The Port of Vancouver published an online survey to gather public feedback about preferences for restaurants, events and nonfood vendors for a proposed public market that would be the centerpiece of the Terminal 1 project at the waterfront.
The port-owned Terminal 1 site is directly east of the separate Waterfront Vancouver area. The Terminal 1 spot stretches south from the BNSF Railway berm to the Columbia River and east to Columbia Street. It includes the former Red Lion Hotel Vancouver at the Quay building, which currently houses WareHouse ’23, the nearby Vancouver Landing Amphitheater and the pier underneath both structures. The rest of the site is undeveloped apart from surface parking lots.
The port is embarking on a multi-year plan to redevelop the former industrial site with new mixed-use buildings on the vacant blocks and a public market house akin to Seattle’s Pike Place Market on a rebuilt pier at the former Red Lion site. Construction began earlier this year on the first of those buildings, an AC Hotel by Marriott.
The anonymous survey quizzes visitors about their restaurant dining habits and preferences, as well as some of their other shopping interests and favorite types of public events. The survey is at www.surveymonkey.com/r/portvanmarket. More information about the project can be found at portvanusa.com/key-projects/waterfront-project.
The survey should take users less than 15 minutes to complete, according to the website.
