Cycling advocates are criticizing Vancouver city council’s decision to kibosh a 30-year plan to revitalize thethe ambitious West End Waterfront Plan on Wednesday, after the Vancouver Park Board approved it in April. The city’s ABC majority cited the price tag as a major reason.
“My first reaction was absolute disbelief at the council’s decision,” organization spokesperson Lucy Maloney said. “I think the essence of it is that they’ve kept the absolute worst part of the plan, and they’ve thrown out all the good parts.” “It is a bit of a fantasyland plan,” Kirby-Yung said. “I just think it was really disconnected from dealing with the current needs and then building on those over time.”
