Correspondence from J. Coenraads Re: 2401 Burnside Road W. - handyDART Site

British Columbia Legislature Victoria, BC

2020 JAN 14

Attention: Minister Claire Trevena

Dear Hon. Claire Trevena

We would like to add our voices to that of our neighbours in objecting to the proposed location of the HandyDART facility in View Royal.

There is no need to reiterate the many valid points made by others, but we do ask that you do one thing before proceeding with this ill-conceived plan.

Please visit the site, walk around and notice the proximity to Eagle View Elementary School and the restored Craigflower Creek, now an important salmon stream. If you do this, we believe that you too will come away realizing that the development of this site is pure folly.

Sincerely

John Coenraads 2165 Highland Road Victoria, BC V9B 6H8
