Should Pipeline Road Get a Protected Bike Lane?
Official title: Pipeline Road Active Transportation and Road Safety Improvements
Coquitlam wants to add a two-way protected lane for bikes and scooters along Pipeline Road, from Guildford Way to Lincoln Avenue. The trade-off? Street parking would be removed to make room. The new lane would connect to Glen Elementary School, Glen Park, and Port Coquitlam's bike network.
Why This Matters
Live near Pipeline Road? Your street parking could disappear. But if you bike, scoot, or have kids at Glen Elementary, getting around safely gets easier. The city wants 50% of trips made by walking, biking, or transit by 2050—this is part of that push.
What Could Change
Street parking along Pipeline Road would be removed and replaced with a concrete-separated micromobility lane. New designated parking areas for e-bikes and e-scooters would be added. Intersections at Guildford Way, Glen Drive, Inlet Street, Windsor Gate, and Lincoln Avenue would be upgraded for better traffic flow.
Key Issues
- Should street parking be removed to make room for a protected bike lane?
- What intersection improvements are needed for safety?
- Where should designated e-bike and e-scooter parking be located?
