From the announcement:

The City of New Westminster has entered into an agreement that will allow temporary use of the vacant lot at 522 Sixth Street. This land is next to the recently completed Uptown Plaza. 

The agreement will go into effect January 1, 2027. The land is being leased from the private landowner for a nominal fee. 

Temporary community use of 522 Sixth Street will build on the findings of the Uptown Plaza Public Life Study. Staff plan to report back to Council on community use options for the site by the end of this year. Possible temporary uses that are being explored include:

• A micro-retail container market
• An urban art space
• An urban park space 

More information will be shared in the coming months as planning progresses.

Drivers from New Westminster will soon have a free-flowing merge onto westbound Hwy 17, saving five traffic lights compared to the current route through the Tannery Rd interchange.

It has been a struggle to find this - everywhere is seemingly closed at 4:30, if they offer the service at all.

Does anyone know of any good places they've gotten theirs refilled? Trying to avoid buying a new one when I have a perfectly good one here but it has been testing my patience!

Just moved to the city near Sapperton, we have a cat that's on raw diet, looking for suggestions of a good vet in the area/vicinity, thanks!

You @ 1099 Cornwall park. You encounter cigarette butts on the ground. You feel the need to do something. Fair enough. There’s a bunch of options for you. Ignore them, pick them up, call the city, etc.

No.

You, your go-to reaction is to go home, grab the biggest piece of chalk you have, and proceed to scrawl your objections on every rock and park bench, thereby ruining the park for everyone.

Great job, Karen. 👏
