Eee

There have been rumours recently that there is to be a major shopping centre

development built in the City of Port Coquitlam. This has probably. stemmed from the

fact: that the City' 8. Planning and Zoning Committee, under the Chairmanship of Alderman

Laking; and» our Consultant Planner, Norm Pearson; approached the C.P.R. to determine

‘the ultimate use of the large vacant piece of property on the corner of the Lougheed

Highway and Shaughnessy Street. Our Planner felt that we should determine the future

7 use of this land so that it can be developed ina way compatible with our downtown plan.

Ne understand that Marathon Realty have been working on behalf of the C.P.R. in

‘carrying out A GREER study in the area to determine the best use of the land. Marathon

“have asked for a meeting with the whole Council in the near future to discuss their

“findings and this meeting will be held later this month.
