Apparently there's going to be a giant wooden clam erected over Robson Square, just in time for the Olympics.
In fact, the clam is expected to arch over Robson Street itself, from the Vancouver Art Gallery over to the Robson Steet waterfall, according to this article from the Vancouver Sun.
The piece goes on to claim that Arthur Erickson is 'ambivalent' about the project, while Bing Thom thinks it may not be 'architecturally appropriate'.
Furthermore, the Clam is apparently 'bigger than most people realize, and will radically change the nature of Vancouver's main square.'
Not many people have seen the design plans for this Giant Wooden Clam though, so it's hard to judge whether this thing will fly with the public.
Estimated cost of this cockamamie scheme - $87 million.
