FAQs

We followed the Council-approved Active Transportation Network Plan guiding principles of comfortable, complete and connected to design these two projects. 

• COMFORTABLE: Use an All Ages and Abilities (AAA) design to make it easy and safe for everyone to get around, year round. This means we focused on safety, providing protected bike lanes physically separated from vehicle traffic on busy streets and shared local street bikeways on streets with low traffic volumes and vehicle speeds.   
• COMPLETE: A complete network that places all residents within a short walking, rolling, or cycling distance. This means, ultimately, all residents will be within 400 metres of an active transportation corridor, depending on local topography and other conditions.
• CONNECTED: A network that connects to all neighbourhoods and major destinations. This means the network considers connections to schools, parks, commercial areas, facilities, hospitals, multi-modal connections (SkyTrain, Q2Q Ferry) and regional and adjacent community cycling facilities.

Quick build designs are fast to construct, easy to change, and less expensive than permanent, conventional builds. That means we can get them in place quicker and save money at the same time!
