Should King Albert Avenue Get Protected Bike Lanes and Wider 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. The city has already built three phases since 2013. Now they're planning the final stretch and want to hear from residents before construction in 2026.
Why This Matters
Walk, bike, or scoot along King Albert Avenue? This project could make your commute safer and more comfortable. Live on the corridor? The design will affect parking, traffic, and your street's look. Parents sending kids to Centennial Secondary might appreciate separated paths away from cars.
What Could Change
A new multi-use pathway would connect Hillcrest Street to Mundy Park. That means separated space for bikes and scooters, improved crossings, and better lighting. On-street parking may be reorganized. The city aims for 50% of trips by sustainable transport by 2050.
Key Issues
- What design features would make the corridor safe and comfortable for walking and cycling?
- How should the project balance active transportation with resident needs like parking?
- What improvements would best connect schools, parks, and transit along the route?
