Project overview and process

January to March 2013

City staff held three public open houses in late January/early February 2013 and have carried out further analysis to develop the Point Grey Road - Cornwall Ave Corridor in the following key areas:

• Transportation 2040 Plan
• Emergency access
• Parking and circulation
• Traffic counts
• ICBC data
• Business customer surveys

April 2013

Using the existing policy context, project goals, data analysis, technical transportation considerations and input from the first phase of public consultation, staff are developing feasible design options and trade-offs for each option. Staff are also reviewing how any potential impacts to local residents and businesses could be managed.

May 2013

Staff will meet with stakeholders to discuss the development of the project beginning in early May. Staff will host a series of public open houses in late May where they will present design options along with trade-offs and impacts, and gather feedback.   

Summer 2013

City staff will report to Vancouver City Council this summer with a recommended final design and cost estimate based on what was heard through both phases of public consultation, data analysis and technical transportation review.

  Supports a network of walking and cycling routes that feel safe, convenient, comfortable and fun for people of all ages and abilities.

• Transportation Plan (1997)
