City Councillors discuss the fate of Varsity Ridge Bowling Centre

An advocate for the Varsity Ridge Bowling Centre on Vancouver’s west side, says he’s supportive of a motion going before City Council Tuesday, if the ridge cannot be saved from demolition.

Councilor Adriane Carr is calling for staff to work with the park board in considering options for the city to provide a bowling centre on the west side.

Mel Lehan says the first priority is to save the existing alley, but “failing that, our second priority would be to have another bowling alley built in the new development, but if for some reason, we fail both of that, then we appreciate a motion like Councilor Carr’s.”

Cressey Development is hoping to put a mix of retail and condos on the site at Arbutus and West 15th Avenue.
