PG needs bold mixed-used zoning bylaw to maximize density, amenities, community, accessibility, and land management. Ideally, 6 stories+. This will also generate property tax for the city, re-circulate investment in the local economy, and create a thriving downtown.
I moved here in 1986 and participated in many plans for downtown development. Smart Growth on the ground was the most extensive one if I remember correctly. How many consultants have got rich from PG plans over the years. Why were they not implemented? City councils just don't have the guts to follow through? Very frustrating!
