The City of Vancouver has released the final plan for Northeast False Creek, which will guide the creation of a vibrant new waterfront destination.
The plan provides:
- Vancouver’s largest increase in new and renewed parks and open space in a generation
- One of the most significant deliveries of affordable homes in British Columbia’s history
- The opportunity to reconnect Chinatown and Hogan’s Alley to the rest of the downtown core through a new and improved street network
"This transformative city-shaping project provides a bold new vision for the last remaining downtown waterfront,” says Kevin McNaney, project director for Northeast False Creek. “The plan provides a guide to the evolution of Northeast False Creek into a culturally vibrant waterfront destination to live, work, and play. Comprising 10% of the downtown core, Northeast False Creek is an opportunity to reimagine an area of former heavy industry and freeway into a renewed place of modern urbanism for people to enjoy."
The Northeast False Creek final plan will be going to Vancouver City Council for consideration on January 31.
Initiatives focused on Reconciliation, cultural redress, and arts and culture are included in the plan.
