Purpose

This project comprises five separate projects that are an outcome of the Cycling Network Plan (CNP) update, which identified short-term (within next 5 years) priorities to help build a core protected cycling network within or connecting to Richmond’s City Centre. The combined projects will provide a total of 4.0 km of new protected facilities to enhance cycling access in the City Centre. • Sexsmith Road-Brown Road Protected Bike Route: New protected bike lanes on Sexsmith Road and Brown Road to fill in gaps in existing cycling facilities plus upgrade of special crosswalk on Cambie Road at Brown Road to a pedestrian signal in order to establish a continuous north-south route that links Bridgeport and Aberdeen Canada Line Stations, and connects to existing and planned east-west routes. Total length of 1.5 km. • Browngate Road Cycle Tracks: Two-way on-street cycle track protected by a raised median on the south side of Browngate Road between No. 3 Road and Hazelbridge Way. Total length of 0.20 km. • Gilbert Road Protected Bike Route: Southern extension of protected on- and off-street bike paths to connect to Granville Ave protected bike lanes, which is a major east-west corridor through the City Centre. Total length of 1.1 km. • Lansdowne Road MUP: Multi-use pathway (MUP) on the north side of Lansdowne Road between Gilbert Road and Pearson Way that will complete an existing gap in cycling facilities along the corridor. Total length of 0.13 km. • River Road MUP: Multi-use pathway including lighting for pedestrians and cyclists on the south side of River Road between McCallan Road (northern terminus of Railway Greenway) and No. 2 Road (western terminus of Middle Arm Greenway) that will fill in a gap and connect the two major greenways. Total length of 0.85 km.
