2.1 CONTEXT PLAN
The site is situated within the Grandview Woodland neighborhood of East Vancouver, south of Broadway, and east of Commercial Drive. The site sits adjacent to the Commercial-Broadway Skytrain station and the busy intersection at Commercial Drive and Broadway. To the east of the site, the Grandview Cut runs diagonally against the site. South of the site is a mix of single-family homes and multi-family low-rise buildings. To the west, Commercial Drive is a busy street lined with a variety of fine-grained retail and commercial establishments. Trout Lake is located several blocks southeast.

The project site is composed of 1 legal lot fronting Broadway and E 10th Avenue. It is currently the site of a Safeway grocery store.
The total site area is 9819.1 m2 (105,695 sf).
Access for vehicular traffic and service vehicles for the Safeway store will be in the form of bridge elements from East Broadway across a portion of the Grandview Cut. Access for residential parking will be from East 10th Avenue.

• The view cone falls within the Public Plaza
VIEW CONE #27 - TROUT LAKE
• Located at the South Shore of Trout Lake Looking Towards North Shore Mountains
The view cones in proximity to this project are #21 and #27. View cone #21 affects the site minimally and has been considered in the design of the current scheme. The Grandview-Woodland Community Plan also marks out several street views to be protected in the nearby vicinity. These views are not affected by the development of the Broadway and Commercial site.

• Supporting community art and place-making projects in locations that frame or feature public views in the neighborhood.
• Creating a more vibrant walking experience on key streets, improving places from which the
