Temporary bike path on Arbutus Street

As part of our Room to Move initiative, a temporary two-way bike path was installed on Arbutus Street (between McNicoll Avenue and Kitsilano Beach Park’s southern parking lot adjacent to Cornwall) in August.

About the project

This project will:

  • Establish a safer and more comfortable separated cycling path that connects Balsam St to Ogden Ave across the park for all users, including children, families, and people with reduced mobility
  • Improve entryways into the park

We are aware of the challenges associated with the bike and pedestrian routes in this area and will work with the public and stakeholders to find solutions that work for everyone.
