Community Support Blooms for Growth of Affordable Housing Options at the Oakridge Transit Centre

949 West 41st Avenue (Oakridge Transit Centre)
After a couple rough civic engagement events last month, Darren and I were glad for the pause that came with Spring Break. With April here, already the meetings have begun and the weeks ahead look busy. Thankfully, this proposed expansion of moderate income rental and social housing at the Oakridge Transit Centre lands was a very positive start.

We were not the only ones to share those views, as the room at the beautiful Van Dusen Gardens was already full of people when we entered, and over 100 in total came through before we left. Despite that, we quickly noticed a crowd had gathered around one of the boards, and we soon realized why.

One of Vancouver’s most famous architects, James K.M. Cheng, was doing what he does best, wowing a crowd with his expertise. Darren has told me of the many times he witnessed this professional hold the attention of the Urban Design Panel with relative ease, and it was fascinating to see it. Though this time that skill did not seem very necessary.
