Cambie Village Resident Permit Parking

Cambie Heritage Boulevard
Public Consultation

The Canada Line Community Liaison program is designed to provide residents, businesses and commuters with advance notice and regular project updates, respond to enquiries, monitor construction-related activities and address issues during construction. Community liaison initiatives include:

  • advertisements of traffic advisories and construction schedules;
  • e-mail updates including traffic advisories, construction schedules and milestones;
  • project telephone line with current information about traffic updates and construction schedules;
  • public notices mailed (or e-mailed) to corridor residents and businesses;
  • neighbourhood meetings; and
  • one-on-one meetings with the Community Liaison Officer.

As part of our commitment to communicate effectively with communities along the route, the Canada Line has a Community Liaison Officer dedicated to providing residents and businesses with ongoing project information, while listening and responding to your inquiries and concerns.

If you have any questions or concerns about the Canada Line construction, please call the Community Liaison Officer.

Cambie Village Resident Permit Parking

As the Canada Line construction progreeses, the parking on Cambie Street between 16th and King Edward Avenue will be removed.  After an extensive public process which included residents, businesses, Canada Line, InTransitBC and the City of Vancouver, it was decided that a temporary Resident Permit Parking (RPP) system will be implemented in the Cambie Village Area.  To learn more about this Permit Parking please the City of Vancouver website. 

Cambie Heritage Boulevard 

Our community liaison team has held workshops and stakeholder meetings to understand community perspectives regarding the potential impact of temporary traffic relocation, station construction, and construction of the transition from the tunnel to the bridge.

Protecting and preserving the Cambie Heritage Boulevard is an important part of the Canada Line construction. The line itself will not run immediately below the Boulevard, but will generally run under northbound traffic lanes of Cambie Street from 2nd Avenue to 64th Avenue, thereby avoiding significant and long-term impact to the Boulevard. During construction of the Canada Line, we are committed to:

  • Protecting the Sequoia trees at the north end of Cambie Street;
  • Ensuring no net loss of green-space;
  • Pruning, transplanting or replacing any affected trees; and
  • Working with the City and the local community to preserve and enhance the Cambie Boulevard trees and landscape where possible.
Further community liaison activities have been held to gather community feedback on temporary traffic impacts, including a discussion of the tunnel portal at 64th Avenue.

Public Consultation 

Public consultation with community stakeholders, First Nations and businesses continues to be an important part of the Canada Line project. Public feedback collected in early project consultations played a key role in identifying issues and informing decision-making. We have completed the community consultation on Preliminary Station Design. The consultation invited residents, businesses and other stakeholders to provide input and feedback on issues related to site planning and the functional design of stations in Richmond and Vancouver. A public consultation on detailed design was held in the fall of 2005. This consultation will focus on specific design issues at individual stations and will invite feedback on elements of the architectural design and station site plans.

Consultations regarding the Environment Assessment Certificate took place in September and October of 2005.
