Vancouver’s decision to remove or alter some mountain views sparks outrage
Vancouver’s mountain views are easily the city’s best feature, which is why city council’s recent decision to obscure some of those vistas with taller towers is such a contentious one.
Many people likely aren’t aware that many of the sights – such as the iconic one from Broadway and Cambie – are the intentional result of a view cone policy that was adopted in 1989. Those guidelines meant developers couldn’t obscure sightlines from key points throughout the city.
