Vancouver city council threw its support behind a massive revitalization project for the northeast end of False Creek, including the new retractable roof for BC Place, ensuring the giant dome be part of the city skyline in some form for years to come.
The plan spearheaded by the B.C. Pavilion Corporation, which operates BC Place for the provincial government, includes a new art gallery on the shores of False Creek, plus 130,000 square metres of residential, retail and office space.
Mayor Sam Sullivan said he was pleased the area around the stadium will be redeveloped to draw more people into the space after the Olympics.
“It’s going to have cafes. It’s going to have an outward focus, maybe little shops around it. The unfriendly pedestrian environment will be changed,” said Sullivan.
