Help Shape Coquitlam's Transportation Future to 2050
Official title: Transportation Plan
Coquitlam is updating its Transportation Plan with ambitious goals for 2050: half of all trips by walking, biking, or transit, zero transportation emissions, and zero traffic deaths. The city is currently developing policies for walking networks, bike routes, and road design. Previous phases gathered community input—now they're turning that into concrete plans.
Why This Matters
Live in Coquitlam? This plan decides whether you'll have a sidewalk on your street, safe bike routes to schools, and better transit options. It also affects how much you'll spend on gas and car ownership over the next 25 years. If you've ever felt unsafe crossing a street or wished you could bike to work, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
Every residential street could get a sidewalk on at least one side. A new network of protected bike lanes would connect schools, parks, and transit stations. Speed limits and road designs may change to eliminate serious injuries. The city could also expand e-scooter programs and EV charging infrastructure.
Key Issues
- Where should new sidewalks be built first?
- How should the city design safe bike and scooter routes?
- What road safety changes are needed to achieve zero traffic deaths?
- How can the city encourage more people to use transit, walk, or bike?
