The Vision team is hunkered down, avoiding the media this week, while they figure out what they're going to ditch from the previous administration and launch of their own.

They don't want to get caught, the way the COPE team did six years, getting picked apart as different councillors gave different answers to different media about the same questions.

(Remember that long-ago time? The questions were: Will you get an injunction to move the homeless squatters out of Woodward's? Will you hold a referendum on the Olympics?)

It was all the beginning of the end for them, as headlines kept telling the public the new council was split on major issues.

This time, they've got a raft of old programs -- EcoDensity, Project Civil City -- to decide on, along with expectations that they're going to shake up city hall with some drastic new programs.

So what will happen to EcoDensity, for example?

Those who've studied the entrails of the election results can't help but notice how certain west-side polls showed a strong vote for Gregor Robertson.

In one, the Dunbar area between it looks like 16th and 25th (poll 113), Gregor got 505 votes to Peter Ladner's 537. Another west-side poll, between Oak and Granville, around 25th to 41st, was 357 to 433 for Gregor vs. Peter. Those were two areas that expressed a lot of unhappiness about the EcoDensity plan.

So far, no grand plans to have a blow-up of the name completely and still much pondering about what to do about the details of the plan.

As Councillor Heather Deal says, there are symbolic issues to deal with -- the name and the resentment over what seemed like Mayor Sam Sullivan's branding of it -- and the actual content.

It's unlikely a Vision council will want to back-pedal on things like the recently passed improvements to the building code to encourage green development or the laneway housing. But there are other parts of the plan that will likely get a re-think, especially the provision for mass rezonings that were included in the Charter.

Look for the Vision council to adjust the plan, I think, to put more of an emphasis on affordability and to making communities feel like they have more of a say in what goes on.

And the name? Well, apparently staff have already started referring it it as EcoCity.
