Broadway Plan

This is the start of a comprehensive planning and engagement process for the area of Broadway between Clark Drive and Vine Street.

Our goal is to support growth while maximizing the opportunities associated with the new rapid transit connection to the region.

We are launching a two-year process to create a comprehensive Broadway area plan. Through the process, there will be ongoing opportunities to share your thoughts.

The 30-year plan will focus on opportunities to integrate new housing, jobs, and amenities around the new Broadway Subway.

The plan will address the need for:

Increased job space
Deepening housing affordability
Minimizing displacement of existing tenants
New or improved connections
Improved parks and public spaces
New and renewed public amenities

Area profile

The Broadway Plan area (from Clark Dr to Vine St) is a diverse employment and residential mix that includes established neighbourhoods such as Kitsilano, Fairview, Mt. Pleasant, and the False Creek Flats.
