At the top of the list is the iconic art deco Burrard Bridge, completed in 1932, which has earned a spot on the list for the past six years because the city is pushing to overhaul its look with outer bike lanes, known as outriggers. It's akin to placing a stainless steel hula-hoop over your grandmother's ball gown, Heritage Vancouver notes dryly.
Second on the list are about 40 to 60 of the city's historic public schools, which continue to be threatened with demolition as part of a seismic upgrading program. Downtown's Robson Square Complex, which is 30 years old and an internationally recognized architectural landmark, is third on the list because of the province's proposal to cover it over with wood laminate for use as a public meeting place.
