Editor:
When we drive home to Tsawwassen from the city an impressive landscape dominated by tall trees comes into view. Very refreshing to leave the dozens of high-rise towers in Vancouver and Burnaby behind!
The Century Group currently has a development application for a six-storey mixed use building at Tsawwassen Town Centre. However, Century's longterm "vision" for TTC includes a 12-to 20-storey residential tower (as reported in Oct. 5, Delta Optimist). I am fine with controlled densification in the TTC area achieved responsibly through four to six-storey buildings and townhouses. A 12-storey or higher building, however, is completely out of character for Tsawwassen and would be a disturbing change to the quality of our community.
We do not need highrises that dominate the landscape.
Any building over six storeys is considered a high-rise. Please, as we treasure our beautiful community, let there be firm controls by Delta council on renewal and densification and no high rises in Tsawwassen!
