Tree-inspired office tower concept proposed for revived Waterfront Station project
Singapore, Perth, Sydney, Seattle, SF and Miami are allowed to have tall buildings right near the water, because they are allowed to be big and tall cities.
Vancouver has several restrictions which prevent it from becoming a proper big city.
Major upgrades for Queensborough Bridge in NW
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/queensborough-bridge-upgrades-new-westminster-richmond
Another classic BC bottleneck-chokepoint. This bridge is so narrow, because there aren't any emergency lanes, let alone any bus & HOV lanes. The narrow and inadequate Queensborough+Bridge just wasn't designed for a properly growing seaport region. A twin or duplicate bridge should have been built immediately east of the first bridge, decades ago. A parallel 4 lane bridge would allow for 3 lanes on each bridge, plus a 4th lane for buses. However, that would go against the regional congestive planning agenda.

No plan to make 8th Avenue detour bus-only during Broadway road closure for subway construction
Given that this temporary diversion is only 1 lane each way, it should be just for buses.
25-storey, mixed-use residential tower approved for an industrial area
It might be a good idea to keep some land for industrial purposes in small Vancouver.
Whil Houston, TX has already allowed for this, it has a much larger land area than Vancouver.
