Jesus Christ...between this, Lacey Court, Western Block, and even bulldozing Olympic Plaza the City has provided zero leadership in terms of preserving the dwindling number of heritage assets we have left in this City.

Disgusting behaviour by the owners of that property. Between this, the Western Block (corner of 10th Ave and 1st), and the building in Inglewood that's in Jeopardy; we are losing a lot of irreplaceable character architecture for limited gain.

It's wild that they are ripping out (arguably) the city's most important and historical public space without any ability for the public to review what will be replacing it.

That drawing is from 2022 - it's a version of the Stephen Avenue Quarter project that is long dead.

Vic Park bus barns is the way to go.

I like that they are upgrading to protected bike lanes, but I wish they were keeping both 14th and 15th as one ways.

Yeah definitely an unfortunate decision to take away so much space from the plaza and surround it with even more dead institutional buildings.

Are they using high floor trains? Wouldn't that be a total re-design?

Good - plenty of spandex dorks and e-bike losers ripping way too fast on the pathways lately.

AECOM is not the same as AECON.

Why not run at grade on 11 Ave turning north onto 1st Street SW? Might have to dig out the CP underpass a little. They could then do a short cut and cover tunnel for a station immediately north of 9th Ave, come back to grade north of 7th, and then have an elevated station near Sien Lok Park...

Putting the central station in East Village is dumb.

Thank jebus!

Always so dramatic!

6 years as mayor and he couldn't get a shovel in the ground - but it's everyone else's fault. 🤣
