West End commercial streets
We are exploring transportation and public space changes as part of our commitment to deliver on the West End Community Plan. Potential changes aim to improve walkability, strengthen public life and support local businesses.
The West End commercial streets are vibrant centres for locals and visitors to shop, work and play. In line with the Community Plan, we are directing investment towards these commercial streets, to support them as distinctive destinations.
Visit our interactive webpage to find out more about these and other transportation and public space priorities.

We want to hear your feedback on how Robson Village could adapt in the years to come. We are aiming to open up engagement around this later in 2023.
Other planning projects in the coming years will explore potential changes in Denman Village.

Simple Sophistication
Adding an Aqua Bus stop at, located near the Inukshuk at 1700 Beach Ave in Vancouver, would be a great way to reduce vehicle congestion, improve accessibility, and enhance the surrounding landscape. This alternative mode of transportation would provide visitors and locals with an eco-friendly and efficient way to access the park and its stunning views of English Bay, while also promoting sustainability in the area. Overall, this would be a fantastic addition to the Vancouver cityscape.

West End Needs a Major Rework
I’ve lived in the WE for 10 years. This neighborhood has so much potential but the filthy sidewalks, lack of good restaurants, and terrible traffic engineering have made the neighborhood unappealing.

Please get the scooters and bikes off the sidewalk. There's no enforcement!

Close more streets to vehicle traffic completely

More pedestrian space
Pedestrian-only streets (not just sidewalks) would be great, with some cafes and small shops. Cleanup on Granville street. Upgrade / redesign some brutalist architecture buildings from 1970s to make them more appealing to the eye. Planting more BC native plants to support the local ecosystem.
