Following #Vancouver council’s stinging rebuke, the controversial 2030 Barclay proposal has returned with substantial revisions that largely address past public feedback. Yet, not even free food from Mr. Tube Steak could calm its opponents who dominated its open house. #VanRe
They were a coalition of neighbourhood activists, tenants union volunteers, aspiring politicians from Team, & members of the hotel union recently accused of foreign interference. Some folks had tape recorders & seemed to hope their own bad behaviour would result in a viral clip
There's been a significant revision to the plans for the West Point Grey Safeway moderate income rental building. Instead of two towers, at 19 & 21 floors, its recently filed development application reveals there's now three "towers" at 21, 7, & 6 floors #Vancouver #VanRe #VanCre
ALT Rendering of proposed building layout from the rezoning application approved by city council in 2025.
Now with homes, & a social services centre for veterans of Canada’s armed forces, the Arbutus & 7th Ave social housing building has returned larger than ever. Will #Vancouver embrace this once controversial proposal, or will #Lestweforget take on a new meaning? #Kitsilano #VanRE
Plans for the future of another #Vancouver Safeway will be revealed at an open house today that could lead to Collingwood becoming the latest neighbourhood, after Kitsilano and Marpole, to see their local grocery store return with a sizable increase in housing. #VanRe #VanCre
Call Unite Here’s efforts filibustering, or foreign interference, but they’ve successfully delayed over 850 city-owned rental homes proposed at the 2400 Motel as there’s simply not enough time for council to hear from #Vancouver residents before the election break #VanRe #VanCre
While some are trying to spread misinformation that the @CityofVancouver only provided last minute notice of this open house, thanks to the efforts of the @waybackmachine, we can see it was published at least 18 days beforehand, & the truth can prevail #Vancouver #VanRe
If you ever enjoyed a day at the #Vancouver Maritime Museum, this event is one you won’t want to miss. While the VMM hopes this proposed floating spa will keep their head above water, a group of hostile voices, including some Kits Point residents, hopes to sink them. #VanRe
if approved next week, major changes will be coming to #Vancouver’s Cambie Street Bridge that include widening the W 2nd Ave off-ramp, a bi-directional bike lane on the east side, replacement of the pedestrian staircase, & the demolition of the City Studios building underneath
As the opposition to the Waterfront Station Office Tower never really materialized, & with firms outside #Vancouver expressing interest in leasing space here, it shouldn’t be surprise this concept easily won the DP Boards approval, even if it will never be built. #VanRe #VanCre
A last minute hatchet job will eliminate 20% of the job space in the tree inspired Waterfront Station office tower. Its actually suggested that after 12 years of review, the proposal wait until a future city council eases Downtown #Vancouver’s height restrictions. #VanRe #VanCre
