Active Transportation Network Plan: Year 1 Routes

What’s happening?

In October 2022, Council approved the Active Transportation Network Plan, initiating a five-year plan to develop a network of active transportation routes to connect major destinations, including neighbourhoods, commercial areas, civic facilities, schools, parks, and routes between different regions.

This network will be user-friendly for people of all ages and abilities and make walking and biking in New Westminster safer, more accessible, and more convenient. It’s an exciting step to building a more accessible, equitable, and sustainable city!


Key Features of the Active Transportation Network Plan

  • Improve and expand the existing all-ages-and-abilities (AAA) active transportation network by providing safer and more comfortable options to travel through New Westminster.
  • Improve the safety and accessibility of walking and cycling routes to other parts of the city and regional destinations.
  • Use quick-build designs (where possible), which are more economical, faster to install and easier to adjust.
  • Supports the City’s Master Transportation Plan goals and Seven Bold Steps for Climate Action.

In 2024, the City is planning to complete detailed plans for five routes identified in the Active Transportation Network Plan. Planning and public engagement for the Boyd Street and Seventh Avenue West corridors were completed earlier this year, and construction for these routes is expected to begin in early 2025. For more information about these corridors, see the “Past Engagement” section below.
