Vancouver (Canada): access links integrated into the city

Goal 3.4

Reducing the negative impacts of periods of peak activity in the City Port territory by any means possible.

Challenge(s)

How can the infrastructure within the port city provide safe mobility for local communities and support the sufficiency of the port?

Best Practice

To address traffic congestion, noise complaints, and security tensions, optimising rail and port links can provide unique points of access to the port while improving its economic impact. Through extensive consultation and design adjustments, it is also possible to improve living environments of citizens close to the port and incorporate features like extended footpaths, cycle paths, and noise barriers. The Low Level Road project in Vancouver, led by Stantec, upgraded a vital roadway along the North Vancouver waterfront, enhancing transportation efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability. Completed in 2014 for CAD 101.6M, the project received recognition for its sustainability efforts, providing safe mobility for local communities and supporting port operations effectively.
