Vancouver sidewalks and streets have many fixtures and amenities that keep our city tidy, accessible, and vibrant.
Street fixtures and amenities are furnishings that just seem to fit in on our City streets and sidewalks. These fixtures provide a function, like seating, waste management, and storage.
Our street fixture help keep Vancouver tidier, and add convenience for everyone.
We've installed automated public toilets in the downtown area. They are automatically cleaned and sanitized after each use, and are available to the public 24 hours a day for free.
There is an attendant at the locations keeping them stocked and cleaned. Additional maintenance and cleaning requests can be reported to the site attendant or by calling 604-312-4212 or emailing sharonlee.white@yahoo.com.
Local business associations, non-profit groups, charitable organizations, and special events organizations can install banners and flags on City streets.
Easily find your way around town using over 200 map stands placed throughout Vancouver.
Our wayfinding map stands help you locate nearby attractions, amenities, drinking fountains, public toilets, public transit connections, and accessibility aids.
We install waste bins and zero waste stations that coordinate with diverse streetscapes, suit the needs of neighbourhoods, and promote waste diversion.
Our program is designed to:
Place waste bins at high-traffic transit stops, retail and entertainment areas, and parks
We issue contracts to suppliers who provide environmentally-friendly street fixtures, or share the cost of installing and maintaining them.
For example: OUTFRONT Media / JCDecaux supplies and maintains street furniture in Vancouver in exchange for the rights to the transit shelter advertising program.
