11th Avenue/Arbutus Greenway Construction

Starting in late June 2006, City crews will be constructing the greenway on 11th Avenue between Maple Street and 50 m to the west. This is on the site of the current closure. The duration of the street reconstruction work will be approximately 9 weeks, and the landscaping and street lighting work will be completed in the fall of 2006.

The scope of work includes:
1) new curb on the west side of Maple Street at 11th Avenue to formalize the closure;
2) new cul-de-sac at the west end of the closure;
3) new sidewalk at selected locations;
4) new trees and planting areas; and
5) upgrades to the existing street lighting system and installation of new pedestrian lights.

During this period of construction, every effort will be made to minimize the impact of the work. We will try to maintain access to residences and businesses at all times, remove parking and vehicle restrictions as soon as possible and provide updates on the work as appropriate.

Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation during construction. If you have any questions or concerns about the work, please contact Linda Chow at 604.873.7305 or by email at linda.chow@vancouver.ca.
