This project extends along Guildford Way from the Port Moody border to Coquitlam River Park. It will provide improved micromobility/cycling facilities by physically separating users from vehicles and pedestrians.
This project will create more options for people between where they live, work, learn, play, or shop by improving:
This will also help to support the City’s Strategic Transportation Plan 2050 goals of:
Work in the westbound lanes began on Tuesday, July 2 and will be ongoing through the fall. Work will take place weekdays between the hours of 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
During active construction, traffic flow will be impacted. Westbound traffic will be limited to a single lane (with occasional turn restrictions at intersections). The work will be completed in phases starting in the westbound lanes on Guildford Way starting at Johnson Street to Pinetree Way.
Cyclist will be required to share the road with drivers during certain phases of construction. Signage will be in place to direct road users. Please plan an alternate route to avoid delays or plan extra time when using this route.
The project will be completed in three phases and we are currently in Phase 2:
Phase 2 Information Session (May 14, 2024) display boards.
Grant Funding - B.C. Active Transportation Infrastructure Grants Program, and $2.5 million from TransLink’s Municipal Cost Share Programs, approximately 60 per cent of the project will be funded by partners.
Micromobility is more than just bikes – it refers to a range of low- to medium-speed transportation devices that are people or electric powered including bikes, e-scooters and skateboards.
Micromobility is an emerging and important part of transportation options either for standalone trips, or at the beginning or end of transit trips. This is especially true in transit-oriented development areas such as City Centre and Burquitlam-Lougheed.
E-scooters are allowed for use in Coquitlam as part of a provincial pilot project, and e-bikes have the potential to help navigate Coquitlam’s challenging terrain, and provide another sustainable transportation option for residents and visitors.
Continued micromobility integration will be addressed as part of the City’s E-Mobility Strategy, currently in development, along with the update to the Strategic Transportation Plan.
Additionally, continued growth in environmentally friendly modes of travel support the City’s goals around sustainability as outlined in theEnvironmental Sustainability Plan, and economic goals identified in theEconomic Development Strategy ).
