safewayChilliwack city council has given first reading and set a public hearing for November 3rd, to get people’s thoughts on a plan to rezone the old Safeway site downtown.  After being left vacant for years, the site’s current owner, Sobey’s, has started the process of preparing the building for demolition…that should happen sometime in the next few weeks.  The city’s downtown revitalization plan calls for a mixture of residential and retail….so we could be looking at a high rise apartment building on top of some stores going in at the site.  But it needs to be rezoned first, and council will listen to any concerns at the meeting on the 3rd.
