Description

For the past several years, the City of Vancouver has been exploring the replacement of the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts with a ground-level street network. Replacing the viaducts would open up opportunities to: improve safety; remove barriers and reconnect neighbourhoods; create affordable housing and community amenities; build a larger Creekside Park; and cut down on maintenance costs.


In October, Vancouver City Council will be considering whether to move ahead with replacing the viaducts.

Come learn more about the past, present and future of the viaducts at a special event, featuring guest speakers: local community advocate Shirley Chan; Clark Manus, previous chair of San Francisco’s Mayoral Citizen Advisory Committee that helped reclaim and transform the Central Embarcadero area; and Brian Jackson, General Manager of Planning, City of Vancouver.


This is a ticket only event.
