The Stanley Park seawall has finally reopened, almost four months after ultra high tides, extreme winds and a storm surge severely damaged the popular Vancouver walkway.

The Vancouver park board says the 3.5 kilometre stretch of seawall between Second Beach and Lions Gate Bridge was damaged January 7th and reopened today.

The board says lock blocks have been used to prevent further erosion and rebuild parts of the damaged walls along sections where the old structure collapsed.

A statement from the board says stonemasons have been working to rebuild the stone work, crews have added new capstones along with reinforced concrete to strengthen the surface and other sections have been repaved with asphalt to ensure the entire route is accessible to everyone.

Eby stepped down as party leader on Saturday night, taking responsibility for the electoral loss, which saw the NDP lose 19 seats. Three names are reportedly leading the race to replace him: Adrian Dix, Bowinn Ma and Mike Farnworth. Whoever takes over will face the challenge of leading a disappointed and shaken caucus.
