Views/ Visions of the Water/ harbour front

Something jarring – abandoned train yards from vision of PR as RR terminus

Note how the CN station and the mall above were byproducts of the original vision of PR by Hayes and Rattenbury, which failed to materialize

  At one time CN controlled access to shore of harbour--then it changed from RRs to real estate


Thus CN liquidated its train yard and speculators bought up frontage & foreshore

Millennium Parkway

Another vision – it is supposedly the one of the last mayor – a tourist walk paid for by infrastructure grants – an intro to PR for Tourists

Another Vision of PR --- Seafood provider to the World

In the distance is Atlin Terminal

What happens to the existing businesses and jobs??

Can you see Tourist buses here?
