The Broadway Plan is a comprehensive plan to guide growth, positive change, and the delivery of public amenities in the areas around the Broadway Subway.
It is estimated that the Plan will create capacity for up to 64,000 additional residents and 45,000 additional jobs and will be implemented over time, through:
- Development proposals by landowners in the Broadway Plan area
- City-initiated zoning amendments
- Public amenities and infrastructure projects
- Policy additions or amendments as needed
The vision is for the Broadway Plan neighbourhoods to be highly walkable, vibrant, inclusive with distinctive places to live, work, play and learn, connected to the region by the Broadway Subway.
Over the next 30 years, the Broadway Plan (2022) offers significant opportunities to integrate:
- Additional housing and job space
- New shops and services
- Amenities close to high-quality rapid transit
These opportunities will create complete, inclusive, and affordable transit-oriented neighbourhoods.
Broadway study area
The Broadway Plan covers a significant area within Vancouver, bounded by Vine Street to Clark Drive and 1st Avenue to 16th Avenue. This includes parts of the Kitsilano, Fairview, and Mount Pleasant neighbourhoods.
What's happeningLatest update: Zoning changes proposed in some areas of the Broadway Plan
We are proposing to rezone some areas within the Broadway Plan to new low-rise and tower residential district schedules.
These proposed zoning changes will:
- Implement Council-approved policy
- Help streamline the delivery of housing through standardized regulations and a simplified development process

City Council approved updates to the Broadway Plan
In December 2024, City Council approved updates to the Broadway Plan, a 30-year vision for the neighborhoods surrounding the future Broadway Subway line.
The updates were made after:
- A full review of the plan
- Considering recent provincial Transit-Oriented Areas (TOA) laws
- What we've learned from early implementation
- Feedback from the public and stakeholders
Council also approved the Broadway Public Realm and Streetscape Plan and the Civic District Plan, which are important steps in putting the plan into action.
