As most of you know the city is currently undertaking several community plans all at the same time right now. Norquay and Mt Pleasant were recently approved, there are plans underway in Marpole, Grandview-Woodlands, DTES and the Westend. The Westend has been underway for a little bit now and below are some boards from the last openhouse. Figured most of you would enjoy reading them and I'm sure some of them will please some members and will generate a bit of discussion. Remember though this is by no means the final plan and is a work in process and the final plan will most likely be modified.

Not being involved myself with this plan I don't know how accurately it represents the working groups work, nor the community at larges' desires. It does appear well thought out, and hopefully a suitable compromise to most parties. Will be watching it closer now that it's getting nearer to completing.
