Re: "Park board pushes seawall extension," July 11.

I find it incredulous that both Vision and the NPA are "taking credit" for this noncreditable idea. I'm hoping you get a flood of tweets and emails about this stupid idea. One of the wonderful aspects of living in Vancouver are the pockets of relatively unspoiled nature that the public can enjoy if they want to. So now the two parties at city hall want to ruin the quality of life that many of us enjoy by marketing (and therefore ruining) the very thing that makes Vancouver special. The beach beyond Kits all the way to Spanish Banks is a joy to use for the very fact that there isn't any formal seawall or path way that the hordes can use... and therefore makes it a gem in Vancouver. When my family and I are down there for our walks and mooching around, it is almost like being on a Gulf Island but with a city view. No crowds, no frenzy, just a wonderful peaceful retreat within the city. It's a luxury within Vancou-

Who is this crazy person donating millions to get this in place? There must be a hidden motive behind that donation. Mark my words, I will lay myself down in front of the bulldozers if this ludicrous idea becomes reality.
