Spanish Banks Beach now has a new naturalized water-flowing creek. Canyon Creek from Pacific Spirit Regional Park now empties out into Burrard Inlet from the surface, instead of a buried pipe. #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/span…

The Columbus Plaza at Clark and Grandview Hwy. For 38 years running, the loneliest public space in the city. Part of a suite of "multicultural plazas" that were installed along the Expo Line.

Even though they are called rain gardens, these examples of blue green infrastructure work year 'round -- providing habitat, supporting water conservation, & adding a splash of colour to neighbourhoods. L. St. George Rainway R. Mosaic Greenway

Have you seen the brand new plaza on Kitchener Street, just west of #CommercialDrive? A great addition to the neighbourhood! Big props to Livia Forno e Vino - the restaurant next-door - for championing the creation of this new public space. @liviasweets

Junction Market, at the foot of Granville Street, uses shipping containers to create small-scale commercial spaces for local artisans - like the good folks at Nutri Haven. It's also a great way to activate a once quiet privately-owned public space. #JunctionMarket #POPS

Getting ready for a night of music and dancing... underneath the butterflies! #BillCurtisSquare in #Yaletown hosts jazzy get-togethers throughout the summer. A fun way to enliven this downtown plaza.

Cambie and 18th Plaza, in #CambieVillage, is one of five pop-up public spaces that are receiving upgrades this summer. The redesigned spaces will transform asphalt roadways and temporary fixtures into permanent public squares. #TacticalUrbanism

Summer nights are for sitting on a park bench, catching up, taking in cool jumps, and admiring a fine mural -- in this case Deborah Sparrow's "Blanketing the City IV" ("showcasing the resurgence and significance of Coast Salish weaving"). Cathedral Square, Downtown.

Street poster of the day: "Room for Rent... Accessibility can vary due to partial detachment from local spacetime grid..." Dunsmuir, between Cambie and Hamilton.

Keeping cool under the whispering willow. Douglas Park (Heather and W 20th, in #RileyPark). Let's hear it for our tree friends, providing shade and calm, a soothing rustle and respite on a hot summer's day.

A phased implementation of reduced 30 km/hr speed limits is set for minor streets within the city of Vancouver. Down from the provincial default of 50 km/hr. #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/vanc…

Vancouver's public realm incorporates aspects of architectural heritage - sometimes complete buildings, and sometimes just the building face (or façade). Check out the following project downtown - at Robson and Beatty, currently in development.
