Vancouver city council to spend 2.4 million dollars to develop a plan to tear down the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts

The plan to dismantle the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts is a step closer to reality after a vote by Vancouver city council.

Council has unanimously approved spending 2.4 million dollars over the next two years to develop a plan for tearing down the viaducts.

That plan is not expected to be put into action until 2018 at the earliest and the removal of the viaducts is expected to cost at least 120 million dollars.
