City of Vancouver Council
Dear Mayor Kennedy Stewart and Councillors,
Re: Broadway Plan – Phase 1 Engagement and Proposed Guiding Principles
Report: https://council.vancouver.ca/20191002/documents/cfsc2.pdf
Agenda: https://council.vancouver.ca/20191022/regu20191022ag.htm
The Coalition of Vancouver Neighbourhoods (CVN) is opposed to the proposed Broadway Plan principles.
As we have stated previously, we support neighbourhood-based land use planning processes through the City-wide Plan, not corridor-based planning. The current proposal for the Broadway Plan doesn’t meet those criteria.
We also previously raised concerns that the phase 2 extension to UBC should also be planned through the neighbourhood-based City-wide Plan, not the Broadway Plan corridor process.
Please do not approve these planning principles and instead refer this to the City-wide Plan through neighbourhood-based processes, and not through the Broadway Plan corridor process.
Sincerely,
Larry Benge, Co-Chair
Dorothy Barkley, Co-Chair
