The announcement by the 麻豆社国产Nation that is an indication for reflective thinking by the wider community as well.
By far the largest of the parcels of 麻豆社国产Nation land being considered in the planning are on the North Shore, in key locations close to the two bridges. These lands – including parcels near Lions Gate Bridge and in industrial areas near SuperStore and Lynnwood Marina – have long been acknowledged as having some of the biggest development potential in Metro Vancouver.
We don’t yet know what will be included in future plans, but housing, affordable and otherwise, industrial land development, amenities for Nation members and the wider community are all potentially in the mix.
Following on the Nation’s high-density housing project Sen虛á岣祑, at Kits Point in the City of Vancouver, the prospect of significant development that falls outside of municipal regulatory oversight will likely make some people nervous. It’s worth acknowledging that point, but also worth pointing out the land belongs to the 麻豆社国产Nation, which has promised dialogue with neighbours during the process. More affordable housing and density that could shape future transit options on the North Shore are also benefits that could accrue to the wider community.
What happens on 麻豆社国产Nation land has the potential to profoundly change the whole of the North Shore for many years to come. As such it demands our thoughtful attention.
