Turtle Place Emerges as a Model of Downtown Beauty and Home-Grown Sustainability
Vancouver, Wash. In the not-too-distant past, it was a transit mall filled with idling buses and clouds of exhaust fumes, populated by people on their way to somewhere else. Yesterday, it was an uninviting slab of concrete.
But soon, thanks to a cooperative effort led by Vancouver's Downtown Association, the former bus stop at downtown Vancouver's Seventh Street, in between Washington and Main Streets, will begin a transformation.
Welcome to Turtle Place, a model of sustainability and a vision of urban beauty
that is being created in this plaza where C-Tran operated a transit center for more than two decades.
