Vancouver city council has now passed the Broadway Plan by a vote of 7-4, establishing an overall plan for the areas adjacent to the new Broadway Subway. Thank you to everyone who took the time to write in and speak to council!

This Broadway Plan doesn’t rezone any land immediately. When there’s a future application for rezoning, the Broadway Plan will provide guidance for staff and council on what should be approved.

This is the worst decision Vancouver council has ever made. Housing is a complex issue and this was a very 2 dimensional proposal that will cause a lot of immediate harm by displacing renters, and long term harm by creating expensive housing and further eroding the livability of a once great city. Shame.
