Dear Editor:
Re: “Changes eyed for Garry Point Park, Steveston Harbour,” News Nov. 13.
I’m writing to clarify the city’s plans for a possible pier at Garry Point Park, which has been reported in the Richmond News and commented on by a number of letter writers.
To be clear, nothing has been approved for Garry Point Park. Rather, staff recently presented a proposal to council’s parks, recreation and cultural services committee, which suggested constructing a permanent legacy pier at Garry Point Park in response to a request from committee to investigate options for new legacy amenities.
Staff’s recommendation was not accepted by the committee, instead, committee has asked for an update on the overall Garry Point Park master plan.
Staff will bring back a process for the master plan update in 2016 which will seek community feedback regarding the entire Garry Point Park plan.
