Connecting People - Creating Places

Connecting neighbourhoods: creating a more vibrant and healthy community for all ages and abilities

The Comox-Helmcken Greenway is part of the City Greenway network, connecting Stanley Park to False Creek. The Greenway route was approved by Council as part of the 2002 Downtown Transportation Plan.

Vancouver Greenways are public corridors for pedestrians and cyclists that connect parks, nature reserves, cultural features, historic sites, neighbourhoods and retail areas. Greenways encourage people of all ages and abilities to explore their city by walking or wheeling by bicycle, wheelchair, stroller, skateboard and in-line skates in a comfortable, convenient and interesting way.

Update: Public Consultation

In the fall of 2011, we sought public input on plans for the Comox-Helmcken Greenway through open houses, walking tours (guided and self guided), workshops with youth and seniors, a survey, and community and stakeholder meetings.
What we heard - Phase one consultation summary

It was expected that construction would start in fall 2012, but City staff are doing some further analysis to develop the Comox-Helmcken Greenway concept plan. It is important that we take this time to ensure the design is consistent with the 2002 Downtown Transportation Plan and the emerging directions from the Transportation 2040 Plan, informed by the West End Community Plan currently under development, and reflects input that we have heard from the public and stakeholders through the engagement process. We expect to be able to share a detailed proposed design during a second phase of public consultation in the late summer/early fall of 2012. View project timeline
