Should King Albert Avenue Get Protected Bike Lanes and Better Sidewalks?
Official title: King Albert Avenue Active Transportation Improvements
Coquitlam wants to finish a walking and cycling route along King Albert Avenue, connecting Blue Mountain Park to Mundy Park. Right now, this stretch lacks continuous sidewalks and safe spaces for bikes and scooters. The city is asking residents what they think before construction starts in 2026.
Why This Matters
Walk or bike along King Albert Avenue? This project could give you a safer, more comfortable route. Live on the street? Your parking and driveway access might change. Parents sending kids to Centennial Secondary will want to weigh in on crossing safety.
What Could Change
A multi-use pathway would be built connecting existing bike infrastructure to Mundy Park. New crossings and better lighting would be added. On-street parking may be reduced in some areas to make room for the pathway.
Key Issues
- What type of pathway design would make residents feel safe walking and cycling?
- How should on-street parking be balanced with space for bikes and pedestrians?
- Where are the most important crossing improvements needed?
