We endorse the future of this heritage block as a home for locally-based small business and low income renters. We oppose construction of an eight storey tower at this site.
We welcome others of like mind who believe that the community is best served by finding an alternative location for the worthy goal of a new Strathcona/Downtown Eastside library.
We welcome those who wish to fight displacement by civic government and those who believe in upfront and open consultation between the city and all interested neighbours.
We advocate an end to backroom dealmaking and secrecy with respect to this project.
We welcome anyone who is interested in preserving existing rental stock, local small business space and the heritage of Vancouver's first neighbourhood.
Don't let the Heatley Block end up like this:
