Re: "Seawall stall," July 25.

I urge Mayor Robertson to do an onsite walkabout with Mel Lehan, Kitsilano activist, and Terry Slack, Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­natural foreshores environmentalist. This marine environment is the last piece of natural pristine waterfront in Vancouver. Common sense suggests that the impact of a seawall/walkway on this marine foreshore will be significant.

The anonymous donor's $10 million would be much better spent purchasing street end real estate for marine foreshore viewing mini parks.

The Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­park board needs to hire a well respected consultant firm with knowledge in marine biology and geology to study this political seawall extension.
