  Background

  In 2019, we asked the Kerrisdale community for suggestions to enhance the Arbutus Greenway and West 41st Avenue intersection as part of the 41st Avenue (R4) Rapid Bus implementation.

  Our design incorporates this feedback, focusing on improved safety, comfort, and transit operations.
