We have a new Vision, Themes and Goals for Transportation in Burnaby!
Much has changed in the City and the Region since the current Burnaby Transportation Plan was adopted by Council in 1995. The City has evolved from a predominantly suburban community into a significant urban centre that is socially, economically and culturally diverse. Shifts in the use of technology, as well as issues of affordability, and increased concern regarding the environment are changing the way people travel in the City and the Region.
We have begun to update the Transportation Plan. During Phase 1 consultation, we talked to almost 2,000 people and received an additional 1,000 written comments related to the draft vision, themes and goals, and other transportation issues. More information about Phase 1 consultation is available in the Public Consultation Summary Report.
We have a new vision, themes and goals around which we will draft multi-modal transportation networks, form policies and implement actions for transportation in the City of Burnaby. Please visit our webpage for more information.
