Community excitement around the permanent Bute-Robson Plaza

A detailed design for the permanent Bute-Robson Plaza was presented during the second phase of public engagement. The community is excited about the new plaza and the improvements it brings.

Many respondents look forward to spending time in the new, permanent public spaces

• Including to eat and drink, socialize, and rest

The design successfully separates spaces for people to sit and gather, from the paths for people moving through

• This separation helps avoid conflicts and make the space comfortable for everyone

Some worry about how the plaza spaces will be kept clean and welcoming

• Community partners like the Robson Street Business Association (RSBA) can continue to support day-to-day Plaza management. The City can provide additional support to help keep it clean, safe and welcoming.
