Preserve views for all of New Westminster

Dear Editor:

In reference to the article in the Record Jan. 21, The view from the top.

Council is considering holding the meeting at the Anvil Centre tower that has a view, to showcase waterfront opportunities of New Westminster's very desirable iconic setting.

I am saddened and disturbed to think of how many more current, longtime residents, like those in the Sapperton Brewery district, will have to sacrifice their sunlight and views in the name of high-density progress.

City planners should revisit building bylaws regarding heights and variances, to preserve the serene river views for all its existing citizens, before the disappearance  is a 'fait accompli'.
