Nothing like going backwards, that's the nature of Vancouver and its watering down mentality. Apparently, there is no concept to build a much larger facility in 2 or 3 phases, so just scale it down and do something that is impressive by Prince Rupert, Prince George or Kamloops standards. Smalltown Vancouver thinking really gets to be so irritating.
The new Vancouver+Aquatic+Centre could easily be built 6-8 metres above sea level. There is extra space north, east & south of the old buildings footprint. Unfortunatly, Vancouver has become so entrenched with a mentality or an agenda to mostly build what would only be impressive by backwater BC standards.
