Attachment Opposed to CP rail expansion

  • CP Logistics Park Vancouver and Pitt Meadows Road and Rail Improvements Projects
  • Author: Administrator on behalf of Tod and Robyn Chisholm
  • Reference number: 6
  • Submitted: 2021-08-15
  • Hello,   As I am sure you are aware the community of Pitt Meadows and most of its residents strongly oppose the large expansion of CP logistics rail yard in Pitt Meadows, BC. This is a suburban community at the merger of two major waterways. To have fuel storage, a large increase to rail traffic, and the associated noise and pollution is reckless and very dangerous. Having it in a popular and populated community makes no absolutely sense. We have been residents of Pitt Meadows for 15 years and are by no means anti development. However irresponsible expansion of this rail yard will have serious negative impacts in this community. CP has tried to fast track this by giving little notice of its intentions and has received overwhelmingly negative feedback about the project. We acknowledge the need for transport options from the west coast but there are other options in more industrial and less populated areas. The city council opposes this project and the residents oppose this project. So why would it ever be allowed to go ahead?   I wont bother going through the long list of reasons this is a bad idea and merely reference you to the position of city council which we support completely. Do the right thing and tell CP no for a change and prove you will listen to the community.   Regards,   Tod and Robyn Chisholm

Furthermore, the City wishes to express that other written feedback received from CP thus far has not provided the City reassurance that our previously expressed concerns have been heard by CP, or that CP has an intention to adequately address these concerns in a meaningful fashion. This includes the concerns outlined in the City’s February 16, 2021 and June 18, 2021 letters to CP. A brief and non-exhaustive list of select items within the TOR that the City has identified as areas of concern are below, with further detail of each found within Appendix A:  The area of the existing Vancouver Intermodal Facility (“VIF”), VIF expansion projects (including the proposed Logistics Park), and the cumulative impacts caused by both;  CP’s assessment that the VIF expansion projects do not require assessment under the Impact Assessment Act;  Key permits, ...
