Federico's Supper Club has closed due to lost business amid the COVID-19 crisis.

One man is dead after a fire at a commercial building in East Vancouver on Tuesday, according to fire officials.

The development, sited at one of the busiest transit nexuses in the region, would include a 24, 27 and 30 storey tower.

The facilities are intended to take stress off of hospital ERs while providing patients with same-day access to doctors and nurses.

More than a dozen Commercial Drive businesses are suing FortisBC over losses they say they suffered during construction last summer on East 1st Avenue.

The suspects allegedly followed the senior out of a payday loan business where the victim withdrew several hundred dollars.

"We’ve been here for 21 years and we have seen an uptick in crime and all of our problems," said the owner of Commercial Drive's Super Valu.

The project included 200 market units, which would subsidize 30 social housing units run by the Kettle Friendship Society.

The expansion of Vancouver's public bike share program service area has finally reached Commercial Drive.

"They have made threats, they have been physical, and they are suspected to be possibly be armed to some extent."
