A big thank for the @ParkBoard for fixing the benches and the lamp posts, reinstalling the lion fountain, and allowing to there be festival lights at #Yaletown Helmcken Park. May everyone's day be merry & bright! The neighbourhood thanks you! https://twitter.com/iyaletown
Does anyone know what they are planning along Georgia street? They have the orange construction fencing around the trees, assuming they are enclosing that plaza?

The earlier posts suggested the opposite - opening it up by removing that big concrete frame that doesn't actually perform any practical function.

Currently looks like where they're doing rebar prep work but nothing imminent until they finish the new tower I think.
A few updates from Davie Street (my photos, today).
The former/soon-to-be Safeway with two rental towers, at Davie/Cardero. Slightly taller tower on the left with orange tarps is the new rental at Davie/Bidwell.
^^^ Otis-Van's post is from December 8th. I took the pics below on the way back from the New Year's Day Polar Bear Swim at English Bay. Second pic is the back side.
There's an interesting proposal for the Arts and Crafts Building on Seymour Street. There's an application to convert it from office to a 36 room hotel.

That would be great! Save the building, and add hotel guests to the area.
The location looks as if it should be somewhat protected from / outside of viewcones.
Edit, answered my own question.
This site is permitted up to 550ft on one half, and 500ft on the other.
At 387ft. this proposal is a disappointment.
So bizarre how other projects try their best to maximize the view cone limits (1133 Melville even reluctantly having its height reduced), yet other projects on sites that do allow higher buildings don’t take advantage on this...
Unless there is another factor at play? Limited by park shadowing??
