Take our short survey

Background

The City of Vancouver is considering ways to support existing and new corner stores, and other small-scale shops and services in residential areas. This is part of a broader, Council approved strategy to create more complete neighbourhoods, where people have easy access to daily and weekly needs.

This survey invites you to share your thoughts on the types of commercial and other activities that you might like to see in these spaces, along with details about corner store buildings (height, location, etc.), and nearby public space. Feedback will be used to inform future policy and regulatory changes to support these neighbourhood businesses, expected to take place in 2024.

The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. It closes on Tuesday Oct. 10, 2023.  

This survey is NOT about:

  • It does not cover stores and services found on larger commercially zoned retail streets (e.g., Commercial Drive, West 4th, Kingsway, Punjabi Market).
  • It does not concern home-based businesses, such as a home-office, or other activities conducted out of a home.
