The City of Vancouver has revealed its vision for the West End waterfront over the next 30 years.
It’s a pretty significant refresh that takes the growing population, climate change, a rising sea level, and reconciliation into account.
The proposals include raising the overall ground level along the waterfront by a metre from Stanley Park to the Burrard Bridge, along with storm- and drought-proofing beach and park space.

The city says the changes will be implemented gradually in the coming decades as part of Vancouver’s capital planning process.
