Letter: Jang's call for calm challenged

Re: “Councillor calls for calm over Marpole Plan,” Letters, Sept. 4.

Let’s scrutinize just one item from Coun. Kerry Jang’s attempts to reassure Marpole. “The plan will not … put towers beside single-family homes.”
Back test that claim against the 2010 Norquay Plan, where Jang acted as one of two Vision Council contacts with the local community.
The Canadian Tire site at 2220 Kingsway has just been rezoned for three 14-storey towers on podium (a form and placement never intended by the plan).
What lies right across the Gladstone side street? Still unrezoned single-family homes, outside the “plan” area.
