We’re working to improve cycling connections between two of Vancouver’s most popular walking and cycling routes: the Arbutus Greenway and the Seaside Greenway (Seawall).
The Arbutus Greenway is an 8.8-kilometre active travel route stretching from near Fir St and W 6th Ave in the north to the Fraser River in the south. The greenway provides a safe and comfortable cycling route for people of all ages and abilities (AAA).
The Seaside Greenway (Seawall) is a 28-kilometre route along Vancouver’s coastline. Most of the route has dedicated bike lanes that are separate from cars, making it an attractive route for walking, biking and rolling.
What's happeningWhat we heard
This past spring, we asked the community for feedback on the updated design of the Pine Street Link, a proposed connection between the Arbutus and Seaside greenways that would improve walking, biking, and rolling.
