Cyclists riding along Ontario Greenway

Ontario Greenway

Where is the Ontario Greenway?

The Ontario Greenway runs along Ontario St, following the popular bikeway that links False Creek to 59th Ave, with future plans to extend to the Fraser River.

It connects parks, schools, and community centres along the route.

The Ontario Greenway is a scenic walking and cycling connection featuring raised crosswalks, traffic circles, speed humps, and landscaped corner bulges to calm traffic.

Schools along the route have participated in the development of the greenway by helping plan demonstration gardens.

The street gardens at Ontario St and 27th Ave East have been planted with native species to compliment the outdoor classroom at General Wolfe Elementary School.

The children’s artwork of butterflies and bugs has been etched into rocks that form part of the design.
