The Viaducts Illustrative Plan. Community Workshops are happening next week (Image: City of Vancouver)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The City of Vancouver has released the initial planning products for their study on potential futures for the Georgia and Dunsmuir Viaducts, the False Creek Flats and the Broader Eastern Core Strategy.<\/a><\/p>\n

The vision entitled: “VANCOUVER VIADUCTS: a bold new concept” [Click for Slideshow]<\/a> is being co-presented by the City of Vancouver Planning and Engineering Departments.<\/p>\n

This planning process has been ongoing since the ReCONNECT<\/a> Competition was concluded in December. The Product produced with Perkins+Will looks similar – yet with notable differences – to co-winning\u00a0Submission 71<\/a>\u00a0“-Viaducts = Park+”. The proposal by Dialog, PWL, Larry Beasley, and the late Jim Green presented a vision of ramping Georgia Street down to meet a combined and renewed Pacific \/ Expo Boulevard.<\/p>\n

Open Houses are being presented next week, where the public is invited to view this new concept for the viaducts and provide their feedback.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, June 5<\/strong>\u00a0– 4:00 – 7:00pm
\nWoodward’s Atrium –\u00a0111 West Hastings<\/p>\n

Thursday, June 7\u00a0<\/strong>– 3:30 – 6:30 pm
\nCreekside Community Centre –\u00a01 Athletes\u2019 Way<\/p>\n

Saturday, June 9\u00a0<\/strong>– 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
\nCentral Library Promenade –\u00a0350 West Georgia<\/p>\n

Staff will be reporting to Council prior to the summer break (July 2012).
\nFuture public events focusing on the False Creek Flats are planned for fall 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
