NEFC planned
passed. Lots more discussion to be had, and undoubtedly subject to future changes, but it's a matter now of how the viaducts will come down, not if. A tough choice, but IMO ultimately a better one.
Not surprising how the NPA refused support, but i was surprised how adrienne carr voted for most of the motions. and no elizabeth ball?
Quote:
Council voted on 14 separate recommendations and amendments to approve the plan, with NPA councillors Melissa De Genova, Hector Bremner and George Affleck arguing unsuccessfully to defer a vote until more consultation was done with the public.
City staff emphasized an implementation plan, along with a financial strategy, still have to go before city council for approval. Rezoning applications for the various properties at Northeast False Creek also have to be heard by council.
