We are investing in projects that encourage residents to get out of their cars and choose an active mode of transportation through walking, cycling or rolling. We also take pedestrian safety concerns seriously and are making improvements through a combination of enforcement, education and infrastructure solutions.
Projects we are building to improve connectivity, access and safety for residents include: sidewalks, enhanced crosswalks, pedestrian-activated signals, streetlights and transit stop improvements (shelters, benches, wheelchair/pedestrian landing areas). These projects are in addition to the City’s other investments in active transportation through its extensive trail and pathway network, cycling and multi-use paths, and traffic calming program to address speeding concerns.
Roads must be shared between vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. When designing Port Coquitlam’s road network, the City must consider their competing needs for access, flow and safety. Like most cities, Port Coquitlam complies with engineering design guidelines from the Transportation Association of Canada.
