We've upgraded Guildford Way from the Port Moody border to Pinetree Way to make walking, biking and rolling more enjoyable while improving road safety.
The active transportation and road safety improvements create more options for people between where they live, work, learn, play, or shop by improving:
- Safety and comfort for those using micromobility (cycling, scooters) for all ages and abilities
- Accessibility for people using wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility aids
- Intersection safety and operations for drivers, micromobility users, and people walking at one of the City’s high-risk crash locations at Pinetree Way and Guildford Way
- This will also help to support the City’s Strategic Transportation Plan 2050 goals of zero serious injuries and fatalities (Vision Zero), zero transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and 50% of all trips by walking, micromobility and transit.
