City Greenways

The proposed City Greenways network of sixteen routes will be approximately 140 km long when complete. As a result of the legacy of the Seawall portion of the Seaside Route, 30% of the network was already in place before construction of the first route began. Street rights-of-way will make up approximately 50% of the network.

While Greenways are generally evenly distributed throughout the City, routes are concentrated in areas with greater population density and a higher number of destinations, such as the downtown peninsula. When the network is complete, a City Greenway will be no more than a 25-minute walk or a 10-minute bike ride from every residence in Vancouver.

Goals of a City Greenway are:

• Make walking more interesting
• Make cycling safer and more convenient
• Reduce the impact of the car
• Make the Greenway ‘greener’
• Use public art to make the Greenway more interesting
