Still Creek and its salmon-bearing sections, the connections to rapid transit, and neighbourhood parks that feature great views of the mountains are some of the things residents feel make the planning area unique. This spring we asked residents to tell us about their neighbourhood, what makes it special and what needs to be improved. We heard about the need for new housing options, more small-scale, neighbourhood retail and new spaces for arts and culture. More than 600 residents and organizations participated in engagement activities this spring including:

• Community Survey (~300 responses)
• Neighbourhood Asset Mapping (where participants were given a map and asked to point out places important to them, or places they think need to be improved) (~100 participants)
• Open Houses and Pop-Ups (170 participants)
• Meetings and workshops with equity-denied populations (80 participants)
• Stakeholder meetings and interviews (~50 participants)

We also asked the community for input on ideas raised during the Vancouver Plan engagement, including housing, economy, and transportation and public space. Responses were generally supportive, and we’ll be looking at some elements the community felt were missing, like the location of new housing options, and how to balance housing needs with the need for employment space in the next phase of public engagement.

For more details about our first phase of engagement in spring 2022 including detailed results of the survey, neighbourhood asset mapping and meetings and workshops see either the full public engagement report or the summary report.

Thanks to all who provided their time, energy, input and ideas during our first round of engagement on the Rupert and Renfrew Station Area Plan.

居民認為，Still Creek 及其三文魚洄游區、快速交通連接以及擁有美麗山景的社區公園是令這個規劃範圍獨一無二的因素。今年春天，我們請居民介紹自己所在的社區、其特別之處和需要改進的地方。我們瞭解到在新住屋選擇、較小型社區零售商鋪和新藝術和文化空間方面的需求。

今年春天有超過 600 名居民和組織參加了公眾參與活動，其中包括：

• 社區問卷調查（約 300 份回覆）
• 社區資產地圖記錄（參與者拿到一份地圖並按要求標出他們認為重要的地點或需要改善的地點）（約 100 名參與者）
• 開放日和快閃活動（170 名參與者）
• 與被剝奪權利群組舉行會議和研討會（80 名參與者）
• 利益相關方會議和訪問（約 50 名參與者）

我們同時邀請社區居民就溫哥華計劃公眾參與期間所收到的觀點提供意見，包括住屋、經濟、交通和公共空間等問題。所收到的回覆普遍表示支持，我們將深入研究居民認為在社區中較為缺少的因素，例如新住屋選擇的位置，以及如何在下一階段的公眾參與中平衡住屋需求和就業空間需求。有關我們在 2022 年春季第一階段公眾參與的更多詳細資料，包括問卷調查的詳細結果、社區資產地圖記錄以及會議和研討會，請參閱相關報告

對於在 Rupert 和 Renfrew 車站範圍規劃的第一輪公眾參與期間提供時間、精力、意見和構思的所有人士，我們深表感謝。

Cải tạo dòng Still Creek và các đoạn có nhiều cá hồi, các phần kết nối với hệ thống giao thông công cộng nhanh (rapid transit) và các công viên nằm trong khu phố có tầm nhìn đẹp ra phía núi là một số yếu tố khiến cho cư dân cảm thấy khu quy hoạch độc đáo. Mùa xuân này, chúng tôi đã yêu cầu cư dân cho chúng tôi biết về khu phố của mình, điều gì làm cho khu phố đó trở nên đặc biệt và cần cải thiện những gì. Chúng tôi đã nghe nói về sự cần thiết phải có các lựa chọn nhà ở mới, quy mô nhỏ hơn, trung tâm bán lẻ trong khu phố và không gian mới dành cho nghệ thuật và văn hóa.

Hơn 600 cư dân và tổ chức đã tham gia vào các hoạt động xin ý kiến công chúng vào mùa xuân này bao gồm:

• Khảo sát Cộng đồng (~300 câu trả lời)
• Lập bản đồ Công trình Khu phố (trong đó người tham gia được phát một tờ bản đồ và được yêu cầu chỉ ra những địa điểm quan trọng đối với họ hoặc những nơi họ cho là cần được cải thiện) (~100 người tham gia)
• Các buổi Trình bày và Quảng bá (170 người tham gia)
• Các cuộc họp và hội thảo với những người bị đối xử bất công (80 người tham gia)
• Các cuộc họp và phỏng vấn các bên liên quan (~50 người tham gia)

Chúng tôi cũng yêu cầu cộng đồng đóng góp ý kiến về các ý tưởng được nêu ra trong quá trình xin ý kiến công chúng cho Quy hoạch Vancouver, bao gồm nhà ở, kinh tế, giao thông và không gian công cộng. Các ý kiến phản hồi nói chung là ủng hộ và chúng tôi sẽ xem xét một số yếu tố mà cộng đồng cảm thấy còn thiếu, như vị trí của các lựa chọn nhà ở mới và cách cân bằng nhu cầu nhà ở với nhu cầu không gian làm việc trong giai đoạn tiếp theo của tiến trình xin ý kiến công chúng. Để biết thêm thông tin chi tiết về giai đoạn xin ý kiến công chúng đầu tiên của chúng tôi vào mùa xuân năm 2022, bao gồm kết quả khảo sát chi tiết, lập bản đồ công trình khu phố cũng như các cuộc họp và hội thảo, hãy xem báo cáo xin ý kiến công chúng.

Cảm ơn tất cả mọi người đã dành thời gian, sức lực, cung cấp ý kiến đóng góp và ý tưởng của mình trong giai đoạn xin ý kiến công chúng đầu tiên của chúng tôi về Quy hoạch Khu vực Ga Rupert và Renfrew.

Ang Still Creek at ang mga seksiyon nitong may salmon, ang mga koneksiyon sa rapid transit, at mga parke sa kapitbahayan na nagtatampok ng mga napakagandang tanawin ng mga bundok ay ilan sa mga bagay na sa palagay ng mga residente ay rason kung kaya kakaiba ang lugar ng pagpaplano. Noong tagsibol, inalok namin ang mga residenteng sabihin sa amin ang tungkol sa kanilang kapitbahayan, at kung bakit ito espesyal at kung ano ang dapat pabutihin. Narinig namin ang tungkol sa pangangailangan sa mga bagong opsiyon sa pabahay, mas maraming maliit na tingian sa kapitbahayan, at mga bagong espasyo para sa sining at kultura.

Mahigit 600 residente at mga organisasyon ang lumahok sa mga aktibidad sa pakikipag-ugnay noong tagsibol, kabilang ang:

• Survey sa Komunidad (~300 sagot)
• Pagmamapa ng Ari-arian ng Kapitbahayan (kung saan binigyan ang mga kalahok ng mapa at pinaturo ang mga lugar na mahalaga sa kanila, o mga lugar na sa palagay nila ay kailangang mapapabuti) (~100 kalahok)
• Mga Open House at Pop-Up (170 kalahok)
• Mga pakikipagpulong at workshop sa mga populasyong tinanggihan ng kapatasan (80 kalahok)
• Mga pakikipag-pulong at panayam sa Stakeholder (~50 kalahok)

Hiningan din namin ang komunidad ng input sa mga ideya na ipinaalam sa pakikipag-ugnay sa Vancouver Plan, kabilang ang pabahay, ekonomiya, at transportasyon at pampublikong espasyo. Ang mga sagot sa pangkalahatan ay nagbibigay ng suporta, at titingnan namin ang ilang mga elemento na sa palagay ng komunidad ay kulang, tulad ng lokasyon ng mga bagong opsiyon sa pabahay, at kung paano babalansihin ang mga pangangailangan sa pabahay sa pangangailangan sa espasyo sa pag-empleyo sa susunod na yugto ng pampublikong pakikipag-ugnayan. Para sa higit pang mga detalye tungkol sa aming unang yugto ng pakikipag-ugnay sa tagsibol ng 2022 kasama ang mga detalyadong resulta ng survey, pagmamapa sa ari-arian ng kapitbahayan at mga pakikipagpulong at mga workshop, tingnan ang ulat sa pakikipag-ugnay.

Salamat sa lahat ng naglaan ng kanilang oras, enerhiya, input at mga ideya sa ating unang round ng pakikipag-ugnay tungkol sa Plano sa Lugar ng Istasyon ng Rupert at Renfrew.

On July 22, 2022, City Council approved the Vancouver Plan, which is a citywide land-use strategy that contains policies pertaining to transportation, community amenities, childcare, public spaces, food systems and more.

The Vancouver Plan contains the first comprehensive ecological framework, making Vancouver more climate resilient by restoring ecosystems and protecting green space and tree canopies. It corresponds with Vancouver’s future transit network and works toward the City’s climate target of having 90% of people living within an easy walk or roll to their jobs and daily activities.

The approved Vancouver Plan provides a way for the City to grow by allowing more housing options across all neighbourhoods, and builds towards complete neighbourhoods that will connect people to public spaces, shops, services, and transit.

A video is available that provides an overview of the Plan. Full details on the Vancouver Plan can be found on the project webpage.

Thanks for your input on the Rupert and Renfrew Station Area Plan. We appreciate the time you spent sharing your experience in the area.

We received around 300 survey responses and 100 people provided comments through our online mapping tool. We also received many written comments during our open houses and other meetings. We are now reviewing the input you provided and will be sharing back a summary of what we heard by the end of summer.

Over the summer and early fall we will also be working on a series of technical studies, including:

• An archaeological assessment of the area to look at areas with archeological potential
• An economic study to look at what types of new buildings (housing and businesses) would be possible to add to the area
• An update to the Still Creek Rehabilitation and Enhancement Study and a study looking at how flood risk is changing as a result of climate change and development in the area
• Studies and analysis related to where a new greenway could be located and where we have gaps in tree coverage
• Looking at where local retail is provided, where there might be gaps, and where we might be able to add new retail

We will use the results of these studies along with what we heard through engagement and the final Vancouver Plan to inform additional Early Directions (draft policies and recommendations for change in the area). We will be hosting additional public engagement in late 2022 on these additional draft policies and recommendations.

The survey and mapping tool are now closed.

We are just getting started and would like to learn more about you and your experiences in your neighbourhood. We have a few ways to get involved:

• Use our online mapping tool to identify important places and areas that need improvement
• Attend an online mapping workshop on May 19 or 28. Register here.
• Fill out an online survey
• Attend an in-person open house on:
  • Wednesday, May 18 at the Renfrew Community Centre from 4:30-7:30 pm
  • Tuesday, May 24 at the Thunderbird Community Centre from 5:00-8:00 pm

The survey and online mapping tool were available until June 24.

In late May and early June, we will be setting up additional meetings to provide focused opportunities for input from equity-denied communities. If you identify as a member of an equity-denied community or organization and wish to be involved in the area plan please contact us.

Print copies of the mapping and survey questions are available on request. You can email us to request a printed copy.

Calling all nature lovers! Did you know that Still Creek is one of Vancouver’s few remaining open creeks? This creek does double duty in the watershed collecting rainfall from your neighborhood, managing flood risk, and providing habitat to birds, amphibians, fish, and other wildlife.

Since 2002, The Still Creek Rehabilitation and Enhancement Study has been guiding projects within the Still Creek watershed. This 2002 study has become out-of-date and we are working on updating it. The new study will identify opportunities in the area using the best available science and management practices. Some study outcomes we are expecting include an updated creek daylighting plan and a list of projects in the Still Creek watershed that will help enhance and protect the creek.

Once we have completed the study, we will provide an opportunity for community input. Stay tuned for more information. In the meantime, if you would like to get involved in a community group taking care of the Creek check out Still Moon Arts Society.

The following instructions are a guide to help you map the things you love or things you feel need improvement or are missing in your neighbourhood. Steps 1 through 5 help participants sign into Shape Your City, open and navigate the map. If you feel very familiar with the Shape Your City website and the mapping tool, you may wish to proceed to step 6 of the instructions to guide you through the addition of pins.

We recommend that you use Google Chrome or Mozzilla Firefox to do the mapping. These browsers better support the mapping tool. We also recommend that you use a laptop or desktop for greater visibility and functionality if available.

   To scroll and reveal more pins simply click on the up and down arrows or use the slide bar.
   
   
6. Adding Pins
   
   Each pin has been coloured and labeled differently to help you. If you are unclear on what things to identify for a particular pin remember that the information panel in the map also contains short descriptions or examples to guide you. Refer to step 4 of this instructions to access the information panel.
   
   

	Pin	Descriptions
	Neighbourhood heart	What do you feel is the ‘heart’ of your neighbourhood?
	Groceries	Where do you typically get your groceries from?
	Restaurants, cafes, other food services	Where are your favorite places to eat out, order take out, or get a drink?
	Other shops/stores	What other stores and businesses do you visit on a regular basis?
	Parks, plazas, open spaces	Are there outdoor spaces that you visit regularly?
	Arts and cultural spaces	Are there significant arts and culture places that you visit regularly? These could be businesses, outdoor spaces, or other places
	Community services	Are there important social or family services you depend on? such as childcare, community centres, wellnes centres, neighbourhood houses or other non-profit services?
	Walk / rolling / cycling	Are there issues or opportunities you want us to know about while walking, rolling or cycling?
	Transit	Are there issues or opportunities you want us to know about while accessing / taking transit?
	Driving / parking	Are there issues or opportunities you want us to know about while driving or accessing parking?

	Unique / special	What makes the neighbourhood special or unique?
	What's missing?	Is there anything missing form the neighbourhood? Something you would love to have, but can’t access?

For each pin you may identify places or experiences you enjoy in your neighbourhood, as well as things that are missing or could be improved. You can add as many pins as you want for each pin colour. For example, you may decide that your neighbourhood has two hearts and not just one!

The Rupert and Renfrew study area (shown in blue) is the focus of the planning process. However, if you visit locations outside of the study area boundary more regularly feel free to identify them.

To add a pin do the following:

1. Zoom into the location you wish to identify on the map or find the location through the magnifying glass icon (Step 3).
2. Access the pin panel and select the appropriate coloured pin.
3. Click on the pin and while maintaining the click down drag and drop the pin over the location you wish to identify. Release the mouse.
4. After the pin has been placed on the map a comment box will open to the left of the screen. Please type the name of the place or provide a description of the experience you have chosen for this pin. Tell us what you love about it or what is missing or needs improvement.
5. To finalize your pin press submit. Only pins that have been submitted will be visible to us, so please ensure to do this step for each pin.
   
   

7. Editing a Pin

Once a pin has been submitted it can only be deleted from the map by a staff member. However, you can edit the location or the description of the pin if you realize you’ve made a mistake.

1. Click on the pin you wish to edit and an information box will open with your user name and the description you provided for the pin.
2. Click on the icon to the right of your user name and a menu will open.
3. Select the Edit option from the menu and a message will come up asking you to edit the pin.
4. You can relocate the pin and/or change the description.
5. Press submit when finished to save your changes.
   
   
   

8. Finalizing Your Map

Good news, you are done! If you pressed submit after each time you placed a pin, they have alredy been saved.

9. Have More Questions?

If you have more questions please contact us at rupertrenfrewplan@vancouver.ca. We will be offering facilitated online mapping workshops as well as in person mapping opportunities through open houses. Please refer to the Shape Your City website for updates on those events.
