It's always a shame when iconic bits are disrupted by development, but I honestly can't say I care a lot about that cross staying there and I'd be fine with moving it. It's supposed to represent the un-gentrified Vancouver, so it's ironically on-brand to move it to a place that's less gentrified.

I see this icon everywhere but never knew the concept behind it. Now reading about it on Wiki and here, kind of ironic it became so commercial.
