The park design was approved by Park Board Commissioners in May 2016.
Park Board staff have since been working with the project consultant, DIALOG, to develop technical drawings and coordinate development and building permits with the City of Vancouver Engineering and Planning Departments.
A Development Permit application was submitted on May 26, 2017 and the project is required to go before the Urban Design Panel in July 2017. The Building Permit application will be submitted in late 2017.
Construction of the new park is expected to begin in mid-2018 and take up to a year to complete.
In the meantime, the site will continue being leased to Easy Park and operated as a parking lot until construction begins in 2018.
