Gretha asks: would we put a soccer stadium on English Bay? Then why gastown?

My name is Gretha Warren and I work in the office of St. James Anglican Church, (a Heritage Building) corner of Cordova and Gore.  I moved from West Point Grey to be near my office.  And I can walk  to Crab Park with dozens of others who have no access to the waterfront and the beauty of the inlet.  You can sit on the grass, watch the sun set, see the waves lap the shore, peaceful even if the railcars are shunting behind you, or if the ships are blasting, it’s only for a few minutes. You can see the mountains in all their shades of purple.  There is no other park anywhere near where you can do this.  You can find green waterfront parks in  English Bay, Kits, Jericho, Spanish Banks, and no one is threatening to build a stadium there!, they wouldn’t dare!  This gastown area has charm and great potential.  If you put a stadium here you couldn’t promote Gastown’s heritage charm anymore and you will have gridlock with cars.  Please, surely there is a wide open space somewhere in Delta with a possible freeway to handle the traffic. People (that I know, from San Francisco and San Diego) are amazed at what we have.  Give consideration to this area of Vancouver.
