While we’re out enjoying Vancouver this summer on a walk, roll, or bike ride, we’ll definitely be stopping by one these five photogenic new public spaces recently installed across the city. —City of Vancouver
robson and bute pilot plaza. Featuring modular seating and a public piano, this car-free space is a must-visit for people wanting to sit and socialize, relax and hold small events. Until October, the city is working with the Robson Street Business Improvement Association to test different uses of the space, measure traffic impacts, hear feedback and see how the community might adopt this as a potential permanent plaza. @ Bute Street at Robson Street, Downtown (Photo by Paul Krueger)
meet the parklet. The newest addition to Vancouver’s suite of parklets, Meet the Parklet adds a touch of green to Main Street and East 27th Avenue with lush railing plantings. Designed and built by locals, you can sit, relax and enjoy a local snack while taking a break on your Main Street stroll. @ Main Street at East 27th Avenue, Main Street
vernon plaza on the adanac bikeway. The City of Van recently created a "double triangle" plaza at the Union-Vernon-Adanac intersection. It’s a place to sit, hang out, and watch the world roll by. @ the Intersection of Union, Vernon and Adanac, East Vancouver
arbutus greenway. Explore the Arbutus Greenway and travel seamlessly along a nine-kilometre corridor connecting False Creek to the Fraser River.
