Re: “First vision of sewage plant raises a stink,” Feb. 14.
So what do people want the new sewage plant to look like: Disguise it as housing like the Oak Bay pumphouse cottage? Paint it bright colours? Make it a giant graffiti site?
The architectural impression looks too industrial is the complaint. Look, it is replacing a tank farm, which was next to a sawmill, which was opposite a paint factory. It is industrial — get over it.
My suggestion: Flaunt it. Copy the Hollywood sign. Put the word SEWAGE in six-metre-high letters on the side.
