Create land needed at Macaulay Point

Re: “McLoughlin out as sewage plant site,” May 28. I grow weary of the constant media comment that Esquimalt does not want a sewage-treatment facility in its backyard.

Re: “McLoughlin out as sewage plant site,” May 28.

I grow weary of the constant media comment that Esquimalt does not want a sewage-treatment facility in its backyard. The citizens, through our elected officials, have vetoed a too-small piece of land that is the last undeveloped property welcoming visitors to Victoria.

Land reclamation is a way of life in many countries. If the Macaulay outflow is so critical to the Capital Regional District, take an architectural lesson from Dubai and Japan and create the land necessary at that point. Money wasted on Viewfield Road and double pipelines to Hartland might be better applied to creative solutions.
