Dear Editor,

Village threatened? Are you kidding me? Fort Langley already has two three-storey buildings downtown.

In fact, the challenge for parking isn't new commercial development, but previous developments that have extremely limited parking. The lack of parking in at least one current development is appalling. There aren't 67 parking spots in all the existing commercial real estate combined. Count it. I have.

Coulter Berry is great for Fort Langley. It will create numerous full time jobs. It will create a downtown community. It will add to the "charm, quaint, and historic feel" people love. It's time to move forward.

Doug MacLaren, Langley
