Ms. Renee De St. Croix, Senior Long Range
Planner presented the Committee with an overview of Phase 2 of the Burnaby
Transportation Plan.
The Burnaby Transportation Plan
(Plan) is being undertaken in three phases, commencing in 2017 July
and terminating in 2020 December. Each phase includes research, policy and
plan development, public consultation and reporting.
Phase 1 provided direction for the Plan
and determined the vision, themes, and goals. The Plan is currently
in Phase 2, which will build proposals for the targets, big moves, policies,
and networks. Phase 3, will be undertaken from July 2020 to December 2020 to
confirm a draft Plan, which will include Actions and an Implementation
Strategy.
During Phase 1, six themes were addressed
as the major topic areas:
·
Accessible;
·
Safe;
·
Healthy;
·
Green;
·
Prosperous;
and
·
Connected
Public consultation during Phase 1 engaged
2,000 people and facilitated or participated in 17 public events and 14
stakeholder meetings. The vision, themes and goals set the framework for Phase
2.
Draft Targets, Big Moves, Policies
and Networks will be used as the basis for the Phase 2 Public Consultation
Program. The proposed Targets enable the City to measure and monitor its
progress. Key action items comprise the proposed Big Moves, creating change
and assisting with achieving the Targets. Each major transportation topic
area will include a Big Move. A total of 36 Policies are proposed to provide
direction in conjunction with the major transportation topic areas. The
major transportation topic areas are as follows:
·
Land
use, Public Realm, and Transportation;
·
Walking
and Accessibility;
·
Cycling;
·
Public
Transit;
·
Goods
and Services Movement; and
·
Driving.
Phase 3 is proposed to include the
creation of a series of Actions for each of the 36 proposed Policies from
Phase 2, as well as an Implementation Strategy.
In conclusion, Ms. De St. Croix
advised that a Public Consultation Summary Report will be provided to the
Committee and Council at the close of Phase 2.
The Committee thanked staff for their
presentation and the work that has been completed to date. The Committee requested
that the presentation be provided to Council, in conjunction with the report
on 2020 February 10.
Staff undertook to provide the
presentation.
