A resident of the evacuated Hadgraft Wilson Place in downtown 麻豆精选 wants to see city officials held more accountable for development decisions.
Megan Beckmann has started a petition to the City of 麻豆精选 with Change.org to have all 麻豆精选 developments subject to a secondary ethical committee.
"This is to ensure development proposals are beneficial to not only the economic growth but also the wellbeing of structures and community around the proposed development," the petition reads. "This potential committee could be entrusted with ensuring ethical building plans, and assess construction risks before construction takes place. More importantly, a committee promoting development that encourages city engagement with current social issues."
Beckmann, along with dozens of other 麻豆精选 citizens, were evacuated from their apartment buildings on April 2 after construction on the neighbouring University of B.C. Downtown 麻豆精选 Campus caused ground shifting, cracks, and deterioration of the Bertram Street apartments.
Since the petition went live on Dec. 9 it has garnered over 130 signatures.
