POINT GREY - CORNWALL CORRIDOR

The Point Grey Road - Cornwall Avenue Corridor Project aims to create a safe, convenient and comfortable connection for pedestrians and cyclists between Burrard Bridge and Jericho Beach.

The Transportation 2040 Plan was adopted by Vancouver City Council in October 2012. Walking and cycling were identifi ed as the highest transportation priorities. The Point Grey Road - Cornwall Ave Corridor was also identifi ed as a priority route for people of all ages and abilities.

We are currently in the early stages of this project, collecting and analyzing transportation data, and collecting input from you.

We want to hear from you!Please take a few moments to review the information boards and give us your feedback.

All the information you see tonight is available on the website: vancouver.ca/pointgreycornwall

Project Overview

Project Goals

Given the complexity of this area, staff will undertake a rigorous analysis, consider alternative routes that meet project goals, and consult with residents, businesses and other stakeholders. Once staff have a recommended design, we will have a second round of public consultation to get further feedback before a design goes to Council for a decision.

Two-thirds of all trips on foot, bike, and transit by 2040

Pedestrians continue to be the City’s top transportation priority

Vancouver’s Transportation 2040 goals

Eliminate all fatalities from the transportation system

Encourage people of all ages and abilities to get around their city through active transportation (such as walking, cycling, running, inline-skating, wheelchairs, strollers, etc.) in a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable way.

Create a walking and cycling route that is safe, convenient, and comfortable for people of all ages and abilities.

Address existing safety issues along Point Grey Road and Cornwall Avenue by reducing the volume and speed of motor vehicle traffi c.

Make the intersection of Burrard Street and Cornwall Avenue safer and more direct for pedestrians and cyclists.

The Point Grey Road - Cornwall Avenue Corridor Project, when complete, will link Downtown to Kitsilano and Point Grey and aims to create a safe, convenient and comfortable connection for pedestrians and cyclists between Burrard Bridge and Jericho Beach.

I’d cycle more but i’m worried about being hit

Vehicles are speeding

I would suggest removing parking

we have witnessed too many accidents

we would not be supportive

of removing any parking

2012 Transportation Plan (1997)Walking and cycling are identifi ed as the City’s two highest transportation priorities.

Transportation 2040Supports a network of walking and cycling routes that feel safe, convenient, comfortable and fun for people of all ages and abilities.

Public Meetings: • Residents, children/youth, seniors• Businesses• Stakeholders• Users of the corridor• Website and survey

Using input from the fi rst round of public consultation, staff will present a recommended design through a second round of consultation for further feedback and refi nement.

The project team will report the feedback to Council.

City staff will carry out further analysis to develop the Point Grey Road - Cornwall Ave Corridor. Key areas:

• Transportation 2040 Plan • Emergency access• Parking and circulation• Traffi c counts and speed data• ICBC data• Business customer surveys

City staff will report to Council on what was heard from the community and provide a recommendation to approve a design and funding needed to proceed with construction.

Council will decide how the project will proceed.

Timeline

Project Timeline

January 2013



Cycling in traffi c is uncomfortable for most as well as potentially dangerous

Riding on quiet local streets or separated from traffi c is preferred by most

Walking

Cycling

Ample, even sidewalks make walking much more pleasant and attractiveWalking on narrow sidewalks with obstructions is challenging,

particularly for seniors
