Vancouver approves transportation strategy aimed at getting more people out of cars.
VANCOUVER — A long-term strategy designed to improve the way people and goods move around Vancouver was given approval by council Wednesday.
The Transportation 2040 plan, dubbed “bold and aggressive” by Coun. Raymond Louie, outlines more than 180 transportation and land-use concepts aimed at helping the city achieve its goal of converting two-thirds of all trips taken to cycling, walking and public transit.
From pedestrian “scramble” intersections to rerouting heavy truck traffic away from residential neighbourhoods to more bike lanes and smoother, safer sidewalks, the plan looks to reduce our reliance on vehicle traffic.
Among the more ambitious ideas is a proposal to remove the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts to improve neighbourhood connections for both pedestrians and cyclists.
The plan also explores the possibility of using two of eight traffic lanes on Granville Bridge to create a tree-lined pedestrian greenway.
Westbank Projects, in partnership with Ivanhoe Cambridge have applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone Oakridge Centre to develop a 45-storey mixed-use development consisting of 1,430,000 SF of retail, 425,000 SF of office space, 45,000 SF of amenity space, and 2,700,000 SF of residential, with a total density of 3.54 FSR. The proposal includes 2,818 units with a maximum height of 412 ft., and 6,694 parking spaces. Henriquez Partners is the Architect for the project.
The proposed rezoning has been in the works since 2007 when the Oakridge Policy Statement was adopted. More recently, Westbank has been brought on and a planning program was developed in 2012 to help guide the rezoning process.

“Cressey Development Group plans to tear down Ridge Theatre, which has shown movies since 1950, and the neighbouring Varsity Ridge Bowling Lanes. (CBC/Stephanie Mercier)Plans to demolish the Varsity Ridge Bowling lanes and the Ridge Theatre to build a new four-story condominium development were approved by the City of Vancouver’s development permit board on Monday night.
Community members had rallied to save the bowling lanes near the corner of 16th Avenue and Arbutus Street in recent weeks, saying they were a valuable community facility. About 700 people use the lanes as league bowlers they say.
But Brian Jackson, the general manager of planning and development, said the board does not have the authority to order Cressey Developments to include a bowling alley in its development.”
