Public Realm Sites for Improvement --

suggested focus areas on

Broadway East between

Prince Albert & Clark

Trees highly valued -- but unlike this image

(south side of the street), the north side is less pleasant to walk.

Great plaza opportunity at VCC campus,

fronting onto Broadway -- in the past: plaza used much more for public events

Improve the gate to the

Community Garden (north side of Broadway East) and the sidewalk / boulevard stretch on the eastern approach to the

VCC campus (shown here), beside that gate.

The gate now

New gate?

Another view of the existing entrance (off

Broadway East) to the community garden

City Farmer gate

. . . one of many examples of more handsome gates in other Vancouver neighbourhoods

Uneven walking surface.

Permeable paving here?

Northern side of the most eastern stretch of

Broadway East, approaching Clark Street.

...or boulevard planting?

A single person’s work further east (McGill).

More amenities on VCC plaza?

Rain canopy possible?

VCC campus plaza seen as good spot for enhancement efforts

“Always dirty” is how walkers described

North China Park, on Broadway East, close to Clark.

Broadway to 8th, at Fraser St.

First, fix the lane connection to Sahali Park.

Some examples of improvements already underway, further west...

Programming temporary “plazas” -especially in or beside locations that could become permanent plazas

like Arts in the Heart

(outdoor film night --August 2012) at Broadway and Kingsway

See next slide shows too.

Private additions to the public realm

St. George Rainway (north-south link, potentially across Broadway East)
