^ I was actually against those towers, not because of NIMBYism but because I didn't think it was right for University Boulevard - that it should remain as public, student, and educational space. But now that you mentioned the retail portion of it, I'm gonna have to retract my opinions....too bad it was canceled.

I nearly puked reading that pdf file you posted....did a university student actually write that?

These students have absolutely no idea about what they're fighting for. The university should really just steamroll ahead and ignore these students.

Though I have to admit, they do have some valid points....such as why they're not putting the trolleys underground as well or why they're not waiting for Translink's UBC SkyTrain plans.



I haven't tried out the cafe at Irving. It has only been open for a few weeks, but it already has decent business.
