35 General comments: Asset Mapping

36 Key Messages: Walking Arterials suffer from high volume, high speed traffic, congestion, noise and pollution making for an unpleasant walking environment Strong interest in slowing traffic on all major arterials and improving walking experience (wider sidewalks, parking restrictions, speed, etc.) Improve east-west pedestrian connections across all major arterials Improve linkages between Granville shopping street, Marine Dr. Canada Line Station, along and across SW Marine Dr, and walking/cycling along Fraser River. Safety issues at most major intersections Improve key walking routes (e.g. lighting, crossings)

37 Key Messages: Cycling W 67 th good cycling route Add more bike routes and greenways (e.g. to and along Fraser River, and east-west to Granville Street and the Canada Line station) Add more cycling crossings Better connection over Arthur Laing bridge Bike route along Arbutus Corridor

38 Key Messages: Transit Rapid bus on Granville to downtown Poor east-west transit connections between Granville commercial area and residential areas Improve transit connection between Granville St. and Marine Drive Canada Line station (great asset but difficult to get there) Extend hours for buses so they run until last SkyTrain Improve bus loops to Hudson and SW Marine Drive, and Granville and W 63 rd Ave.

39 Key Messages: Vehicles Arterials suffer from high volume, high speed traffic & congestion concern about safety and enforcement of speed limits Several intersections need improvement Cambie and SW Marine W 70 th and SW Marine W 70 th and Oak W 73rd and Hudson Desire to see rush hour regulations removed on Oak and Granville to create buffer between pedestrians and cars Traffic calm Heather and area between Granville and Oak Concern about turning restrictions (e.g. right turns onto Oak Street)

40 Transportation & Land Use Strong connection between Transportation & Land Use We can use land use to: support shorter trips and sustainable transportation choices help achieve better pedestrian infrastructure New development brings opportunity and $ for transportation improvements
