The Vancouver Transportation Plan, adopted in 1997, identified pedestrian, cyclist, and transit modes as the first, second, and third priorities.
Council approves the design of all street widening.
The purpose of this report is seek approval for minor widening of Oak Street for one half block north of 41st Avenue. This project was initiated by a request from BC Transit who identified the northbound curb lane on Oak Street north of 41st Avenue as deficient in width. BC Transit has also requested that the existing southbound to eastbound left-turn bay be widened. They estimate that about five contacts per year are related to the existing substandard width of this lane. The City has identified the need to improve the transit passenger waiting area at this bus stop.
