Anyone who expects their best friend to break a bloodshed in a Vancouver park, wait.
On Monday night, the Vancouver Parks Council voted to postpone the pilot so that staff can also explore the tactics to expand and plan by making an assignment for more neighborhoods to drive around the city.
The proposed initial amendment to the regulations would allow drinking in Vancouver’s designated spaces of 10 parks between 11 a.m. and nine p.m.
However, park council commissioners questioned the plan at Monday night’s assembly and voted unanimously to review the pilot in two weeks, once they amended the proposal to include:
Staff had proposed 10 designated alcohol consumption sites, adding two small grassy sections near the Stanley Park Brew pub and restaurant.
Other sections included Vanier, Queen Elizabeth, New Brighton, Fraser River, Locarno, Trout Lake, Harbour Green, South Memorial and Quilchena Parks.
Everyone is excluded from the plan.
Park Council Commissioner Dave Demers questioned the plan to allow alcohol consumption at the 10 designated sites. “With this recommendation, we are necessarily forcing 10 beer gardens into our system,” he said.
“I think the main concept of this task was to motivate other Americans to exploit their own local park as their own backyard.”
In April, two motions were filed with Vancouver City Council to announce the assumption of allowing alcohol intake in the parks bound for, even though the general resolution was made through the park’s council.
Port Coquitlam, the city of North Vancouver and Penticton recently voted to allow alcohol in some parks, while Vernon and Saanich voted against it.
The Vancouver Parks Council will vote on a revised pilot assignment for the park’s drinking sites on July 20.
If adopted, the pilot assignment will continue until October 12.
Lately it’s illegal to drink alcohol in a Park in Vancouver.
