Dear Editor,
I just walked by the regraded parking lot (Rennison estate property) between the ball park and Government Road, and saw the photo in The Undercurrent of Bob Robinson overseeing the grading with a big machine. The free parking provided by Bowen Island Municipality is a good idea as part of the Smaller Ferry Survival program, but why did all the perimeter trees as well as those east of the walkway/small creek have to be removed? No good reason that I can think of, and the shade will be sorely missed during the hot summer months. A few stones throw away, a crew of volunteers just replanted the banks of Davies Creek as part of Metro Parks Eco-blitz on a rainy day in November. The works crew must be charter members of the Flat Earth Society.
Yours truly,
Bill Granger
