I think sometimes if the public love a design, they have to give their utmost support and let the City know. There are cases, like the Vancouver House project, that receive a lot of support from the public and go through without any scratch, so to speak. On the other hand, if the naysayers are drowning the voices of support, as in the case of the Waterfront tower beside the station, then the City would also rip it to pieces. The City also has more prerogative on their say if it's an obscure project that doesn't get too much public attention, as in the case of the 1819 W. 5th project, and in that case they tend to "dumb it down" quite a bit.

I think issues regarding the Arc could be that it is "too wide", but I hope the public lend their support if they love this project, otherwise Nimbys from the surrounding fearing that their views to be potentially obstructed will voice out strongly against it.
