THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

Preservation of natural surroundings is essential to
quality of life in Port Coquitlam.

Too much natural beauty has already been destroyed —
Spare what ig left.

Have standards and guidelines in place for
tree-cu_ting and retention on private property (e.g.
permit. and notificztion system).

Clean-up Coquitlam River and re—atock with figh.

Need more green space in neighbourhoods.

Have reasoneble consideration of develcpment in
natural areas —- do not stop progress.

Doe not permit clear-cutting for subdivisions.

Developers should be required tc address all
environmental concerns prior to project commencement.

Concern for environment can be overdone — do not
impose more red tape on developers whose impacts are
minimal.

Involve Ministry of Healta, where possible, to ensure
that there are no hazards to public health where
contaminated sitea are concerned.

Protect natural waterways.

Discourage habitat that breeds coyotea.

Development near dyke is detrimental to wildlife
habitat.

Do not regulate environmental protection on private
lands — government should concern itself with the
environmental standards of public lands.
