I found developer Jim Hartshorne’s comments at the recent Planning and Zoning meeting quite interesting. He raises an interesting concern about the community-wide mixed-use that the OCP proposes.

Langford OCP touts density, sustainability

By Edward Hill – Goldstream News Gazette – April 09, 2008

Downtown Langford could be in line for highrise buildings and greater density with the 2008 official community plan, the City’s guiding document for the next two decades. Read the rest of this entry »

I’d like to encourage all readers to the site to provide feedback on how it could be improved. Are there too many news posts, and they’re hard to stay on top of, or is the more the merrier? What times of day would be most useful to you in having the site updated? I have noted that readership rises and falls dramatically day by day, so are there some days that are better than others to focus the bulk of the posts on?

I am considering going down to one scheduled site update per day, posted in the afternoon, as the site’s standard operating procedure (with the possibility of additional posts on busy news days, or when something time-imperative comes up). Your feedback on this proposal (plus any feedback from others you’ve heard that you could pass on) would be very appreciated.

Please post your comments at the end of this post, or if you’d prefer to share them privately please email them to steven.hurdle@gmail.com. When you comment publically, it does ask for an email address but it is kept strictly confidential and I am the only one who sees them. Thank you for your patronage, and I look forward to helping keep people informed on issues in Langford, and around the Western Communities, well into the future.
