Planning work began in 2018, when city council provided a $3-million budget for the exercise. A draft plan was originally scheduled to return to city council for decision last year, but this work was delayed due to the need for further consultation and COVID-19 impacts. The latest round of online public consultation on the BWP, launched just today, builds on the previous public feedback received from residents and businesses on what they value and would like to see from the plan. The planning process is triggered by the Broadway Extension of the SkyTrain Millennium Line, reaching Arbutus Street in 2025. Feedback received for this consultation will lead to further refinements for additional consultation in the middle of 2021, and a draft plan with complete details and prescribed policies — similar to the depth of other neighbourhood plans — will be sent to city council for consideration before the end of this year.
