Canada V6C 3T4 May 11, 2012 Dear Resident: Re: 2901 Commissioner Street, Vancouver BC This letter is to provide important information about proposed changes to Port land along Commissioner Street near McGill Street. Port Metro Vancouver is considering developing the site at 2901 Commissioner Street to provide temporary truck parking in the event of traffic congestion. The existing site would be graded and paved to provide space for up to 50 trucks in the event of an incident or traffic back up along the Port’s internal road system. For more details about this proposed development, please see the attached information sheet. Port Metro Vancouver is committed to developing 2901 Commissioner Street in accordance with the East Vancouver Port Lands Plan, including ensuring local area residents are informed about project plans and have their questions and concerns responded to in a timely manner. It is anticipated that use of this site would be primarily during daytime hours, Monday through Friday. This potential development is consistent with the Port’s objectives for the south shore to reduce congestion in and near south shore facilities. Pending permit approval, it is anticipated that construction on this site could commence in July 2012. If you have any questions or comments about this development, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone at 604.340.9645 or email at [email protected] . Yours truly, PORT METRO VANCOUVER Cindy McCarthy Communications Advisor, Project Development
