Renaissance Pointe
“Why does this trail just end like this?
Isn’t there something we can do?”– Jeremy R. Brown
If you’ve ever walked the Columbia Shores segment of Vancouver’s Columbia River Renaissance Trail, you have probably asked the same question.
Why does this internationally acclaimed community asset just end abruptly at a neglected, empty lot?
But not many consider the late Sgt Brown’s follow up question.
Isn’t there something we can do?
The short answer to Jeremy’s question is YES, there is something we can do.
Our proposed solution is the Renaissance Pointe beautification project, a grassroots effort to turn this overlooked destination into a safe, attractive spot to turn around or simply pause for a while.
The longer answer is a little more complicated.
Our Renaissance Pointe beautification project requires partnerships between public agencies, local businesses and committed residents to move from vision to reality.
That’s where you come in.
Renaissance Pointe is so much more than a simple beautification project.
This effort honors the spirit of Jeremy’s commitment to our community and was deeply inspired by one of our very favorite Vancouver supporters, the late Jane Jacobsen (who never backed down from a challenge).
Renaissance Pointe presents a unique opportunity to show Vancouver at its best – a caring community that takes pride in its shared spaces.
Please consider a donation to Renaissance Pointe. Your gift will help with costs of design, permitting and the construction of a community asset reflecting Vancouver’s commitment to being the best it can be.
Let’s all work together to make this vision a reality.
