Cambie Corridor Planning Program

On May 9, 2011, Council approved the Cambie Corridor Plan. The Cambie Corridor Plan includes policies for strategic sites along the Corridor and includes a coordinated strategy for the entire corridor (i.e., public benefits/ amenity strategy, servicing strategy, transportation plan).

Opening of the Canada Line

The Canada Line opened on August 17, 2009. It is a 19 kilometre rapid transit system that links Vancouver with central Richmond and the Vancouver International Airport. The line also connects with existing rapid transit lines in downtown Vancouver and other east-west transit services across the City. It is a large-scale infrastructure project that is anticipated and expected to be a catalyst for development and change in the areas that it services.

To take advantage of this transit investment, the City has embarked on a major planning initiative to develop a land use policy plan for the Cambie Corridor between 16th Avenue and the Fraser River. The plan will focus on opportunities to integrate development with transit along and around the Canada Line to support the City’s goals of environmental sustainability, livability and affordability. The plan will also emphasize walking and cycling trips, especially those integrated with transit.

Cambie Corridor Study Area

The geographic scope of the Cambie Corridor is centred along Cambie Street from 16th Avenue in the north to the Fraser River in the south. The corridor includes portions of the Marpole, Oakridge, South Cambie, and Riley Park communities.

Four new Canada Line Station (King Edward, Oakridge - 41st Avenue, Langara - 49th Avenue and Marine Drive) and two future station locations (33rd Avenue and 57th Avenue) are located within the study area.
