Seventh Avenue West Corridor

Project Update, July 2025:

Construction of this route is underway! For construction information and updates, visit this page on the City's main website.

Improvements to Seventh Avenue are planned between 10th Street and the existing BC Parkway between 21st and 22nd streets. 

This 2.6 km corridor provides access to Moody Park, Lord Kelvin Elementary School, shops and services on 12th Street, Grimston Park, 22nd Street SkyTrain Station, and the BC Parkway. The corridor also connects to the Queensborough Bridge and the pedestrian and cycling overpass across Stewardson Way and is part of TransLink’s Major Bikeway Network.

The proposed improvements for this corridor will build on the existing measures to slow down traffic and make it safer and more comfortable for people of all ages and abilities to walk and cycle.
