Several potential P2P pilot sites are identified on this map.

Pavement to Parks projects target underused asphalt (side streets, wide intersections, alleys, etc) to provide quick, low-cost, high-impact public space while supporting other transportation goals. NYC DOT

Downtown Public SpacesThe plan will help support a variety of new and expanded public spaces - here are some potential concepts.

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, andopportunities as they arise through other projects.

Rapid Transit Priorities Broadway 41/49 Hastings Commercial/Victoria Main/FraserThe City will work with TransLink to develop solutions for these high-demand corridors.

Broadway is the most advanced of these studies and the City’s top priority.

Motor Vehicles Existing Major Road Network Proposed MRN AdditionsThe streets shown here are particularlyimportant regional connections and require additional consideration before making major changes.

These routes serve as important truck and/or transit routes, or handle a particularly high volume of motor vehicle traffic on relatively limited space.

The Major Road Network (MRN) is co-managed by the City and the region. TransLink provides cost-sharing to maintain and improve MRN streets.

Goods and Services Rail Corridors Key Port Truck Routes Key Local Truck Routes Other Truck Routes

Rail 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.

False Creek can be difficult and unpleasant

to cross by walking or cycling, but motor

vehicle volumes across all three bridges are

declining.

Underused space could be reallocated to improve conditions for

relatively low cost.

What do AAA routes look like? Routes for all ages and abilities don’t always have to be separated!

It depends mostly on motor vehicle volumes and speeds.

Traffic calming to ensure low motor vehicle volumes and speeds may be enough on neighbourhood routes.

Routes on arterials or other streets with lots of cars require physical separation from motor vehicles.

Painted bike lanes on busy streets appeal only to very confident cyclists.

Separated routes on busy streets appeal to people of all ages and abilities

Well-designed traffic calming can make neighbourhood routes feel safer

Neighbourhood routes can feel scary without good design at intersections.
