So not sure if any one has heard about this but apparently CPR has recieved permits to put a large scale rock crushing facility on its right of way lands, next to that big abandoned wherehouse with all the broken windows, right close to down town. This would be a major facility which would drastically change the face of nelson with the constant noise of machinery and clouds of dust coating baker st. Apparently this land is already zoned industrial and CPR has a lot powers that normal corporation's do not. From what I hear city council is opposed but powerless to stop this development. I would recommend that anyone who cares about preserving Nelson should try to dig up as much info as they can on this. It makes the kootani landing development and the proposed development at red sand pretty insignificant, and perhaps evan just smoke screens to divert peoples attention from the real threat facing our community.
