Opinion was largely split at a public hearing at Burnaby City Hall over a proposed redevelopment of Brentwood Town Centre Tuesday evening.
Developers propose building a revamped shopping centre and condos, the largest of which would be a 70-storey tower.
The tens of thousands of new residents the development would bring is leaving some locals wondering whether the city has enough schools and hospitals.
“I ask the question — does the area — does the infrastructure — is it up to it? or should we put the infrastructure in place before this development, and any other major developments are allowed to proceed,” pondered one resident.
Others spoke in favour of the project, saying it would create a community centre which they say doesn’t currently exist in the area.
