Time for Vancouver to Tear Down Its Viaducts?

[VancouverOfTheFuture]

i dont understand why the viaducts need to go for development. they take up a minimal amount of land in that area. most of the land is just empty. has been for decades.

the space around/under them could easily be activated if the city wanted to. not like this isnt done in many other places globally.

so the city is supposed to use the CACs from these developments to tear down viaducts, to have to build a new one anyways because of the cliff downtown is on? is that really a good use of, probably now, $600 million? wouldnt it be better to use these CACs on something the city actually needs? like new pools, community centres, repaving some of the roads they already have, finishing the "temporary" nearly decade old arbutus corridor path, or any other countless infrastructure projects?

but nahh, i guess it is better to use the $600 million for making development easier for a billionaire developer. /s
