Google tells me his full name is Mel Lehan ("The Mayor of Kitsilano"). He has been quoted in a lot of the free local papers on this issue. Mental Note: Google before you vote.
He was also organizing a meeting at the same location at the end of the month to push for streetcars. I don't think we have to worry about him having any success with the local residents, unless his true goal is to block anything getting built at all.

Lehan lost by around 10,000 votes in spite of how unpopular the Premier is. Jim Green came within one or two thousand votes a few elections ago when Campbell was more popular. His "support" in the community is way overrated.
