Alma to Main (2026) is part of an ongoing series called A Walk Along, which documents ephemeral moments through repeated acts of walking the streets Vancouver. This piece focuses on the closure of Broadway from Main to Quebec as a part of the 30 year Broadway plan and its symbolism of the current transition from community to profit taking place in Vancouver. Alma to Main (2026) is questioning the representation of major change to our landscape through an unchanging city grid. Where do all of the redevelopment signs, construction fences, vacant condos go when the city is only represented by a flat map? Where will the long term residents on East 8th and Quebec go when a high rise hotel targeted towards long term tech workers force them out? Where does our community go when development is no longer supporting us? Community gardens left to rot in silence as developers grasp for tax breaks, units in central locations bought overseas as passive income sit empty, detours making every sidewalk unusable. I walk along Broadway alone.
