(2) Council is willing to accept that Map B.2 be included in the regional growth strategy on the basis that the provisions will not apply to Port Moody. (3) The City of Port Moody objects to Table A.1 “Population, Dwelling Unit and Employment Projections for Metro Vancouver Sub-regions and Municipalities” on the basis that a. it exceeds the population capacity of 38,000 noted in the City of Port Moody’s current Regional Context Statement that was accepted by the Metro Vancouver Board on December 10, 2010; b. the current state of transportation governance and financing undermines the ability of Metro Vancouver to adequately coordinate the sustainable development of the region; c. Table A.1 needs to be annotated as follows: “The City of Port Moody population, dwelling unit and employment projections are not considered in effect until such time as there is a firm commitment to construct the Murray Clarke Connector and the Evergreen Line SkyTrain alignment through Port Moody.” (4) Council is willing to accept Table A.1 in the regional growth strategy on the basis that its growth projection provisions will not apply to the City of Port Moody.
