Port Moody council wants to develop Petro-Canada/Suncor lands in Glenayre and Imperial Oil lands at the west end of Ioco Road.

The city's map shows hundreds of acres they want for "special study" in the official community plan.

I asked staff what that means and they said council wants to make it easier for the industry to change the zoning and sell the land to developers.

Apparently Suncor has no plan yet. But whatever development plan they come up with, the only access is through Glenayre Drive. Can you see thousands more people driving on Glenayre?

I also heard for years that people didn't want any more development on Ioco Road. Can you see thousands more people living at the end of Ioco Road?

I want to know why the mayor is pushing for these big industries' land to get rezoned for big developments.
