City councillors seem more interested in other issues, especially those who represent the central lower city.

But heritage (and promoting quality for the "Hamilton" that gets built) are important.

I do want to note that it appears 33 Bowen will not be destroyed for 96 Main St E (thankfully).

Totally agreed on all those points.

And yes we were all kinda up in arms about that was it wasn't clear.. it's safe.. FOR NOW.

It's definitely one of the oldest buildings in the city, and sadly not very visible - but could definitely be very popular if it was sandwiched between 2 new builds on each side. The area south of sapporo is definitely a wasteland of potential building area I'd love to see filled up, just not at the cost of our character, nor our heritage.
