FIELD VISIT<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A field visit to the two hypothetical case sites \u2014\u00a0 ‘Watson Street Lane’ and ‘Main Alley’ \u2014 was planned and co-ordinated by Megan Herod (Planner, City of Vancouver) with City of Vancouver staff (which included Sahisna Chitrakar, Lauren Whitney, Chris Erdman, and Andrew Misiak). Students were led on two walking tours with each one drawing attention to existing laneway conditions vis-\u00e0-vis the neighbourhood vicinity and comprehensive Broadway area plan.<\/p>\n
