Portside Greenway

Did you know?

Greenways are car-lite to car-free AAA 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.
