Since the summer of 2015, staff have been engaging stakeholders, residents, service providers, and the general public about improving the 10th Ave Corridor for walking and cycling while accommodating motor vehicle access.

Please review the materials presented today and provide your feedback on design recommendations for three segments in the 10th Ave Corridor.

Improving 10th AveEvery summer day, roughly 2,000 to 3,000 people bike through the busier locations along 10th Avenue, making this one of the City’s most important east-west bike routes, with an annual total of over 600,000 trips. In some segments, the street also sees high vehicle traffic volumes. Through a full public engagement process and collaboration with many stakeholders, City staff are working to improve the 10th Ave Corridor to make it safer and more comfortable for people of all ages and abilities to walk and cycle.

Improve comfort and accessibility for people walking and cycling, especially in busier sections around VGH

Address safety concerns for all road users, especially at key intersections

Accommodate the loading and access needs of adjacent businesses and institutions

Help people driving, who may not be accustomed to high bicycle volumes, get to their destinations along 10th Ave safely and comfortably.

10th Ave has been a busy bike route for over 10 years and is one of the most direct East-West connectors in Vancouver’s cycling network. The goal is to improve the route for people who cycle to ensure it is safe and comfortable for all ages and abilities (AAA).

Connecting transit:

Expo Line (Commercial-Broadway Station), Canada Line (Broadway-City Hall Station)

Average Bicycle Volumes

2,000 to 3,000/day (typical summer day)

600,000+ annually

Collisions Involving Bicycles

Approx. 40 cycling collisions reported each year (2009-2013)*

1/2 of the collisions occur at intersections*

5 years of VGH ER records show only 4 pedestrian-cyclist traffic incidents (2011-2016), representing 2% of all traffic-related incidents logged at ER

Public Engagement to DateThe engagement process for the 10th Ave Corridor project began in summer 2015. Feedback has been received from the public and stakeholders through open houses, online surveys, emails, and working groups sessions.

The plan proposes expanding the ‘all ages and abilities’ (AAA) network of high standard local street bikeways and separated bicycle lanes. Early candidates (subject to public consultation) are shown here.

Priority will be given to critical gaps, areas with high existing or potential ridership, andopportunities as they arise through other projects.

Transportation 2040 is a long-term strategic vision for the City that will help guide transportation and land use decisions and public investments for the years ahead. This plan identifies improving the 10th Ave bike route as a key project and it is highlighted on the plan’s Cycling Route Priorities map.

Transportation 2040 directions:

2/3 of trips on foot, bike, and transit by 2040

Build cycling routes that feel comfortable for people of all ages and abilities (C1.1)

Upgrade and expand the cycling network to efficiently connect people to destinations (C1.2)

Make streets safer for walking (W1.1)

Consider impacts to transit, commercial vehicles, and general traffic flow prior to reallocating road space (M1.2)

Manage traffic to improve safety and neighbourhood livability (M1.3)

Provide for efficient loading and unloading (G2.2)

Make the majority of trips (over 50%) by foot, bicycle, and public transit by 2020

Reduce the average distance driven per resident by 20% from 2007 levels

All Vancouver residents live within a 5-minute walk of a park, greenway, or other green space by 2020

Increase the percentage of Vancouver residents aged 18 and older who meet the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines by 25% over 2014 levels

10th Ave Corridor Phase 3 Open Houses

For more information, visit vancouver.ca/10th-avenueNOVEMBER 2016 - Board #4

Through a variety of consultation events we asked people who walk, bike, and drive on 10th Ave to share their experiences on the corridor. We received comments about areas that people enjoy and areas that people are concerned about.

The 10th Avenue bike route has a high number of reported cycling collisions relative to other corridors and there are some segments with relatively high motor vehicle volumes. For people of all ages and abilities to feel comfortable riding a bike when sharing the street with people driving, motor vehicle volumes need to be below 500 to 1,000 per day (roughly one vehicle every minute at the busiest times). On shared local street bikeways, such as 10th Avenue, this is typically accomplished through traffic calming. Where traffic calming is not an option, such as in the Health Precinct, protected bike lanes may be required.

Building on what we heard, along with a closer look at conditions along the corridor, we have advanced design proposals in 3 key areas which exhibit high traffic volumes, relatively high collision rates, and have received many public comments:

Love it!

Needs improvement

Note: Size of dot indicates number of comments

Legend

Area around hospital very busy

Too many stop signs for people on 10th Ave

The intersection at 10th and Pr. Edward

is awkward.

Removing the traffic circle has improved

the intersection

Better crosswalks and more lighting would

improve walking

We have to hurry to cross Clarke at 10th, give us more

time!

Make it safe to bring my daughter to daycare!

Between Cambie & Oak - super dangerous,

I never bike it! :(

Make more crosswalks

Love the big trees!

Lots of puddles in the street, we get soaked by cars.

Can you give us more time to cross

Oak St?

We like the smooth path

through China Creek park

Too crowded with 2 lanes parking.

Can you eliminate some parking to

make more space?

N

Prioritizing 10th Ave Improvements

Bike volumes based on 12-hour demographic and manual intersection counts conducted by the City of Vancouver, expanded to an average 2016 June day based on bike volumes at the 10th Ave and Clark St permanent bike counter (2014-2016).

Vehicle volumes based on 24-hour average mid-week day (Tues, Wed, or Thurs) CoV portable hose counts, from which bikes are filtered out (2013-2016)

Collision data from ICBC (2009-2013 inclusive). The City of Vancouver does not attribute to ICBC any results, information or data derived from the use, interpretation or analysis of the collision data.

In this round of consultation, we are focusing on 3 segments of the 10th Ave Corridor with relatively high traffic volumes and collision rates, which have frequently been identified by the public as uncomfortable areas for walking or biking.
