Vancouver Approves Broadway Plan Amendments

.

In the three-minute teaser to David Fine's documentary on Vancouver's Broadway Plan, former-Director of Planning for the City of Vancouver Larry Beasley says "there is an idea out there that demolition of affordable housing is just an inevitable part of a densification strategy in a city." He goes on to say "That idea is absolutely wrong" and that "there are just too many victims."

The 30-year plan is to create a "second downtown" to the south of the downtown peninsula — across a 500-block area that contains much of the city's most cherished character and rental housing, shops, and cultural landmarks.

Cast members reminisce about 'Blue Bloods' finale, family gatherings, and potential sequels.

On Thursday night, Council pushed forward and approved, with amendments, about 38% more residential density, despite the overwhelming majority of the 130 speakers that waited patiently all day to speak being opposed to the changes.
