SOUTHWEST COQUITLAM ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Client: City of Coquitlam | Current
Coquitlam is the sixth largest city in British Columbia and one of the 21 member jurisdictions comprising Metro Vancouver. The city offers many transportation options to residents, including a commuter rail connection to downtown Vancouver, a rapid transit connection to the rest of the region, and a robust bus network. As density and development increase across the city, the populace has demonstrated a keen interest in leveraging micromobility solutions for transportation.
In response, the City of Coquitlam is crafting a Micromobility Network to create safe and accessible, multi-modal corridors for people of all ages and abilities who want to walk, bike, scoot, or drive between where they live, work, learn, play, or shop while separating user groups by their speed whenever possible. This project advances the City's goal - 50% of all trips made are made using sustainable modes of transportation by 2050.
In Southwest Coquitlam, active transportation improvement projects were identified to connect essential amenities and destinations such as parks, schools, SkyTrain stations, mixed-use neighbourhoods, employment areas, and other community and recreation centres. These projects are as follows:
-
Nelson Street Active Transportation Route
-
King Albert Avenue Active Transportation Route
-
Smith and Regan Avenue Active Transportation Route
-
Thermal
The City of Coquitlam engaged Uplift Engagement Communications (Uplift) to provide engagement communications services to support all the projects.
Our scope includes working closely with city staff and consultants in preparing Public Engagement and Communications Plans, meeting and event planning and facilitation, content development and design for engagement materials, survey design and analysis, and reporting.
