Trout Lake public views update

The City of Vancouver is proposing changes to the public views from the south shore beach at Trout Lake. These changes seek to balance maintaining the mountain views that are enjoyed by the public with the need for more housing near rapid transit.
This follows July 2024 Council direction, and new opportunities enabled through the Province's Transit-Oriented Areas (TOA) legislation, which sets minimum heights and densities around transit stations.
Read through the information boards (PDF, 5 MB) to see visuals of the proposed changes, the location of the public views, diagrams of the view cones, and more.
Public input
Between April 29 and May 19, staff hosted in-person events to share information on the proposed updates and listen to feedback. We also gathered input through an online survey.
Thank you to everyone who filled out the survey and visited us at the pop-up and open house events.
Next steps
Staff will summarize feedback and use it to prepare a final recommendation. We will share this with the public and expect to present to Council for a decision in July 2025.
