Explore how public transit and public space can work together in Vancouver’s trendiest neighbourhoods to support an ever-growing city. Every year, bus operating costs in Metro Vancouver rise by over $2 million due to increasing traffic congestion. Many of the most-delayed corridors include retail areas, where parking, deliveries, and pedestrian activity all compete for limited street space. But speeding buses up doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game. This tour showcases a collection of bus priority measures in Vancouver that delivered improvements to the public realm. It features iterations of quick-build and interim infrastructure and how they are being upgraded to a permanent standard.
