This isn’t a recreation area but it is used for teaching and a habitat to many species. Building from costco has caused run offs into the D.U. pond and flooding. there where many places a costco could have went up but UNB sold it to costco anyways because money will always be more valuble than trees…

tearing down forests whether it is for a environmentally friendly store or a faster ride home is never better for our environments health than leaving the trees. trees clean the air while stores add to the mounting pollution.

Rob, the wetland that is to be filled in isn’t ecologically sensitive, it is a holding pond that was created in the 1980s. It will be relocated elsewhere. Provincial law prohibits anyone from filling in an ecologically sensitive wetland (which is why there’s that fuss about the filling in of the bog on Bishop Dr).

I think the big concern is that we’re filling in wetland to build these stores. A “SmartCity” should have a better planning mechanism that avoids development in ecologically sensitive areas.

I still don’t think we need half the stores that will eventually fills those locations. Although a good argument could be made for a Costco since people already drive to Moncton to enjoy life sized bottles of Aunt Jemima.
