THOMPSON BERWICK PRATT & PARTNERS a eis Cec - ViASo COLLEGE ARCHIVES Mr. M.J. O'Connor 1985 May 31 Page 2 On hindsight I am relieved because, notwithstanding my enthu- siasm, my "volunteer" status would have been insufficient for the challenge. As it turned out, what we lacked in breadth I believe we made up for in depth. The conscientious and professional manner with which Mr. Leavens and his students (Messrs. Blackstock, Hart and Rohrer and Ms. Mc- Laren) attended to this assignment was refreshing. I cer- tainly hope the exercise was rewarding for them. I believe, although the work has no status in terms of its authority, it may be of interest to B.C. Transit. My purpose as a surrogate client acting hypothetically in the interests of B.C. Transit was to focus the attention of a survey on aspects which might be of particular interest to transit planners and property developers. You may wish to bring this to Mr. Flanigan's attention. i would appreciate the Hon. Jack Davis being apprised, as the "process" itself might be of interest to him. By copy of this letter to Mayor Baker and Mr. Day I acknow- ledge their supporting interest and thank them for their earnest co-operation at a crucial time. Yours truly, THOMPSON, BERWICK, PRATT & PARTNERS Richard C. Mann £.T.a.i Cs H.C el sis RCM*MF Ene. cc: Mayor Tom Baker Mr. William L. Day Mr. L.R. Leavens
