Meeting Overview

The View Royal Council meeting on September 17, 2019, focused significantly on the Provincial government's decision to override local authority to site a BC Transit handyDART facility at 2401 Burnside Road West. Residents and Council expressed strong opposition citing environmental risks to Craigflower Creek and a lack of community consultation. Additionally, the rezoning application for 'Eagle's Nest' at 1449 Burnside Road West was withdrawn by the developer. Other business included the approval of a Development Variance Permit for 29 Brigadoon Place with specific noise-mitigation conditions and the advancement of the draft Streets Bylaw.
