City Conversations: Where will the traffic go? The viaducts, traffic and neighbourhoods
SFU Public Square Presents:
CITY CONVERSATIONS: Where will the traffic go? The viaducts, traffic, and neighbourhoods
Next month it’s expected that council will consider whether to remove the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts, replacing them with new, ground-level roads and creating the opportunity for new housing for thousands of families, large parks, a restored False Creek shoreline, bike and walking paths, art and cultural facilities. But some residents of Strathcona worry that traffic through their neighbourhood will increase, and others fear an impact on a community garden.
City-wide vision vs. neighbourhood values. To explore the issues are Brian Jackson, Vancouver’s General Manager of Planning and Development, and Pete Fry, president of the Strathcona Residents Association. We hope to have someone from Cottonwood Gardens. Then it’s your turn to weigh in. Feel free to bring your lunch.
When: Thursday May 16th
Time: 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Location: Room 2270, SFU Vancouver at Harbour Centre
Cost: Free
*Note* Guests are welcome to bring their lunch to City Conversations events
