Project Vision

The Arbutus Greenway will be a defining element of Vancouver’s urban landscape as a vibrant and beautiful public space for walking, wheeling, cycling, and streetcar. It will be a destination which fosters both movement and rich social interaction – inspired by nature and the stories of the places it connects.

Excess/Surplus Lands • Excess Lands are any portion of
the Arbutus Corridor not needed for walking, wheeling, cycling, or future streetcar (light rail) uses as determined by the City.
