Just read the thread title I thought its something related to BC transit. :) The project looks very similar to the condos neighbourhoods in South False Creek and Richmond.
 
Updated rezoning application:

The City of Vancouver has received an application rezone 949 West 41st Avenue & 5469-5507 Willow Street (Oakridge Transit Centre) from RS-1 (One-Family Dwelling) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. The proposal consists of 17 buildings between 3 and 23 storeys, a childcare facility, a public park, retail space, and social housing units. It includes:
  • a maximum building height of 70.1 m. (230 ft.);
  • 1,149 market residential units;
  • 180 secured market rental units, including 45 Moderate Income Rental Units;
  • 300 social housing units in two buildings;
  • a childcare facility (8,500 sq. ft.);
  • a new 2.34-acre public park; and
  • a total gross floor space ratio (FSR) of 2.30.

This application is being considered under the Oakridge Transit Centre and Adjacent Sites Policy Statement. The site is also subject to the Rezoning Policy for Sustainable Large Developments and Green Buildings Policy for Rezonings.

Renderings to follow.
 
Why are the roads through the site so wide? They're almost as wide as Oak...

Or is that last image showing the entire ROW area in grey?

I think the new north-south roads are going to be two lanes, a parking lane, and sidewalks on both sides. So, it's the entire ROW in grey.
