As a regular user of the Millennium Trail along River Road in Ladner, I was most distressed to see the "Proposal of Development" sign erected on the trail section opposite Deas Island.
In my opinion, and that of fellow joggers, walkers, cyclists and rowers, development in this area would be a huge mistake. The riverbank is an ecologically sensitive area, the present tranquility of which would be destroyed by the addition of an access road along with the resultant traffic.
This is yet another example of Delta's shrinking agricultural and recreational land being encroached on by developers chasing the almighty dollar.
