Massive density increase proposed for West Vancouver.

Tonight, actually.  That’s when Michael Geller goes before a public hearing at West Van Council:

 It is the District’s first Heritage Revitalization Agreement proposal involving an older house and infill. While the resulting FAR is less than 0.6, it represents an increase over the District’s 0.35 FAR. A number of neighbours will be appearing in opposition. They would prefer to see the older house go, and no zoning changes.

  1. And a new Lionsgate bridge (or tunnel) too with more lanes AND HOV/bus lanes AND a train below AND a bike/ped path above ?

    Or a subway under Marine Drive from Dundarave to Lonsdale Quay, with a spur to downtown ?

    Or the usual “do nothing” about transit approach until the streets are clogged, like in N-Van, Port Moody and Coquitlam ?

  2. FAR of 0.6 up from 0.35 ….. neighbours appearing in opposition ….. prefer to demolish heritage and rebuild with inferior design and materials to keep ultra-low density …..

    Pathetic.
