The Northeast False Creek Plan sets the long-term vision for the last remaining piece of large undeveloped land in the downtown along False Creek.
The final plan for Northeast False Creek proposes:
- A new vibrant waterfront destination with amenities including childcare, social housing, artist space, plazas, an ice rink, and a cultural centre
- Opportunities for community and social development, including 1,800 units of social housing
- 32 acres of new and renewed parks and open space
- Replacement of the viaducts with an at-grade street network that will connect Northeast False Creek to the downtown core
What's happening?
Park design guiding principles survey
We enhanced our park design guiding principles, building what we heard during our previous public consultations. We are also receiving input and confirming the principles with the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, and park stakeholders.
We want to hear from you. What do you think about our updated park design guiding principles?
The survey closes on July 31. Your responses will help us to guide the direction of the revised concept design.
Confirming the updated park design principles this summer will help us guide the revised park design. In fall 2018, we’ll hold a design workshop with all park stakeholders about our design explorations that reflect the design principles.
