  • Share I cycle back and forth from Richmond to Vancouver. The best north south path is along Garden City, which is surprisingly good compared to a lot of Vancouver roads due to the lack of street parking, but could still be improved. 2 sections where I worry about being hit by cars consistently: The curve along the Garden City to Granville. The bushes limit sight lines and force me to get closer to the cars, but there are only flexiposts. The bushes are an extreme danger in my eyes and aren’t maintained often enough. The best solution maybe to cut them away so that cyclists and pedestrians have more room separated from cars, or add curved barriers. Southbound on Garden city at the Alderbridge intersection, across from the Walmart plaza. The bike lane is sandwiched between 2 car lanes, too narrow, and drivers understandably get aggressive at that intersection during busy times. I personally believe that Richmond has the opportunity to be a far greater city than Vancouver when it comes to effective cycling paths that take people from A to B for a few reasons: - We could have the only full cycling loop path around the whole city, huge tourist and cycling destination potential, but the dyke paths are too disconnected. - We don’t have street parking on major roads meaning that even our painted bike paths are much more comfortable than Vancouver’s. Vancouvers shortcoming is their insistence on street parking. - Flat land means that cycling in Richmond is far more accessible than in Vancouver due to the big elevation increase near the middle of the city by King Edward station. I’d like to see Richmond build the network out further, connect all key destinations in the city with high quality paths, and go even further to make it a nationwide cycling destination and generate revenues. on Facebook Share I cycle back and forth from Richmond to Vancouver.

    Thank you for your inquiry and for sharing your experience with cycling in Richmond. 

    As part of the City’s updated cycling network plan that was approved by Council in 2022, staff are studying a number of intersections and working to implement changes each year based on a prioritized list developed through public consultation and stakeholder engagement. Included in the 15 year implementation plan is the intersection at Granville Avenue and Garden City Road and the intersection at Alderbridge Way and Garden City Road. Specifically for Alderbridge Way and Garden City Road, the channelized right turn lanes on the west side of Garden City Road are planned to be removed to improve safety for cyclists and other road users. Staff appreciate the feedback and look forward to the above changes as well as other future enhancements to come through development to make Richmond a great place to walk, cycle, and roll.

    When is No 6 road going to be resurfaced?

    pioneer asked 6 months ago

    Thank you for your question. 

    Weather permitting, No. 6 Road (from Cambie Road to Bridgeport Road) is scheduled to be re-paved from Monday, May 27th to Friday, May 31st, with weekend hours being considered if work is disrupted by weather and other potential variables.

  • Share Is it possible to get more cycling protection and connection between the River road cycling path (from Terra Nova to Capstan Way) and towards River Rock Casino? Right now there's really no safe passage along the major stroads. Sea Island Way is a major traffic nightmare and so is Garden City Road between Great Canadian Way and Sea Island Way. Hope City Staff can provide safer and and more accessible connectivity along two major routes. on Facebook Share Is it possible to get more cycling protection and connection between the River road cycling path (from Terra Nova to Capstan Way) and towards River Rock Casino?

    Thank you for the question. 

    Through the City’s Updated Cycling Network Implementation Plan that was approved in 2022, staff are working on enhancing sections of River Road and the dike trails that connect west Richmond to the City Centre. A list of prioritized projects that have been identified through public consultation will be implemented over the next 15 years to expand the cycling and active transportation network in the city. Sections of River Road west of Gilbert Road and connections to Capstan Way/Bridgeport Area are being developed in the next few years. For more information please visit the following link.

    What is happening to steveston hwy between no 2 road and railway?

    Neil Collins asked 7 months ago

    Thank you for your question.
    This project includes a 3.0m wide paved multi-use pathway along the south side of Steveston Highway between No. 2 Road and Railway Avenue and will include the installation of new curbing and boulevard space to provide physical separation between traffic and path users. Street and path lighting upgrades will be installed and a landscaped boulevard will be included where feasible. The project is anticipated to start construction at the end of 2024 and be completed in 2025.
