Many of Vancouver’s stakeholders have begun to envision how the area between the backside of Gastown and the Burrard Inlet shore can be a place for the downtown to expand and redefine itself
For a city renowned for its connection to the ocean, Vancouver’s central downtown waterfront is notably unwelcoming to its residents, dominated by gravel parking lots, rail lines and service roads.
But while conversations with those organizations continues, other stakeholders are hoping the outpouring of ideas, and renewed enthusiasm, will motivate change. Mr. Kerfoot has held the rights to the airspace over the tracks behind Gastown for years, since he proposed a soccer stadium on the waterfront in 2006.
When it comes to the transportation-related bodies, there has been a varying level of interaction with the new concepts. TransLink’s vice-president of planning attended the gathering that Mr. Beasley organized, but neither the port nor the rail-line companies were present. Both are key players in the city’s economy, and have not expressed willingness in the recent past to give up any land they currently control.
