Soliciting public participation
Participatory plan development
Detailed market planning
Managing and coordinating a complex team of experts in communications, market research, transportation, urban design, and sustainability, HB Lanarc (as Holland Barrs) led the extensive strategic and practical aspects of the consultation. This included three open houses, eight stakeholder workshops, various public surveys, an interactive website, and ongoing outreach. The process offered mechanisms both for broader, general engagement, as well as deeper and more focused consultation.
The Speak Up! consultation process offered Granville Island tenants, employees, local residents, and the general public an opportunity to:
1) Learn about the Granville Island renewal plan and findings from recent studies into sustainability, transportation, and urban design/land use and
2) Provide meaningful and timely feedback on priorities and opportunities in Granville Island's future.
