge City residents to attend the Public Meeting in Council Chambers on June 18th in order discuss the draft OCP.
.
We have since been contacted by several residents in the area, some of whom have started a petition:
* We the undersigned residents of the Moodyville Area, and the bordering properties, oppose the mass-rezoning of the Moodyville Area to a 1.6 FSR.
* We the undersigned strongly oppose all density in excess of the initial staff recommendation of 1.0 FSR for the Moodyville Area.
We will provide contact details if you want to have further information or sign the petition.
.
Comment from Voices:
We believe that now is the time for all interested residents of the Third Street Special Study Area to weigh in if they care about the outcome. It is much easier to argue when there is verifiable evidence to reference. Hearing directly from all those who have a stake in this discussion is critical to a balanced decision.
.
The public meeting in Council Chambers on June 18 is at 6.00pm. This is your opportunity to hear about the suggested revisions to the draft Official Community Plan, ask questions, and state your opinion. The next opportunity will likely be at the Public Hearing in September.
For anyone unable to attend the meeting, submissions can be made in writing prior to 4pm on the 18th, details here:
