St. John’s Church is the first major demolition project in the West End in many years, and if City Hall has its way, there could be many more demolitions and construction projects coming. This demolition is tracked to inform the community about these processes and help to make changes happen at City Hall that can reduce the negative impacts on livability. We have learned that the Vancouver Building Bylaw has many gaps. In contrast to other cities, Vancouver has no standards to control or monitor ground vibrations. No requirement for reporting to the public about hazardous materials (asbestos, etc.) at a demolition site. No real-time monitoring of air quality around a site. And so on.
