Finally! After years of campaigning a public toilet in Mount Pleasant. And right across from the soon to be opened (2029) subway station. Such convenience! @mountpleasantbia.bsky.social
So the City of Vancouver shot down a plan for more multifamily housing but approved the Holborn Group towers. Cool cool. Once more for those in the back: elections in October.
