Arts Centre – SIte Survey – ADRA Comment
westvancouverite have a survey to ask where residents would prefer the proposed new Arts Centre to be located. Unfortunately the survey would fail Stats-101 because it does not permit the respondent to say “We Can’t Afford a $38 Million Arts Centre ANYWHERE!”.
Our board member, Graham McIsaac felt exactly that way – and this is his survey response:
| Which location do you prefer for a future Arts & Culture Centre? I do not like either option Please briefly explain why you chose this response for question 1. I do not support building an Arts Centre that will cost $38 million + and I do not agree with building in Ambleside Park. A 21,000 sq foot building surely is more than needed. We should be asking residents whether they actually want an Arts Centre prior to asking them where it should be located!!! Do you have any comments related to site selection for West Vancouver’s Arts & Culture Centre? Building in Ambleside Park and near the waterfront makes no sense ( just the cost re flood protection) – traffic in and out of the park make this area busy already. |
