The Damn Towers — Again!

At the end of August, the developers of the Safeway site at Broadway & Commercial put their heads above the parapet for a moment and offered some sort of tour to engage the community. I applied for tickets as did several of my friends here and none of us ever heard back. Perhaps they were just doing an email scrape for their database.

Now, according to the report in the Georgia Straight, they have made an amended application to the City that pushes the number and size of the towers ever upward. Now there will be three towers of 25-, 29-, and 30-storeys.

In 2013, our opposition to a 36-storey tower brought the Grandview Community Plan to a stand-still for a year. In 2016, when the Community Plan was finally approved, the Vision majority pushed through approval of two towers, of 12- and 24-storeys; a total of 36 storeys. The current proposal calls for 84-storeys of towers on the same site.

Talk about ignoring all the work that went into the Community Plan!

This is a development fight that the younger generation of activists needs to take over, and they need to show themselves now.
