It’s your city, shape its future!
From September 22 – November 4, 2011, re:CONNECT called on the citizens of Vancouver, to join with local and international designers to ignite discussion and dream new possibilities for the future of the Viaducts and the City's broader Eastern Core. The response was overwhelming, with over a hundred unique and inspired submissions.
The competition was divided into three categories, with two unique streams: a free and a fee stream. In addition to the selections from the esteemed jury, online voting was also opened up for a week to select a ‘People’s Choice’ winner in the three categories.
While no decisions on the viaducts are being made through re:CONNECT, the ideas the competition generated will help inform and inspire planning for this part of Vancouver.
The viaducts options will feed into the public consultation for the Transportation Plan update in spring 2012. Planning work to develop policy directions for the Eastern Core will continue in the New Year, with a report to Council anticipated in summer 2012.
