'Who is serving who here?' asks a letter writer.
Like many who have written to the Burnaby Now, I too have questions about the proposed GROW facility and the adjacent district energy facility .
It is confusing to present the proposal as an important step in reducing GHGs when the proposal is to scrub the gas from the green waste recycling facility in order to create enough gas to heat 5,000 homes. It is also confusing to talk about reduced emissions from diesel trucks having to transport green waste from Burnaby to Delta while Burnaby is proposing that other municipalities should truck their green waste here.
In January 2022, Burnaby City Council voted behind closed doors to approve “in principle” a gondola to SFU that would run through a “protected habitat block” of the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area, a conservation area dedicated as such by the citizens of Burnaby in a referendum in 1996. By way of further protection, the Province holds a covenant over the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area lands that prohibits such a structure being built.
