I've always felt that the whole riverbank area by the Renfrew dealership could be redeveloped nicely into a boardwalk type area with commercial/office space... A pedestrian bridge could be built in that area as well in the future .. That part of the river gets a lot of nice sun in the latter half of the day and would be very scenic looking onwards to downtown in the evening .. Of course when it's wintery here 8 months of the year, that makes the sustainability of the idea tough unless there is plans to increase denisity that area to the south in Sunalta with more residential ... A nice dream though

I also think that area would be a neat spot for a unique tall tower as a tourist type attraction .. Possibly with hotel space mixed in with condo's office ... Since the Sunulta station is there too .. The land around the GSL dealership is oddly shaped, but large enough for a completely different design .. A 360 degree observation deck would provide beautiful mountain views and views of downtown
