Also at this location, angle parking will be evaluated as a solution to church generated parking congestion in the neighbourhood. In the 1999 Streets Capital Budget, a program was initiated to build corner bulges at school crossing points to increase the safety of children walking to school. This program is supported by the Police School Patrol officers and the Vancouver School Board. The continuation of this program is planned in the next three year capital plan. The development of greenways will continue with a neighbourhood focus while adding to the city network and local amenities.
Greenways are interesting, pleasant and safe routes though the city for pedestrians and cyclists.
As an alternative to the automobile, they are forming an important part of the transportation network. The 2000 - 2002 Capital Plan will develop a north south greenway and a downtown public way. Ultimately, a network of 14 routes will be developed throughout the city comprising approximately 140 km of City Greenways. Once complete, a City Greenway will be no more than a 25 minute walk or a 10 min bicycle ride from any resident. While SW Marine Drive was the first street to have bike lanes marked and officially designated, other streets are being reviewed for implementation of similar treatment during the 2000 to 2002 Capital Plan.
