2011 Brings More Work On Plan SJ

Most of this year will be spent putting together a new municipal plan for the city to guide future development. The late Eric Teed argued for higher density residential development in the uptown and now thnat appears to be the new direction. David Thompson of the Friends of Rockwood Park hopes the plan, when it's presented to Common Council late this year, does not ignore what has come to be known as the greening of the city.

He says they have talked a lot of development but, he believes there should be a focus on conservation and community.
Thompson is concerned most of the emphasis seems to be on development.
