Vancouver council must chose between saving $200 million or 1,000 jobs with new arterial road GlobeBC
Joining the fight against the city’s preferred Malkin route are the fresh fruit and vegetable distributors whose warehouses front the street, commonly referred to as Produce Row. If Malkin becomes an arterial, four businesses would be forced out because trucks could no longer stop and back into driveways. Produce Row business owners say as many as 1,000 jobs could be lost.
There are definite upsides to the National choice. That route leaves Produce Row businesses undisturbed, would save the Cottonwood Gardens and turn Prior back into a quiet residential street. But Vancouver’s new city council must ask themselves if they can justify spending this kind of money to buy peace.
