The Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts may not come down, but an ideas competition called re: CONNECT is being held to help envision a future without them. Ideas are wanted for the viaducts and what's being called the "eastern core," which stretches from Northeast False Creek to Clark Drive. The competition is divided into two entry streams: free and fee. Both streams will accept submissions in three categories: Big Picture, Viaducts, and Wild Card. The free stream is directed toward people from any background without an entry fee. The fee stream, while open to anyone who wishes to enter, is directed more at design professionals such as architects, engineers and urban planners. This stream requires an entry fee. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 4. For more information, see vancouver.ca/ reconnect.
