West End Community Plan
The West End is a liveable neighbourhood that is home to a unique mix of people and places.
It is a community that features a range of housing, land use, heritage buildings, transportation options, and amenities.
What's happening
2019 West End Plan implementation projects
Recent development in the community has contributed to new amenities that were identified in the plan’s Public Benefits Strategy (PBS). The PBS provides direction for future investments in the community over the long term, including affordable housing, childcare, parks, civic facilities, transportation and more.

What is the West End Community Plan?
Because demand for new development is growing, we have prepared a community plan to ensure that future growth in the West End meets the needs of the community.
In 2013, community members supported a set of emerging and refined plan directions, including the West End Community Values, which helped shape the community plan. The plan focuses on neighbourhood character, housing, local business, heritage, transportation, and parking.

Jim Deva Plaza
Jim Deva Plaza was Vancouver’s first pavement-to-plaza project, and a key priority in the West End Community Plan’s Public Benefit Strategy.
Located on Bute Street in the heart of Davie Village, the project represents a major investment in Davie Village public space. The space was created by redesigning the block into a single continuous smooth surface that invites people in to sit and spend time relaxing in this busy urban centre.
