Proposed Casino

With respect to the previous New Westminster OCP Bylaw No. 6920 regarding the proposed casino, Richmond requests that its previous comments be implemented (Attachment 1);

Improved Community Cooperation

As Richmond and New Westminster share a responsibility to manage the lands at the eastern end of Lulu Island (i.e. Hamilton and Queensborough communities), the proposed OCP should be amended to better reflect the need for more inter-municipal co-operation, planning and implementation of land use and community initiatives to ensure that future development better respects each communitys interests and the interests of Richmond and New Westminster;

Improved Parks and Open Space Planning

As the proposed OCP section on parks and open space in the Queensborough community presents several opportunities for Richmond to partner with New Westminster in creating trail linkages between the two communities, the proposed OCP should better reflect the need for inter-municipal pedestrian and cycle trail links;

(4)

Transportation Planning

To strengthen the transportation connections between the Hamilton and Queensborough communities the comments in Attachment 4 should be incorporated into the proposed OCP;

(5)

Flood Management
