"Tree fencing" (for construction) is up around the whole block for the East Vancouver Integrated Health and Social Housing at 1st & Clark (or what ever its called).

some of the houses seem empty so I think that demo will start on some or all of the site shortly by the looks of it.

Such high vehicular traffic area there, and not a safe environment for pedestrians, unless they conduct themselves accordingly at the intersections, and don't play wandering games and "don't give a f*ck" jaywalking. Not a great place for that kind of operation and clientele, I'd hazard.

It's a five minute drive to the New St Pauls

Not sure what you're on about, detox patients (or clientele as you prefer to say...) generally aren't wandering about.

I live near the current detox, there are zero problems with the operation.

It's a detox facility. The people who voluntarily check into rehab, and the people who play games with traffic... are really not the same people.

Also isn't this supposed to replace the existing facility on 2nd near the new Skytrain Station? I haven't really heard of much of an issue on 2nd/GNW.

Yep that is very under the radar if you don't know what happens there. More of these places please!!

A major update has been made to the moderate income rental home building proposed at the old West Point Grey Safeway. Whether it’s enough to address neighbourhood concerns blocking its path to a public hearing is uncertain, & there’s no pretty renderings either.

Would it really have been that hard for the architects to design it in a way that resembled a school from the 1900s?

I still think it's a lost opportunity because they didn't place the outdoor space along Clark Drive for the sweeping view of downtown Vancouver.
It would have also set back some of the units from the noisy Clark Drive truck route.

I guess traffic noise and the outdoor space was more of a concern than the view. I think the balcony wraps around the Clark side underneath the residential for people who want to go see the view.

Tower crane collapse during a fire at West 41st/Collingwood. The boom cartwheeled back into the other side of the street (West 41st) Hopefully those houses across the street were evacuated.

EDIT: I just noticed the firemen scramble around the firetruck that was parked right next to where the crane fell.
