I believe that in some areas near other recent multi family buildings there has been significant upgrades to the sewer system already done. Those areas should be identified and zoned for higher fsr multiplexes. Also, every area within a 10-15 minute walk of a transit station should be zoned for significant fsr increases, and if necessary, sewer upgrade work in those areas done immediately.

Thanks, Clive. A 2021 article by Frances Bula notes that rezoning for more housing near Nanaimo and 29th Avenue stations has been frozen because the sewers need to be upgraded. (The question that immediately comes to mind - what would it take to upgrade them sooner rather than later?) https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/british-columbia/article-mad-dash-to-build-vancouver-housing-leaves-infrastructure-behind/
