The proposal calls for 64 rentals over five-storeys, together with a new space for the Vancouver Island School of Art.

I think it may have existed but I spent enough time in these waters to believe it's long gone. I heard one reliable tail from one of the oldest fisherman in the area he had something coming up grabbing his boat and shaking side to side violently for sometime.

Baro posted topic Former Mayfair Lanes Project

lpoutine,

Baro has just posted a new topic entitled "Former Mayfair Lanes Project" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't find the old thread on this but it was being discussed in my office and I can't remember all the details on this. I know Mayfair Lanes was demo'd to build a Superstore, but then that all fell through. Some folks in my office were saying it was the local grocery store cartel that put pressure on the city to block competition, what was the full story here?
