Among the residents voicing their opposition to the proposed Rize development in the Mt. Pleasant neighbourhood of Vancouver is a 94-year-old man who lives in a senior care facility near the intersection of Broadway and Kingsway streets. According to the Vancouver Courier, Woodrow Coward feels that the intersection is already too congested: “This is the Achille’s heel of the whole project, in my opinion,” Coward said. “The project is simply in the wrong place and I think it is the wrong use for that particular piece of land.”
