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.
