Vancouver Heritage Commission says “Stadium in Gastown would be detrimental”

OK, OK, so it’s not precisely ‘our’ voices.  But this represents voices, the expert ones actually, who we, via city hall, have selected to make informed comments on various urban design choices regarding heritage.    I found this  document

of the Vancouver Heritage Commission which concludes…

 the stadium … is in fact detrimental in its urban design relationship to the heritage values of the neighbouring urban fabric and the historic connection to the waterfront.

Only Susan Antonson differed.

Similarly, JJ Lee (CBC Radio 1, Georgia Straight columnist on design in Vancouver) had some insightful comments, albeit back in April 2006, when the issue was just heating up.
