Downtown Public SpacesThe plan will help support a variety of new and expanded

public spaces - here are some potential concepts.

Robson Square Concept (With Transit) Robson Square Concept (Without Transit)

Opportunity: Yaletown Precedent: Edinburgh

Opportunity: Bute/Robson Precedent: New York City

All opportunity sites and concepts shown are subject to

further study and consultation.

The plan proposes expanding the all ages and

abilities (AAA) network. Early candidates (subject

to public consultation) are shown here.

Priority will be given to critical gaps, areas with

high existing or potential ridership, and

opportunities as they arise through other projects.

The City will work with TransLink to develop

solutions for these high-demand corridors.

Broadway is the most advanced of these

studies and the Citys top priority.

Motor VehiclesExisting Major Road Network

Proposed MRN Additions

The streets shown here are particularlyimportant regional connections and requireadditional consideration before making majorchanges.

These routes serve as important truck and/ortransit routes, or handle a particularly highvolume of motor vehicle traffic on relativelylimited space.

The Major Road Network (MRN) is co-managedby the City and the region. TransLink providescost-sharing to maintain and improve MRN

streets.

Key Port Truck Routes

Key Local Truck Routes

Other Truck RoutesRail corridors and port-serving truck routes are

especially important for large-scale, long-

distance goods movement.

Elsewhere, an efficient network of designated

truck routes provides reliability and efficiency

while minimizing impacts on individual streets.

What do AAA routes look like?Routes for all ages and abilities dont always have to be separated!

It depends mostly on motor vehicle volumes and speeds.

Trafc calming to ensure low motor vehicle volumesand speeds may be enough on neighbourhood routes.Routes on arterials or other streets with lots of carsrequire physical separation from motor vehicles.

Painted bike lanes on busy streets appeal only to very

condent cyclists.

Separated routes on busy streets appeal to people of

all ages and abilities

Well-designed trafc calming can make

neighbourhood routes feel safer

Neighbourhood routes can feel scary without good

design at intersections.
