<div><strong>Update: </strong>
</div>
<div><em>We must raise an additional $10,000 for ongoing costs and social media expenses. While we have a lot of support in Kitsilano and Point Grey, we must communicate our alternative vision for Jericho Lands across the City, especially to younger people. Reaching out via social media is the way to go. We need funds for running costs (e.g., website hosting), new website design, political advice, and help with social media. Thank you for your continued support!</em>

</div>
<div>We all love the Jericho area in West Point Grey next to Kitsilano, with its parks and beaches, and we hope you do too. That's why we are asking for your help.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>The MST Development Corp and Canada Lands Company want to build 64 high-rises, ranging from 15-38 storeys, on 90 acres of the Jericho Lands. This development would be a massive overreach in scale and density, and it would put a giant scar on Vancouver's sightlines.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>• The density and built form are not compatible with the surrounding neighbourhoods and are without precedent for Vancouver. The development would have a density of 50,000/km² – 2.5 x more than the West End and 3 x denser than False Creek North.
</div>
<div>• The proposal envisions a separate "transit-oriented" development, although there is no certainty that a subway extension will ever be built. Even with a subway, the development, with its projected 20,000 residents, would create massive traffic congestion throughout Kitsilano and West Point Grey.
</div>
<div>• The proposed towers in this dense development are designed to exploit the view and monetize it. This is not a development for Vancouverites, and it will do little to mitigate Vancouver's housing crisis.
</div>
<div>• A development this dense would profoundly impact the natural and recreation values of Jericho Park and the beaches beyond, which offer a refuge from the urban cityscape for all Vancouverites.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>We welcome an urban development for the Jericho Lands that replicates the scale and density such as the Arbutus Walk area (NW of 12th Avenue &amp; Arbutus Street).
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>We urge City Council to pause the project approval process and require the developers to redesign their project at an appropriate scale and density.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>We are a small group of dedicated citizens who want to prevent this gigantic development. We would welcome an alternative plan at an appropriate scale and density.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Please support our lobbying efforts by donating. Thank you!
