We are addressing traffic issues on local streets in the Marpole area. We will do this by implementing one-way streets and turn restrictions to discourage vehicle shortcutting to access the Oak Street Bridge.
The measures will use durable interim materials, like concrete blocks, and provide a longer-term solution to the area's traffic management challenges. This fall, once the measures are in place and traffic has normalized, we will be collecting community feedback as well as traffic data.
What's happeningTraffic calming installation begins July 2025
In 2024, we completed the Oak Street Sewer Separation Upgrades Project, which increased vehicle shortcutting issues in the Marpole neighbourhood. To address concerns during construction, we implemented temporary one-way street measures. These measures were removed in December 2024 following completion of this project.
When the Oak St construction was completed, we received a number of comments from residents interested in keeping the traffic calming measures longer-term and concerns that they were removed. We will be reinstating the measures in July 2025 on seven streets in the Marpole area based on this feedback and ongoing concerns about shortcutting traffic.
