We're planning to improve active transportation along Smithe Street (Richards Street to Thurlow Street).
The proposed upgrades will:
- Close major gaps in the existing bike network by providing an east-west connection between the West End and Cambie Bridge.
- Create safer intersections for everybody through protected intersections.
- Be delivered using a quick-build approach to minimize impacts.
- Maintain sufficient vehicle capacity for pre-COVID volumes.
