The latest engagement period for this project has ended.
The City of Vancouver began work on the Westside Bike Mobility Project in May 2018. The goal of the project is to establish a multimodal network of north-south Complete Streets to serve the west side of Vancouver (neighborhoods and business districts located west of Interstate 5).
Starting August 2019, the City engaged west side neighborhoods and businesses in examining individual potential Complete Street corridors and identifying a set of improvements that will increase safety and enhance mobility for all users. This phase of the project focused specifically on Columbia, Washington, Daniels and Franklin streets.
The City formed a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) that considered the benefits and tradeoffs of different options, including safety, accessibility, mobility, neighborhood livability and parking. Along with feedback from broader public outreach activities and events in January and February 2020, the CAC helped shape a recommendation to Vancouver City Council about the project.
At the City Council meeting on February 24, 2020, City Council directed staff to implement protected bike lanes and other multimodal improvements on Columbia Street in conjunction with planned repaving projects in 2020 and 2021. At the May 4, 2020, Vancouver City Council meeting, Council postponed repaving on Columbia from 2020 - 2021 to 2021 - 2022, due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic on the City’s 2020 Pavement Management Program budget. Funding for the City’s Pavement Management Program has been restored for 2021; therefore, to maximize efficiencies in costs and construction management, pavement work and mobility project implementation for the full Columbia Street corridor are now scheduled for 2021. Please review this memo from January 2021 for more information on the pavement work and mobility project implementation. Staff will be conducting additional public outreach in advance of the repaving. Please sign up at www.cityofvancouver.us/BikeMobility to receive email newsletters to stay up to date as the project progresses.
Thank you to the community members who have participated in Westside Bike Mobility Project events and activities! Feedback received is included in the Phase III Public Outreach Summary.

Project Goals
PROJECT GOALS
GOAL 1: Contribute to the
development of a network of safe, accessible and convenient travel
options that help manage demand on the City’s transportation system and
downtown parking resources to accommodate ongoing population growth and
continued economic development.
GOAL 2: Engage the community in a
collaborative process to identify a package of improvements that together enhance safety, mobility and
accessibility for all residents regardless of how they choose to travel—including
people walking, biking, driving and riding transit.
GOAL 3: Implement improvements that increase safety for all users, enhance access to community destinations like the Waterfront
and the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail and improve options for moving around
the community.
