EcoDensity – Public Consultation and Media

There’ll be more consultation on the City’s EcoDensity project, following a presentation to City Council last week.

From the subsequent press-release that was sent out on November 30:

“On November 27, 2007, Council received a progress report on EcoDensity and what we’ve heard to date. They referred a new version of the draft EcoDensity Charter, along with a set of draft Initial Actions, for further public consultation. Council also asked staff to consult on five additional Action items.

The Council report, draft Charter and draft Initial Actions are available on the EcoDensity website: www.vancouver.ca/ecodensity

Or you can go directly to the report here.

Opportunities to provide feedback on these drafts will include:

• Public workshops in January and February 2008 (details forthcoming)
• City staff will attend your group’s meeting in January or February – contact us to arrange
• Workbook and feedback sheet, to be available on the website soon
• A Special Council Meeting on February 26, 2008.”

There was also an interesting article by Allen Garr in the Vancouver Courier that’s worth taking a look at:

Says Garr: “The most interesting thing about the EcoDensity package that went before council Tuesday is not the report…”
