This is really good to see. It brings predictability to development, not just for developers but also for residents who know what kind of development they can expect to see. Hoping this work will continue and reliance of site-specific zoning will get further reduced.

I caught the newly opened Port Moody shoreline boardwalk at sunset the other day, and it is pretty great.

Between being out in the suburbs and being newly opened, I think it is fair to say it qualifies as a 'hidden gem'

In immer mehr Städten (zB Basel, Koblenz, Paris, Zürich) zahlt das linke Auto fürs Parken mehr als das rechte. Anwohnerparken nach Gewicht / Größe staffeln macht Sinn, ist fair.
