Central Vancouver residents express concerns about proposed Heights District Plan - The Columbian
City leaders are working to implement a plan to transform one of central Vancouver’s oldest neighborhoods into a major urban core over the coming decades.
For some of the people who already live there, however, that’s not exactly a selling point.
The area is filled with suburban streets, three schools, five churches, Park Hill Cemetery and the Vanco Golf Range. A bustling metropolis, it is not.
“I know, in talking to a lot of neighbors, you move to this neighborhood in particular because you want to be in a neighborhood with a bunch of houses, and we love the churches,” said Michelle Briede, co-chair of the Evergreen Highlands Neighborhood Association. “A lot of us go there, send our children there.”
She was addressing a full gymnasium of concerned residents at Marshall Elementary School on Feb. 4, in an emergency joint neighborhood association meeting to address the potential changes.
