Kits Point transportation changes
What’s happening?
In anticipation of community growth related to the Sen̓áḵw Development, the City of Vancouver is consulting with the Kitsilano community on proposed street modifications to respond to the development.
Background
Sen̓áḵw is a development project on 10.5-acres of lands under the governance of the Squamish Nation. It is being designed as a car-lite development with an emphasis on transit and active transportation. City of Vancouver land use policies and regulations are not applicable to these lands.
The City and the Squamish Nation have signed a Services Agreement where the City will deliver a range of municipal services to the Sen̓áḵw neighbourhood and the Squamish Nation will pay for these services at the same rates as property owners in Vancouver. The City is responsible for delivering multi-modal transportation and safety upgrades in surrounding neighbourhoods. The package of changes will be delivered in phases, starting in Kits Point, as proactive measures to connect people walking, biking and rolling to key destinations while minimizing traffic impacts on the surrounding area.
Next steps
After this public engagement has concluded, staff will review and analyze feedback from the survey, information session, and emails. Lessons learned and any potential design changes will be shared later this spring.
