  • Long-Term Sidewalk Expansion: $40-50M*
  • Short-Term Priorities (<5 year):

a. Implement approximately 4 to 6 km of new sidewalks at existing levels of funding ($500,000/ yr). b. Encourage additional new sidewalks to be constructed through redevelopment. c. Consider additional dedicated funding for:

  • Enhanced street treatments
  • Safety and accessibility improvements (ie crosswalks, curb letdowns)
  • Support programs (ie Safe Routes to School)

Implementation Plan – Walking

* Costs in 2018 dollars

Implementation Strategy

  • Re-alignment of the

Routes 1, 2 and 3 in year 1

  • Opening of new transit

centre

  • First phase of

expansion to improve service reliability, improve service on key corridors

  • Introduction of

Highstreet Transit hub

  • Bourquin Exchange

phased out

  • Expand capacity at UFV
  • Downtown hub gets

significant on-street enhancements

  • New transit hub

introduced at Whatcom with associated service changes

  • Increased connectivity at

Highstreet hub

  • Continued service

reliability improvements, investments in core transit network, possible expansions to new service areas

  • Improve service

reliability and continue to invest in the frequent transit routes

  • Identify and develop a

more comprehensive plan for the Rapid Transit Corridor and the associated service integration

  • Consider opportunities

for LRT over long-term

Implementation Plan - Transit

Long-Term: $10M* Short-Term

  • No additional resources in Y

ear 1 with focus on realigning existing routes

  • Increased operating funding over short-term
  • Continue to increase service hours and funding over the medium- and long-

term

  • Shelters and accessibility improvements (2 bus stops per year)
