On Tuesday April 17th Vancouver City Council approved our proposed Mount Pleasant project with nine out of ten voting council members (including Mayor Robertson) supporting the project.

Mayor Robertson, in his comments to city council Tuesday, noted that the project fits with the Mount Pleasant Community Plan and that it supports transit-oriented development. The project also secures major investment in the arts and affordable housing for Mount Pleasant (minutes of the meeting and video stream are available on the Vancouver City Council website).

Recently, we told you about Captures, a project that seeks to share the soul of the Mount Pleasant community through photos. The exhibit, organized by the Vancouver-based organization Art Not Ads, collected photos from Mount Pleasant residents of the things they think make their neighbourhood great, with the aim of showcasing what really makes a community.

The exhibit has finally been unveiled! We invite you to visit the corner of Kingsway and Broadway to see the display. The exhibit is open to the public 24/7.

How does your city grow?

Here’s an FAQ on the Rize Mount Pleasant rezoning proposal, where we address everything from housing affordability, to architecture, to sustainability.

Vancouver is a growing city. Although supply is not the only solution to Vancouver’s affordability problem – in a growing region, there can be NO move toward affordability without supply.
