Shaping Vancouver 2016: What do I want from my street? Change is coming to Cambie, Main, Fraser<\/b>
\n<\/b>WHEN: <\/b>Wednesday, June 15, 2016;
\n<\/b>TIME: 7pm to 9pm<\/b>
\nADMISSION:\u00a0 free; donations are much appreciated as we are volunteer based<\/p>\n

<\/b>Increasingly, we see the character and street level retail disrupted by the creation of high-density mixed-use areas close to public transport. Although this kind of development increases the housing supply, questions around diversity, density distribution, community assets, and neighbourhood quality remain. It is a model that appears to preserve low-density single-family neighbourhoods by introducing Metrotown like developments.<\/p>\n

The panel will explore what factors make a street work, including how accessible it is for various modes of transportation, how it allows for a variety of activities, how pedestrian oriented it is, whether it provides comfortable gathering spaces, and how it contributes to a distinct image of its neighbourhoods as a means to assess the impact of the TOD development being proposed for Vancouver. A general discussion with the audience follows at the end.<\/p>\n
