Dear Mr. Gates:

On behalf of the Study Team I wish to submit this study detailing a revitalization
framework for Port Coquitlam's Downtown core.

The study sets out a framework for revitalization directed towards resolving the
issues and problems facing the Downtown core. This framework has been
formulated after careful analysis and extensive discussions with Downtown
merchants. It approaches revitalization as an ongoing rather than one shot
activity and, focusing on taking advantage of and developing opportunities,
provides the necessary direction to get things moving.

We wish to acknowledge the interest and co-operation of the Downtown
Revitalization Committee, Downtown merchants and City Council and staff in
preparing this study. Our special thanks to Alderman Mike Gates, George Specht,
Wilf Renner, Bert Radigruber, Bert Prueffer, City Planner Bill Brown and City
Clerk Ron Freeman. Their input and assistance has been invaluable.

With this study in place we have conciuded the first part of the Study Team's
responsibilities with regard to Port Coquitiam's Revitalization program.

The team and myself are standing by to continue discussions and to clarify any
points arising from this Study.

Yours sincerely,

WILLIS, CUNLIFFE, TAIT/DeLCan
