Granville Bridge, Drake, and Richards (2015-17)
The plan proposes expanding the all ages and
abilities (AAA) network. Early candidates (subject
to public consultation) are shown here.
Priority will be given to critical gaps, areas with
high existing or potential ridership, and
opportunities as they arise through other projects.

Motor VehiclesExisting Major Road Network
Proposed MRN Additions
The streets shown here are particularlyimportant regional connections and requireadditional consideration before making majorchanges.
These routes serve as important truck and/ortransit routes, or handle a particularly highvolume of motor vehicle traffic on relativelylimited space.
The Major Road Network (MRN) is co-managedby the City and the region. TransLink providescost-sharing to maintain and improve MRN
streets.

Key Port Truck Routes
Key Local Truck Routes
Other Truck RoutesRail corridors and port-serving truck routes are
especially important for large-scale, long-
distance goods movement.
Elsewhere, an efficient network of designated
truck routes provides reliability and efficiency
while minimizing impacts on individual streets.

What do AAA routes look like?Routes for all ages and abilities dont always have to be separated!
It depends mostly on motor vehicle volumes and speeds.
Trafc calming to ensure low motor vehicle volumesand speeds may be enough on neighbourhood routes.Routes on arterials or other streets with lots of carsrequire physical separation from motor vehicles.
Painted bike lanes on busy streets appeal only to very
condent cyclists.
Separated routes on busy streets appeal to people of
all ages and abilities
Well-designed trafc calming can make
neighbourhood routes feel safer
Neighbourhood routes can feel scary without good
design at intersections.
