An Inquiring Metro Wants to Know …
May 4, 2009
From our friends at Metro:
What will our region look like when the population increases by 50% to 3.4 million residents? And what decisions do we need to make now in order to support the sustainability of the Metro Vancouver Region through the year 2040?
Metro Vancouver’s draft regional growth strategy Metro Vancouver 2040 proposes actions and strategies to accommodate this growth while continuing to advance the region’s livability and sustainability. A series of public consultations are being held around the region to hear from citizens. Please join the discussion and have your say! Please arrive 30 minutes early to ensure you get a seat.
Background information is available here.

While Metro Vancouver is looking for the public’s input in how best to shape this city’s future, which I think is absolutely necessary, TransLink too is undergoing a similar process of public consultations. They’ve set-up a website, http://www.bepartoftheplan.ca where you can voice your opinion on a number of topics that will form TransLink’s 2040 Vision and they will also be holding a series of public consultations, beginning June 1st.
