to the plan, such as the requirement of 100% rental stock for residential spaces built on City-owned land, the designation of Prior Street as a neighbourhood street, the renaming of the Northeast False Creek area with an indigenous name, and a $30-million fund to improve the Chinese Cultural Centre.

As well, the creation of a ‘Georgia Gateway’ at the new intersection of West Georgia Street and Pacific Boulevard, through the allowance of three higher buildings that slightly protrude into the view cones, was approved.

But a proposed amendment by NPA councillor Hector Bremner asking for the creation of a flat development cost levy and flat rate community amenity contribution (CACs) was rejected. It also requested clarification on the required levies and CACs to support the public amenity plans, including sociala $90-million retrofit of the viaducts could extend the lifespan of the viaducts by another 50 years and address concerns over their potential condition during a seismic event. A full replacement of the viaducts for a 100-year lifespan would cost $120 million.

Demolition work on the viaducts and the construction of the new replacement road infrastructure is expected to begin in 2019.

The major redevelopments, largely by Concord Pacific and Canadian Metropolitan Properties, and the new parks and public spaces will emerge between 2021 and 2035.
