LET IT SNOW:
Last Friday’s snowy commute home was already forgotten by the time residents hit the slopes at Queen’s Park on Saturday to enjoy this (hopefully) last blast of winter weather. John Ingram, with four-year-old Maika and eight-year-old Leon, was among the many New West folks who turned out on the hill to enjoy scooting down the slopes on all manner of toboggans, saucers and crazy carpets. For more photos of the winter fun, see www. newwestrecord.ca. And for those who weren’t such a fan of the snow, we’re happy to report that no new snowfall is forecast for this weekend – it’s meant to stay clear and warm up to about 8C. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER
THE CHANGING CITY
Carnarvon tower will have non-market rentals New Westminster city council will entertain a proposal for a mixed-use project on Carnarvon Street at an upcoming public hearing. Domus Homes is proposing to build a project that would include 204 market condominiums in a 32-storey building and 66 non-market rental units in an eight-storey
building, which would be linked by a threestorey podium, at 813 to 823 Carnarvon St.The development would also include atgrade commercial space facing Carnarvon Street. “Some of the key urban design things we are trying to achieve with this project really relate to the streetscape and the interaction with pedestrians on Carnarvon Street. There has been much discussion about the way Carnarvon Street feels right now, and
we think this project will help to improve that condition for pedestrians on the street,” said Richard Wittstock, a managing partner of Domus Homes. “We have a two- to three-storey podium, very human-scale, along Carnarvon Street, with ground-floor retail and restaurant space spilling out onto a public piazza on the corner.The southwest corner of the site should get the maximum natural light and be a great place for pedestrians to sit and relax and rest.”

Domus is building the non-market housing for Performing Arts Lodges Vancouver, a non-profit that will provide veterans of the performing arts industry with affordable housing. “In keeping with the performing arts, it just seemed natural to play on that in terms of the naming and identity of the project. The project, going forward we are referring to it as Stage New Westminster,”Wittstock
