Downtown Vancouver has changed a lot in
the past six years. Vacant, rundown buildings have been replaced with
upscale residences and retail. Dozens of new restaurants line the
streets and, in the warmth of summer, crowds stream in to listen to an
outdoor concert or attend one of the many festivals or events at Esther
Short Park. This transformation is a direct result of the 1998 Esther
Short Redevelopment Plan, a six-year strategy for revitalizing a
30-block area of downtown Vancouver. The Plan was developed by community
members and has helped produce almost $236 million worth of projects
that have either been completed or have begun construction. Another
round of projects have been announced or are under way.
It’s time to revisit the plan and
develop a strategy to direct change in central Vancouver for the next
six years. Vancouver's City Center Vision (VCCV) will be that
strategy. A group of community leaders (also known at the Community
Resource Team) is meeting to develop this plan in partnership with the
City of Vancouver, the Port of Vancouver and Identity Clark County.
