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 happeningPublic engagement for Phase 2 of the Wall Street segment is now closed

We are currently reviewing community feedback from the survey, email, and in-person events and developing an engagement summary that will be ready this spring.

This feedback will help us develop a preferred design for the Wall Street segment that will be presented to the community for refinement in 2025.

Construction is anticipated in 2026 or 2027.
