In summer 2022, we began critical upgrades to water, sewer, and street infrastructure along West King Edward Avenue from Arbutus Street to Dunbar Street. We are also adding green rainwater infrastructure.
Our work includes installing 1.5 kilometres of new water main and a replacement of the existing combined sewer with a separated and larger capacity system with one pipe for rainwater runoff and a second pipe for sanitary sewer. This new water and sewer infrastructure will have a life expectancy of 100 years.
A bike lane is planned for installation on West King Edward Street between Quesnel Drive and Dunbar Street.
What's happeningConstruction underway until spring 2025
West King Edward Avenue impacts
Water and sewer main upgrades, road widening, and paving work on West King Edward Avenue, between Quesnel Drive and Dunbar Street, is now complete.
Green rainwater infrastructure installation and planting on the medians of West King Edward Avenue will be completed in early 2025.
January 2025: Update on bike lane and parking
Based on what we heard from community members, we have adjusted the design of the planned bike lane between Quesnel Drive and Dunbar Street. The existing vehicle parking lane will remain next to the curb, with a painted bike lane next to the travel lane.
Bike lane painting will resume in spring 2025, when weather permits.
Arbutus Greenway impacts
Intersection improvements at Arbutus Greenway and West King Edward Avenue are underway, and are scheduled to be complete by spring 2025. Learn more about the key improvements in progress PDF file (1.3 MB)
