Portside Greenway

Did you know?

Greenways are car-light to car-free All Ages and Abilities (AAA) (1.7 MB) active transportation corridors, that serve as high-quality continuous public spaces.

We are planning to upgrade and expand the Portside Greenway to create a continuous route from Alexander Street to Boundary Road that prioritizes safe, comfortable walking, biking, and rolling, with great public spaces along the way.

The Portside Greenway has been identified in many plans over the years, including the Greenways Plan (7.4 MB) (1995), Transportation 2040 (2012), and the Vancouver Plan (2022). The project also supports key civic priorities including equity and climate action.

What's happeningPhase 3 Wall Street engagement update

Phase 3 engagement for the Wall Street segment is now complete. The survey is now closed. Review the design concepts proposed during this phase  (44 MB)

We’re reviewing feedback and will share an engagement summary in the coming months. This input will help improve the proposed design and traffic-calming measures in the neighbourhood.

Construction on Wall Street West is expected to start in 2027. Work on Wall Street Central and East is planned for 2028. This timing is based on the City’s budget for 2027 to 2030 and the need to coordinate with sewer upgrades.
