The Arbutus Greenway will be a defining element of Vancouver's urban landscape as a vibrant and beautiful public space for walking, cycling, and streetcar.

Objectives

Throughout the planning process, the City Council will keep citizens informed, listen to public aspirations and concerns, and provide feedback on how public input influenced design options.

 

Participants

Since 2016, there have been more than 25 events and had more than 5,000 participant interactions.

Description

The Arbutus Greenway is a north-south transportation corridor that will connect people, parks, and places from False Creek to the Fraser River. In 2016, the City purchased the land from Canadian Pacific Railway for the purpose of creating a high-quality public space for walking, cycling, and future streetcar.

Opportunities to get involved

 The planning process has included many opportunities for residents, community members, and stakeholders to offer feedback and ideas. Since 2016, we’ve held more than 25 events and had more than 5,000 participant interactions. The purpose of this round of engagement is to seek public input on the proposed design for the future greenway and north/south greenway connections.
