A private developer is trying to gain control of the public lands of Vancouver’s Central Waterfront. The developer is proposing the construction of a massive entertainment complex within meters of Crab Park. The entertainment complex will consume most of the Central Waterfront.
If the public land is surrendered for this project Vancouverites will lose an essential part of our waterfront. The massive stadium will permanently overshadow Crab Park. This scale of construction will destroy the park and will forever rob future generations of the land that they own.
As the home to the memorial for Vancouver’s missing women Crab Park has a role in remembering, honouring, healing and inspiring change. A stadium will shadow the park and the noise will forever destroy its solitude.
Shame on the supporters of the stadium to refer to a private stadium, owned and controlled by one individual, as a "Community Stadium" - "1984" inspired use of words at its best ( or worst). To take away public land in order for a private company to make more money is shameful, but to suggest it is a community stadium is outright fraud!
