回復 12# tweety
I don't know about the result of the public hearing as the discussion was schedule for Monday April 19.... Since the application had been canceled by Starlight. the hearing isn't needed any more.

"I can confirm that we've received notice from Starlight Casino that they are withdrawing their application for a temporary use permit," said Bev Grieve of the city planning department on Friday (April 16).

Here is the link for the city's scheduled meeting and decision making...

# Monday, April 19: At 7:00pm, members of the public and any interested parties may present feedback directly to Council at the “Delegations/Opportunity to be Heard” segment of a Special Regular Council meeting. Written feedback can be submitted up to the time of the meeting.
# Monday, April 19: Council decision on the applications.

So looks like Starlight withdrawn the application before the city made any decision.

o... so the update on April 19 news makes me wonder if Target has other plans... but it's all speculation now...

There is speculation among vendors that Target Events Productions, business partners with the casino to operate a temporary night market that was expected to attract around 10,000 visitors a week, is instead attempting to reopen at the Landsdowne Mall in neighbouring Richmond, the site of previous night market that closed in 2007.

二埠夜市取消 傳重回列治文舉辦 2010年4月20日
【明報專訊】預定今年5月在新西敏Starlight賭場舉辦的「列治文夜市」(Richmond Night Market)，因為營運成本上升等問題決定取消。主辦單位正在尋找新的舉辦地點，並有傳言稱可能會重回列治文舉辦。

營運開支大增計劃擱淺
Gateway賭場及娛樂公司執行總經理巴內特(Tim Barnett)指出，取消夜市的原因主要是夜市攤檔可能會從原本預計的300個減少為225個，而且營運費用更大幅上升，因此雙方同意不應在這種情況下貿然舉辦夜市。

據《Richmond Review》報道，「列治文夜市」創辦人張明山(Raymond Cheung)表示，他與新西敏Starlight賭場達成協議，於上周五撤回夜市申請書，確定今年夜市不會在二埠舉辦。新西敏市議會原定於今晚討論夜市相關事宜，最後也將議題取消。

不過張明山透露，他與賭場皆在夜市計劃上投入大量金錢，因此今年雖然取消，但明年仍有可能繼續舉行。而在今年方面，他正在尋找一個適合的舉辦場地。

但是否如坊間傳言回到蘭士登商場(Lansdowne Mall)舉辦，他則不願正面回應，也未透露是否會選擇列治文。

列治文市議員麥樂田(Bill McNulty)則證實，張明山確實已與列市府接觸，並取得在列市重開夜市的相關指示，但未有提交正式文件。他認為如果張明山及時提交相關申請文件，趕在今年5月底於列治文舉行應無問題。
