[CCCNFBW] City of Vancouver Transportation System Plan

[Merribeth Greenberg]

Project Update: Fall 2022

The Transportation System Plan (TSP) is still underway! The City would like
to thank the many community members that have participated in the planning
process so far. As of Fall 2022, the City has developed the *Draft
Transportation
Networks, *which represent the draft recommendations that will guide the
City in refining and prioritizing capital investments. The City has also
drafted strategies under six themes known as “Big Ideas” that will help
meet the goals of the TSP.

The City would like to hear from you! Please visit the Online Open House by
clicking on the button below to learn more and see maps of the *Draft
Transportation Networks*. Comment on the draft networks and "Big Ideas" by
taking the brief survey below. Your feedback will help shape the TSP and
refine strategies and programs as the project moves forward.

The City is committed to an inclusive process. Hard copies and other
accessible materials can be provided as needed. In addition, you can
always request
accommodations(External link)

What's next?

In Fall 2022, the City will be collecting feedback from the community

TSP. Learn how to stay up to date by reading more below!

What is a Transportation System Plan?

A Transportation System Plan will help guide the City's future
transportation system and serves as the update to the City's previous
Transportation System Plan, last updated in 2004. The plan will explore
transportation needs and priorities in partnership with Vancouver
residents, employees, and visitors.

The Transportation System Plan will examine existing travel conditions for
all users of the city's transportation system, including those who drive,
walk, bicycle, ride transit, or deliver freight. The City will also talk to
residents about their transportation priorities, with additional focus on
communities that have been historically under-served by transportation
investments.

Building from these conversations over the coming year, the Transportation
System Plan will identify recommended policies, programs, and projects to guide
the City's transportation future.


What is Vancouver Moves?

The TSP is part of the Vancouver Moves program - a citywide initiative to
increase safety and mobility for all community members regardless of how
they travel. Learn more about the Vancouver Moves portfolio of projects by

Why transportation matters

Vancouver residents depend on the transportation system every day.

Transportation matters because everyone in Vancouver deserves a safe and
reliable transportation system that meets their daily needs. Much has
changed since the City’s current Transportation System Plan was adopted in
2004. Since 2010, Vancouver has welcomed more than 14,000 new residents and
10,000 new jobs, meaning the transportation system must meet the needs of a
growing community. The transportation system must also adapt to changing
community needs, including impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, while
supporting the city's health and economy.


Learn more about transportation today

On November 12, 2020, the City launched its first Online Open House to
share an overview of the Transportation System Plan*,* information about
the current transportation system, and to give our community an opportunity
to provide feedback to help shape the City's future transportation plans.
