Active Transportation Network Plan: Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Streets

Project update, September 16, 2025:

The What We Heard Report for Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth streets is now available.

The Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Streets Route will be a 2.5 km connection through the Moody Park, Brow of the Hill, and Downtown neighbourhoods. It will connect London Street in the north to Columbia Street in Downtown New Westminster in the south, using a combination of Eighth Street, Ninth Street, and Tenth Street.

Most of this route is not an existing bikeway. The route is primarily located on local streets with two-way vehicle travel and street parking. However, Eighth Street is classified as a collector street (a street that connects traffic from local streets to busier, major roads) with higher vehicle volumes.

Proposed Active Transportation Changes

Improvements along this route aim to create an active transportation connection that is comfortable for most users, with less traffic, lower vehicle speeds, and traffic separation on busier sections of the route. This will allow people to move comfortably and safely on foot, bicycle, and other non-motorized transportation options.

Active transportation improvements being proposed along this route include:

These proposed improvements are shown on the graphic below.

Your input will be reviewed following the community engagement and will be used to adjust and refine the proposed improvements along the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Streets Route. Updates to the design based on the feedback received will be shared here in the coming months. Final designs are expected to be completed in the Fall, and construction of the new active transportation route is expected to begin in Winter 2025.
