Downtown Vancouver Alleys

[trofirhen]

It seems that a city has to reach a certain size and critical mass to do a wide-scale "gentrification" project on their alleys.

Both Melbourne and San Francisco are much larger, and busier, than Vancouver, with more money and more culture.

But we got off to a start with that little corner of Gastown, and I am sure there are several other alleys in the city, in other parts of downtown (away from Needle Park) which would lend thmselves to this kind of treatment.

At least the idea has entered mainstream thinking, and that is the first major step.
