Re: "Viaducts removal a done deal," Letters, April 19.
Letter writer Gayle Nesbit's conclusion that removal of the Georgia viaduct is a done deal barks up the wrong tree as it were. The bikes lanes slash greenway excuse is just part of the bigger plan to develop the last remaining swath of real estate on false creek.
The land adjacent to the viaduct belongs to developer Concord Pacific, and obviously the viaduct interferes with the full potential of the area. If there's one thing I've observed in my 15 years as a Vancouverite is that all major city hall decisions involve the real estate puppet masters. From the Canada Line along Cambie, to rezoning for laneway housing to bailing out the Athletes Village, it's always about real estate.
