A group of citizens headed by social activist Jean-Claude Basque is calling on the City of Moncton to put a moratorium on the proposed downtown Gateway project – twin 17-storey apartment buildings along the waterfront – and carry out an environmental and social impact study.
In a news release Wednesday, Basque said the area along the trail is highly vulnerable to flooding and the proposed twin towers would interfere with the network of green spaces along the Petitcodiac River.
“It is a jewel not only for the citizens of Moncton but for all citizens of the region. It must be protected, and it must remain public. It must be expanded rather than be shrunk,” said Basque, who was spokesperson for the Common Front for Social Justice for more than 20 years.

The wing-nuts are starting to crawl out of the woodwork. Hopefully city council will ignore him, but this guy is an experienced social justice activist. He could give them a whole lot of grief...........
