Shaping Growth and Investing in Transit for a Livable Region Metro Vancouver’s Focal Points for Growth and the Current and Future Transit System Regional Planning Committee Map of the Month February 27, 2015

A Bit About this Map*The Future Transit Vision is based on the Highlights map in Regional Transportation Investments: A Vision for Metro Vancouver (2014) completed by the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation; locations are approximate. **Transit Proximity Areaincludes areas that are within 800 metres of rapid transit stations or 400 metres of TransLink’s 2013 Frequent Transit Network, where service runs at least every 15 minutes, in both directions throughout the day and into the evening, every day of theweek.

A Livable Region Depends on a Sustainable Transportation System Metro Vancouver 2040: Shaping our Future, the regional growth strategy, represents the collective vision for how our region is going to accommodate the 1 million people and over 500,000 jobs that are expected to come to the region in the next 25 years. Metro 2040 directs the majority of this growth to a network of 26 Urban Centres and a growing number of Frequent Transit Development Areas located in close proximity to frequent

transportation system which connects people, jobs, and amenities across the region.

The map demonstrates the important relationship between planning for growth and investing in transit. Today, approximately 55% of residents live within in the transit proximity area, which is a 5 to 10 minute walk to the Frequent Transit Network. Increasing

the share of residents in Centres and FTDAs will also increase the share of residents in walking distance to transit, but the transit system and service to support that population must also be in place.

Regional Transportation Investments: A Vision for Metro Vancouver, completed by the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation, and are depicted conceptually on the map in orange. If this vision is achieved, about 70% of the region’s residents will be within walking distance of transit. There is clear alignment between the Mayors’ Council Vision and the compact, complete communities envisioned in Metro 2040. Continued implementation of Metro 2040sustainable transportation system catalysed by the Mayors’ Council Vision.

How Growth Will OccurUrban Centres are established throughout the region and are focal points for growth. Additional growth will be focused in close proximity to frequent transit, and, increasingly to

over time.

Growth in FTDAs will initially occur throughout the corridor around the FTN, and over time will be concentrated in

locations.

Metro 2040 targets 40% of residential growth to the region’s network of 26 Urban Centres. An additional 28% of residential growth is targeted to Frequent Transit Development Areas located in close proximity to transit.

While growth near the transit network will be more compact than in rest of the Urban Containment Boundary, it will not be uniform along the entire network. Population and employment will be densest at major hubs, such as the large

another Centre. Similarly, population and employment will be greater in existing or potential FTDAs and decrease in areas farther away from major transit stations and stops. The region will be made up of a network of compact, transit-oriented complete communities connected by a sustainable transportation system.
