A LOT of tower applications within earshot of each other due to #BroadwayPlan . Demovictions in the thousands are coming. See our post about 1676 West 11th. By July, public hearings on projects like these will be banned in Vancouver, concealing decisions underground. #vanpoli

“Breaking ground” photo-op for ABC/Ken Sim and Holborn/Tiah.

BUT “construction on units won’t begin for months (per Tiah)” reported Penny Daflos

The problem in a nutshell. Upzoning with no requirement for social benefit is a god send for land speculators, not renters or first time buyers. From IMCL conference - Newport RI.

At 1676 W 11th Avenue, a 20-storey tower is proposed. Existing rental building on site. Another 6 towers are proposed in the vicinity. Q&A ends May 7th #BroadwayPlan #vanpoli cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/2024/05/01/167…

City of Vancouver 'Consultation Failure 101.' CoV relies 100% on online consultation, rarely anything in person. But here, on last day of online Q&A period, not even one question has been published. Lack of respect to the public.

At 1665-1685 W 11th Avenue, a 22-storey tower is proposed. Incorrect shadow diagrams. Existing rental buildings on site, #BroadwayPlan demoviction. Q&A ends April 30th #vanpoli cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/2024/04/30/22s…

At 121-129 West 11th Avenue, an 18-storey tower is proposed. A park next to the property would be shaded. This rezoning would break #BroadwayPlan view protections. Q&A ends April 30th cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/2024/04/29/121…

COV Real Estate Services:
a mysterious spreadsheet, missing contract documents, lease overcharges, below-market land sales to developers based on questionable appraisals.

A desperate need for accountability.
But will City Manager or Council do anything?

Douglas Todd: Shade problem stretches far beyond Brentwood’s highrises. It can be unhealthy — and unfair — for residents anywhere to be forced to live in the shadows of gargantuan new building projects. #vanpoli #bcpoli theprovince.com/opinion/column…

' #bcndp caved to Building Trades Unions who donated to their elections, wanted the jobs.' This statement by ClimateChange Steves *well corroborated* by Sarah Cox in The Narwhal to 2017. thenarwhal.ca/ndp-union-heav…

Full list of walks (including ones that require registration is available on our eventbrite page - eventbrite.ca/o/janes-walk-v…)

There are so many bikes in Frankfurt, they even have double level bike parking. A 'parkade' for bikes #bikeyvr

Opinion: Flawed #BroadwayPlan prioritizes density, not affordability. That's a big problem. #vanpoli
