Written ByVancouver’s local elections are just a bit over a month away, and Mark Marissen, the mayoral candidate for Progress Vancouver, revealed this week how he is planning on tackling one of the city’s biggest issues: affordable housing.
Asked by STOREYS what he thinks makes Progress Vancouver’s housing plan more distinct than other parties, Marissen said that he believes the plans of other candidates cannot meet “the urgency and scale of the challenge.” The Vancouver Plan began its planning period in 2019, was officially approved by city council this July, and is currently in Phase 5, Implementation Strategy.: “The application was submitted to the city in 2019. Three years later it is stuck in rezoning limbo, with the public hearing having been canceled this past summer.” According to the City of Vancouver’s development and rezoning application portal, the application has been revised twice already, once in Fall 2020 and once in Fall 2021.
