This is nice to see. I just wish the City can hasten the project to fix up road paving around the neighbourhood, as well as clean/fix up the streets and vandalized walls.
Happening this Spring:
"After construction is complete in mid-June, the summer pilot will launch in early July to run throughout August. "
It looks like the Yaletown standard with pebbles stuck on top of the soil portion. This is probably not finished yet, but I'm not sure. It is a nice touch though. I hope they can be persistent about this standard for all the tree wells in this neighbourhood.

The City is responsible for fixing up the roads. The property owners are responsible for the walls. Every so often the City has to sue an owner who fails to remove grafitti or tagging.

Ultimately, the City is still responsible for everything. If they don't enforce the bylaws, the City would be a messier place.
A second high-profile high-rise tower that was planned for the West End of Vancouver is now joining the ever-growing list of development projects that are facing insolvency, with the developer in debt and the project site now being sold through a court-ordered foreclosure process, according to filings in the Supreme Court of British Columbia and a sales brochure obtained by STOREYS.
The project is the 28-storey, 300-ft-tall mixed-use tower that was planned for 1555 Robson Street, at the intersection with Cardero Street, which was set to have 177 residential units, social housing units that were acquired by the City of Vancouver, as well as office and retail space. The project was first proposed in 2018, according to City of Vancouver records, and the site is currently occupied by a vacant low-rise commercial building that shares a rear lane with Westbank's Alberni by Kengo Kuma tower.
connect2source, thanks for the street level views.
A coincidence ? On the same day of your pictures of a street view, someone sends me pictures of a bird's-eye view.
Am I interacting with the same person ?
This is a perfect example of a lot that looked too small to accommodate this, I walked by all the time and seeing it as just parking, it was hard to visualize the form. Certainly is a dense use of the site, nice to see it taking shape!
