Much of the seawall and public waterfront spaces that now wrap most of the downtown Vancouver peninsula did not take form until the 1990s, when major redevelopment projects began at Coal Harbour and the Expo World’s Fair lands.

 

For the most part, monotonous and generic green lawn parks front the newly developed waterfront areas by the seawall, and these parks become quiet and arguably underutilized spaces for over half the year when the weather turns cold and wet.

 

But the new park and waterfront space planned for Northeast False Creek, the last remaining major parcel of undeveloped waterfront lands on the downtown peninsula, promises to change all of that after the demolition of the Dunsmuir and Georgia viaducts.

“There won’t be one restaurant but 20 restaurants,” he said. “We want to create a commercial waterfront with a residential and park element to it as well. It won’t be an entertainment district like Granville Street, but because of the stadiums and commercial uses that’ll be in the area, it’s more about special events.”

 

“We will be enhancing the concepts of the special events that are held there like the Sun Run and the large events held at the stadium.”

20 more restaurants in downtown Vancouver? Better bring back the TFW program.
