Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is set to bring a motion to city council next week outlining his priorities in the city\u2019s upcoming capital plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 2027-2030 Capital Plan would allocate $400 million across five community centres across Vancouver: Dunbar, Kerrisdale, Hastings, Roundhouse, and Kensington.<\/p>\n
\u201cCommunity centres are at the heart of Vancouver\u2019s neighbourhoods, and this is about making sure they reflect the needs of the city we are today,\u201d said Mayor Ken Sim. \u201cThis is the largest investment in community centres in Vancouver\u2019s history, and it will go a long way toward addressing the gaps that have built up over time and delivering better facilities for communities across the city.\u201d<\/p>\n
The motion also outlines proposed investments in infrastructure and public spaces.<\/p>\n
This includes a 25 metre pool at Sunset Park, public space improvements in Gastown, renewal of the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden pond, washroom upgrades at Kitsilano Beach and Second Beach, a spray park at Burrard View Park, and a turf field at Beaconsfield Park.<\/p>\n
The proposed motion for the 2027-2030 Capital Plan would mark a return to an exclusive focus on areas within the City of Vancouver\u2019s jurisdiction.<\/p>\n
\u201cVancouver is growing, and our infrastructure needs to keep pace,\u201d said Sim. \u201cThis motion is about setting clear priorities, focusing on the basics, and delivering the facilities and infrastructure people rely on, while planning ahead for what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Capital Plan will be developed by city staff and brought forward for council consideration following further analysis and public engagement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is set to bring a motion to city council next week outlining his priorities…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":607373,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194298],"tags":[49,48,55],"class_list":["post-607372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vancouver","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-vancouver"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=607372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607372\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/607373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=607372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=607372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=607372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
