Cordova Bay Village Survey Results
by Roger Stonebanks, citizen reporter
The Cordova Bay Association for Community Affairs has published on its website (www.cbasn.com) the results of a survey taken at the Sept. 21 community meeting where plans were unveiled for the “Cordova Bay Village” to replace Cordova Bay Plaza.
The association stated, “The CBA distributed a survey to attendees to gauge and better understand feedback on the updated plans presented. The CBA Board will now use this data in further discussions with the developer and Saanich.”
The survey results showed a slight majority in favour of the proposal and just under a majority satisfied with its design. Concerns about traffic were expressed – concerns that were vocalized at the community meeting which drew about 200 residents. There were 150 survey responses and answers to questions could be “Yes” or “Neutral” or “No.” The strongest percentage negative response, at 50 per cent, was regarding left and right turns from the residential-commercial development onto Cordova Bay Road.

I do not agree with the results of this survey. There is no proof as to where the respondents live in relationship to the development. The results published conflict with the tone of attendees to the Open House where this survey questionairre was presented. The survey is unscientific, respondents answers should be weighted towards their resident location and severity of impact by the development.
