Schools, firehalls and ambulance service are all needed for Lougheed Town Centre growth.
On Feb. 18, 2014, and June 18, 2015, I attended open houses at the Cameron Rec Centre, hosted by Burnaby planning, to get public feedback on the redevelopment concepts for Lougheed Mall.
At that time I pointed out that Cameron Elementary School would need expansion to accommodate the new residential population, but no new school or expanded existing school was shown on the concept plans. Why has this issue languished for the past nine years? But the civic infrastructure needed to support the Lougheed Town Centre encompasses much more than a larger elementary school. Burnaby Mountain Secondary School may need expansion, too.
Then, there is no fire hall near Lougheed Town Centre. Does the Brighton Avenue fire hall have suitable apparatus and staffing to respond promptly to fires and other emergencies in 50-storey towers? What development cost charges will be contributed by the developer to pay for these civic facilities?📢 SOUND OFF: Is the City of Burnaby prepared for the growth it's seeing? What needs to be done to accommodate the city's expanding population? Share your ideas. Send us a letter.
