If you don’t have lots of free time or insomnia, reading the entire 211 page draft EIS for the Northgate rezone proposal may be daunting. However, a rezone would have many impacts to those of us who live in the Northgate area and I strongly encourage you to read what you can to educate yourself about what is being proposed.
Below are a few links from a range of sources. I will also update the blog as more resources become available – and promise not to send much more e-mail on this topic unless it is significant. However, the blog will still be updated.
If you can only read one item, go to the Powerpoint presentation at #1. It is an easy to read summary and it includes clear maps.
