AIA Vancouver: Vancouver USA Streetcar Feasibility Study:

AIA Vancouver invited the City of Vancouver to partner in drafting a shared vision. The initial plan is to introduce a small and local streetcar loop system within the downtown vicinity that provides opportunities for smart, efficient, and sustainable expansion in the years to come. This would provide immense public transportation benefits and an opportunity to bring vibrancy and increased foot traffic to local businesses and downtown Vancouver. The streetcar system will be strategically located to unify currently planned amenities, improve Vancouver’s livability, and provide an alternative transportation option while encouraging community partnerships.

Press Release

What is AIA150?

The AIA launched a nationwide community service program, titled “Blueprint for America: A Gift to the Nation,” on May 19, 2006 by funding the first 60 grants for collaborative visioning initiatives, between AIA architects and their communities, created to produce a shared vision for a more livable future. AIA Vancouver was a recipient of one of the first 60 grants. The AIA will provide $2 million in the next six months to fund more than 200 grants. The Blueprint for America initiative is the primary program and main focus of AIA150, a yearlong observance in 2007 that will mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of the AIA.
