The STP is a long-term plan that will guide policy and investment by identifying strategies and actions to build connections, improve systems, and plan for the next 30 years of the City’s transportation future for people and goods walking, cycling, driving, and taking public transportation. All community members were invited to create an STP that is inclusive, sustainable, and forward-thinking. 1 CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE WHAT IS THE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN? •Update to the 2014 Strategic Transportation Plan •Long-term plan for multi-modal transportation in Maple Ridge •Identifies infrastructure projects •Identifies policy and programming recommendations •Provides an implementation plan and cost estimates Strategic Transportation Plan Update Capital Planning Operations and Maintenance Policy, Programming and Additional Studies 2014 Strategic Transportation Plan Official Community Plan Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy Figure 1-1: What is the STP? 1.1 Background Maple Ridge has more than doubled its population over the last 30 years and is projected to sustain a steady growth rate to nearly 125,000 people by 2050. The City has transformed from a rural community to a regional hub. Employment is expected to grow at a faster rate than population, and there is a high percentage of younger residents. These are the main drivers for the City to revise its strategy for shaping its transportation future. The last STP was adopted in 2014 and resulted in improvements to the City’s transportation network, but the community has grown and evolved, along with the transportation context. The City is due for an update to accurately inform capital planning, policy and programming, ongoing operations, and maintenance, as well as respond to policy directions in the Official Community Plan (OCP) and facilitate communication with regional partners. The STP’s connection to the City’s planning and policy framework is displayed in Figure 1‑1. 2 r l ) L INTRODUCTIONSTRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN SUMMARY 1.2 Study Process The STP update commenced in April 2021 with Council endorsement. The STP process includes five phases as illustrated in Figure 1‑2. More details on the study process can be found in Appendix A.

This section summarizes the existing conditions and key factors that shape mobility patterns in Maple Ridge. 4 SHAPING INFLUENCESSTRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN SUMMARY 2.1 Why Transportation Matters Transportation networks play a significant role in our daily lives as they influence what mode we choose, how far we need to travel, how long or convenient our trips are, how safe it is, how much it costs, and the experience we have while travelling. Transportation challenges can impact a community in a number of ways, especially surrounding health, sustainability, and safety. The STP can help the City respond to a number of intersecting and critical challenges, including: SAFETY SUSTAINABILITY AFFORDABILITY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LIVABILITY ECONOMY 2.2 Integration With Other Plans The STP will replace the 2014 STP and will help further inform transportation decisions at different levels of planning, including the vision, goals, strategies, and actions of the City’s OCP and area plans. As a result, the STP is closely linked to several other Acts, plans, and policies at the local, regional, provincial, and federal levels. These documents set the overarching goals, visions, and objectives for land use, transportation, and other key long-term planning considerations in the City and beyond. The STP looks to make recommendations in the City within these parameters. 5 REGIONAL PLANNING +·Mifi:frHIOM LOCAL PLANNING Off1c1al Community Plan c+M:hiM@M;+ ++i:ii:ibH\P ♦ifi¼ii'MH:HMf -·-;J;)f;· e9'( FL,w, -......... · ... _~. ~ .. -..... 8 ■1J ~~ +MM·@Hi:i ·Mi::i::i·i:Wffi@D 4-JMMM;+ •¥1#-M@D SHAPING INFLUENCES CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE 2.3 Community Profile The City of Maple Ridge is a community of 90,990 (Statistics Canada 2021 Census) residents in ten neighbourhoods and historic centres that span over more than 260 km2 of land area in the northeastern corner of Metro Vancouver between the Fraser River and the Golden Ears Mountains. The City is located on the traditional, ancestral territories of the Katzie and Kwantlen First Nations. The City is located between the growing communities of the City of Pitt Meadows and the City of Mission, and serves as a regional hub for both Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley due to its amenities, job opportunities, and transportation connections. Population growth Over the last thirty years, Maple Ridge has been one of the fastest growing municipalities in the region, more than doubling its population. It is projected this rapid growth sustain will continue to reach nearly 125,000 people by 2050 (Figure 2-1). Figure 2-1: Population Growth Source: Statistics Canada Census Data (Historic), Regional Transportation Demand Model (Projection) Employment Employment in Maple Ridge is expected to grow at a faster rate than population, meaning directionality of traffic could be lessened but more pressure will be placed on the local transportation network. Density Density is increasing in the City, especially in the Town Centre, Central Maple Ridge, West Maple Ridge, and Cottonwood areas (Figure 2‑2). Half of the projected growth will be in the Town Centre alone.

The transportation network should connect schools and transit with the densest parts of the City to serve young families. The City’s current largest adult population cohort is between the ages of 50-54 years. This age cohort, along with others from the ‘Baby Boom’ generation are likely to require enhanced transportation options in the coming years. Geography Despite its growth, the City has retained its agricultural and small- town roots with 15% of its land base Agricultural Land Reserve and 60% forested area. Changing terrain and grades, especially those in the north and east, can be challenging for active transportation, transit, and heavy vehicles. 7 SHAPING INFLUENCES CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE Understanding the way Maple Ridge residents travel is an important step in developing future directions, strategies, and actions.

Population & Employment Growth Growth, combined with high driver mode share, has increased pressure on roads. New development is an opportunity to provide safe, comfortable walking and cycling infrastructure, to facilitate transit priority, and to right-size roadways and parking to improve the transportation system for everyone. Western Gateway Traffic congestion and queues have increased at the western boundary of the City, creating delays for transit, drivers, and goods movement. Investments in all modes will be needed to move more people across the western gateway. Emissions Reduction To reduce transportation emissions, the number of vehicle kilometres traveled must be reduced and a greater share of those trips must be made by electric vehicles. Focused Improvements Maple Ridge has a large land mass with drainage constraints. Focusing improvements in higher density areas, and / or serving seniors, youth and other vulnerable populations can make the City’s investments more effective. Evolving Town Centre Home to many of Maple Ridge’s senior and low-income households, the Town Centre is an important focus for investment in safe and comfortable networks that meet the needs of people of all ages and abilities. Changing Technology Transportation technology and infrastructure is changing, meaning policies and regulations need to be responsive and integrate new modes such as ridehailing, automated vehicles, and micromobility. 9 CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE 3.0 Future Directions This section describes the future directions for transportation in Maple Ridge. It is based on the results of technical work on existing and future conditions, broader policy directions, stakeholder, and public input, and input from Council. 10 FUTURE DIRECTIONSSTRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN SUMMARY Figure 3-1: Goals & Themes 3.2 Goals Goals provide the STP more specific direction to understand which strategies, actions, and investments best align with the community’s desired outcomes and address pressing existing issues. 3.1 Vision A vision statement is an inspirational framework for the City’s future. A vision statement will influence how and where the City allocates its resources. The vision for the STP is: By 2050, Maple Ridge’s transportation system is safe, efficient, connected, accessible, and sustainable. Residents, visitors, and businesses can meet their daily transportation needs reliably and comfortably using their mode of choice. A safe, connected, reliable, accessible, sustainable, and cost-effective transportation system is expected to have a lower proportion of trips by driving, reduce vehicle kilometres travelled per person, and to produce fewer GHGs. Decreasing driving mode share is a key lever to improving efficiency and reliability, as well as achieving other STP goals. Transportation outcomes and GHG emissions are influenced by multiple factors, including land-use, policy, economics, public infrastructure, and human behaviour. The City is taking a comprehensive approach to address climate change as part of the Climate Action Plan, which is under development at the time of publication of the STP. 11 A connected transportation system where neighbours can meet, businesses can thrive, and people and goods can move within our community An efficient and reliable transportation system that allows people to get to their destinations on time FUTURE DIRECTIONS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE 3.3 Themes, Strategies, and Actions The strategic directions and long-term networks are organized into seven themes, all of which will be advanced in service of the goals. Figure 3-2: Thematic Areas & Goals 12 STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN SUMMARY 4.0 Themes, Strategies, and Actions This section summarizes the seven themes that organize the strategic directions and long-term networks. Each of the themes contains several strategies and actions that outline the steps to be taken by the City to work towards the vision and goals. Key input to the development of these themes, strategies, and actions includes existing policy, input from the public, stakeholders, and Council. The seven themes are to be advanced in service of the goals of a safe, connected, reliable, accessible, sustainable, and cost-effective transportation system in Maple Ridge. 13 THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE THEME 1 Complete Communities In a complete community, residents can meet most of their basic needs within their neighbourhood. Complete communities1 are places where community schools, meeting places, grocery stores, jobs, and services are close and connected enough that people living in all types of housing can choose to walk, roll, or bike. The STP’s goals of a safe, connected, efficient and reliable, accessible, sustainable, and cost-effective transportation system can best be met by starting with the foundation of complete and connected communities. 1 Complete communities are also known by other names, including 15 minute communities. Strategy 1.1: Link land use, transportation, livability, and climate actions to support a complete, communities. Land use and transportation are inherently linked and influence the way people travel. This strategy connects land use changes and multi-modal transportation improvements to ensure there are a range of convenient and comfortable travel choices close to where people live, work, and play. This will contribute to improved livability, vibrancy, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, while allowing the City to invest in transportation infrastructure in a cost-effective way. The City has been implementing complete communities through policies such as the OCP, area plans, and Council’s Strategic Plan and recognizes that growth needs to be concentrated near community amenities and services, and along rapid and frequent transit corridors. Action 1.1.1 In accordance with current City planning documents, concentrate growth and density along the Lougheed Transit Corridor and within the Town Centre to create opportunities to walk, cycle, and use transit. Action 1.1.2 Continue to investigate opportunities for infill commercial and institutional development, as well as advocating for improved internet connectivity in existing predominately single-family neighbourhoods. Action 1.1.3 Update Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800-1933 to ensure new and improved streets follow Complete Streets principles, all ages and ability cycling practices, and Universal Design practices for pedestrians. Action 1.1.4 Partner with the development community to deliver complete, comfortable, and connected walking and cycling facilities, high-quality transit amenities, and high-quality urban design and placemaking features, particularly in higher density, mixed-use areas. Action 1.1.5 Ensure that City capital projects, including utility improvements and civic institutions work towards comfortable walking and cycling infrastructure. People-First Streets The Transformative Actions in Transport 2050 include transforming roads that have been designed primarily for private cars into people-first streets that are designed for everyone. These streets feature reduced motor vehicle speeds and greater separation of different modes and speeds. People first streets complement complete communities by creating places where all people – including people with disabilities and people using transit, cycling, walking, or rolling – feel safe, comfortable, and connected. – Adapted from Transport 2050 14 THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONSSTRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN SUMMARY Strategy 2.1: Design and deliver multi-modal transportation and public realm improvements along key corridors that will move the City towards its overall goals and objectives. This strategy is focused on infrastructure improvements along key corridors to deliver a complete and connected transportation network. Each of the actions focuses on a specific corridor and outlines the long- term intent for that corridor, recommended cross-section elements, key trade-offs and challenges, partnerships, and next steps. The actions also identify locations and types of intersection improvements to be included in the design of improvements along the key corridors. These intersections were identified through the roadway work described in Theme 6. The changes identified are subjected to future design and may be delivered all at once or in stages by the City or key partners, including MOTI, TransLink, or through development. The key corridors are illustrated in Figure 4‑1. THEME 2 Key Corridors Road corridors are the framework that support the movement of people and goods in Maple Ridge. Within each road corridor, space is assigned to different functions, including mobility for goods and people, access to property, gathering spaces, landscaping, stormwater management, and parking. The combination of functions on each roadway and the specific design of the space is guided by the roadway classification, historic build outs, transit networks, access needs, and physical constraints. There are key corridors that will play a central role in meeting the goals of the STP. These corridors require improvements across multiple modes of transportation and more detailed consideration of opportunities, and challenges. This theme brings together improvements and needs identified through the walking, cycling, transit, and driving themes to provide unified approaches for key corridors. 15 THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE Figure 4-1: Key Corridors 16 I .--• -- I City-owned T raffic Signal ' ........

Providing complete and accessible pedestrian connections – particularly within complete communities – reduces automobile dependence, congestion, and emissions, and improves community health and livability. Approximately 17 % of trips made by Maple Ridge drivers3 are less than 2 km long and may be suitable for walking. This theme includes strategies and actions to create a more walkable community for people of all ages and abilities, focusing on the areas where people are most likely to walk for transportation. Strategy 3.1: Complete community connections to ensure residents can walk to important destinations like schools, commercial areas, community centres, and transit. Community connections allow people to comfortably walk or wheel to daily destinations in their neighbourhoods, like schools, shops, and services. Maple Ridge is geographically large compared to many other cities in the lower mainland, with many historic neighbourhoods where roadways were not built with sidewalks. Approximately 35% of roadways have pedestrian facilities (sidewalks or multi-use pathways) on one or both sides of the street. Given the scale of sidewalk gaps in the City, this strategy focuses on completing pedestrian connections to schools, commercial areas, and community centres which are key destinations that are likely to serve the most walking trips, resulting in cost-effective investment in walking that is aligned with the focus on complete communities explored in Theme 1. 2 In the context of the walking network, rolling refers to the use of wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and powered wheelchairs to travel as a pedestrian. Other rolling modes include bicycles (electric, human-powered, cargo, and / or velomobiles (addressed in Section 3.3.2), and scooters, e-scooters, electric mopeds, and other micromobility devices (addressed in Section 3.3.5). 3 According to the 2017 TransLink Trip Diary. Action 3.1.1 Fill in the gaps in the pedestrian network, prioritizing pedestrian facility investments in locations with the highest potential for use. Action 3.1.2 Ensure new developments provide active transportation connections that shorten walking distances and provide a safe, comfortable, and pleasant public realm. Action 3.1.3 Work with public agencies and other institutions (e.g. schools, hospitals, etc.) to ensure that new projects are designed and oriented to prioritize walking to community destinations and that new and existing sites provide pathway connections whenever feasible. Action 3.1.4 Enhance trails and pathways, identifying greenway corridors and formalizing connections between community destinations and creating opportunities to recreate within the City. What is ‘Universal Design’? Universal design refers to the design of products, environments, programs, and services to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized modifications. Universal design ensures that the built environment is accessible to people of all ages and abilities, regardless of any type of physical or cognitive challenge. Universal design is a fundamental design principle that has been applied throughout the Plan. It is specifically embedded in changes to overall design guidance (Action 1.1.3) and a comfortable and accessible pedestrian network (Action 3.2.1). 17 WALKING/ ROLLING • 0 ~•ffi THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE Figure 4-2: Long-Term Pedestrian Network 18 0 500 1,000 2,000 Mc-tres wrgeon Slough r- Mirror Lake L - /\ . r :-,,; .... }--:.·• .... ·· .... •.~ \ : : . ; ' ' ,{:_,•~--...... .. -• ___ .,: ~ Fraser River • ~l-~,------=-...,,,-~y !.-~---"---"''-,.U..--"-'---.>.i......:;:.,..._~ -.---i;.:::1..._;_ ·-· ··-·-~· LONG -TERM PEDESTRIAN NETWORK Existing Sidewalks Existing Multi-Use Pathway Proposed Multi-Use Pathway Pedestrian Facility -1 Side Proposed Pedestrian Facility -2 Sides Proposed Wide Shared Protected Shoulders Proposed West Ridge Greenway Trail -Commercial -School Park L ...:' Municipal Boundary ~ First Nation Reserve Land ··········'"'~'········· .. ~ 100TH AVE :;; __.

Addressing linear gaps in sidewalks and pathways is one component of improving the pedestrian network. A comfortable and accessible pedestrian network also follows Universal Design principles for accessibility. This strategy focuses on actions the City can take to improve the comfort and accessibility of walking in Maple Ridge. Action 3.2.1 Implement Universal Design, including accessible curb ramps, detectable warning surfaces, and audible pedestrian signals. Action 3.2.2 Provide new crossing opportunities to support a connected pedestrian network where warranted. Action 3.2.3 Continue to support community and regional organizations in their initiatives to promote walking, such as Safe Routes to Schools, walking clubs and pedestrian safety education. Strategy 3.3: Invest and partner for a walkable Regional City Centre and Lougheed Transit Corridor Area to ensure most trips in these areas can be comfortably and safely made by walking. People are most likely to walk where there is both a complete community of homes and destinations, and a complete and connected walking network. Existing historic neighbourhoods of Maple Ridge have a high potential for walking; however, the sidewalk network in these neighbourhoods is often discontinuous. Investment in these areas will benefit existing residents and businesses while also leveraging development to create complete, connected, and walkable communities. The Town Centre and Lougheed Transit Corridor are important locations to provide comfortable and accessible walking facilities to address existing equity gaps, as well as create opportunity to walk to transit. Action 3.3.1 Address sidewalk gaps and improve and accessibility in the Town Centre and the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area. Action 3.3.2 Work with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and developers to construct new pedestrian infrastructure and enhance existing infrastructure on Lougheed Highway. 19 SHAPING INFLUENCES CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE THEME 4 Cycling Cities with safe, comfortable, and connected cycling networks are more likely to have a higher proportion of cycling mode share. In any given community, approximately 51% of the population is interested in cycling, but have concerns over their safety. In Maple Ridge and Metro Vancouver, cycling is a growing mode of transportation, and stakeholders at the local, regional, and provincial levels have expressed the need to grow the City’s cycling network to increase its mode share and reach climate goals. Regionally, TransLink’s Regional Cycling Strategy and Transport 2050 identify a Major Bikeway Network (MBN) that connects Urban Centres and major destinations across the region, as well as a Regional Greenways Network, which connects to parks, open spaces, natural areas, and scenic pathways. These networks were considered in the development of strategies and actions within this theme. The following strategies and actions to build out a network of complete, connected, and comfortable cycling facilities to encourage more cycling trips by people of all ages and abilities. Strategy 4.1: Complete connections to community destinations to ensure that most residents and visitors can easily and comfortably access amenities across the City by bicycle. Facilitating cycling trips requires a network of comfortable cycling routes that connect people to the places they want to go. A complete and connected network of primary cycling routes that are comfortable for most, and suitable for people of All Ages and Abilities (AAA) where feasible will increase the mode share of cycling and enable the City to meet the broader goals of the STP. The City’s cycling network will combine facilities that are AAA facilities that are comfortable for most and supporting cycling facilities. Figure 4‑3 illustrates different types of bicycle facilities. Beyond facility type, a range of other factors influence the comfort and accessibility of cycling, including intersection treatments, multimodal connections, and end of trip amenities. Figure 4-3: Bicycle Facility Types Action 4.1.1 Develop a complete and connected cycling network, focusing on connecting community destinations such as commercial areas, schools, community centres, natural areas, and transit. 20 LE SS COMFOR TAB LE MORE COMFORTABLE THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONSSTRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN SUMMARY Figure 4-4: Long-Term Cycling Network 21 •• ~1· \ ,;:: ~· ~ f 0 500 1,000 Metres r ~- ~ ·. ~,,., ~ ■.,,> Existing Proposed ..... 2,000 Trai l Proposed Primary Proposed Secondary Proposed West Ridge Greenway --, L- ~ .J Commercial School Park Municipal Boundary Fi rst Nation Reserve Land Mirror Lake . : . ii,. l ... ■- ■■--■■■--•--I ---- ABERNETHY WAr . . ts■ --~· .. -· ... • •• E• • . . . ···- f . . ••• ■ •••• -♦ ♦., MAPLE R IDGE ~ BritishColumbia STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE Action 4.1.2 Work towards upgrading existing cycling infrastructure on the Primary network towards All Ages and Abilities and improving the comfort of cycling on the secondary network.

Action 4.1.4 Work with developers to implement high quality cycling infrastructure. Strategy 4.2 - Partner to complete regional cycling network that connects to neighbouring municipalities and to grow local and regional cycling. The City is part of a broader region and area with the potential for growth in both regional and local cycling for transportation and recreation. Regional coordination is essential to best leverage local investments. Action 4.2.1 Work with the Ministry of Transportation and TransLink to deliver All Ages and Abilities (AAA) cycling infrastructure along Lougheed Highway from the City of Pitt Meadows boundary into the Town Centre. Action 4.2.2 Work with the City of Mission, City of Pitt Meadows and Township of Langley to implement and enhance cycling connections to neighbouring municipalities. Action 4.2.3 Work with Metro Vancouver to revise the Regional Greenways Network within the road right-of-way and to make key connections to the Primary and Secondary cycling networks. Action 4.2.4 Work with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to construct new cycling infrastructure and enhance existing infrastructure on Haney Bypass and Lougheed Highway east of the Town Centre. Action 4.2.5 Continue to support cycling education and promotion programs like Safe Routes to School, Everyone Rides 4/5, Learn2Ride, and events like Bike to Work Week and Bike Valet. Rapid Implementation Design Guide for Bikeways in Metro Vancouver In certain contexts, the City may consider using rapid implementation approaches when building out the cycling network. Rapid implementation is a fast and cost-effective method of implementing active transportation projects that use adjustable, low-cost materials. TransLink’s Rapid Implementation Design Guide provides guidance for the planning, design, implementation, maintenance, and monitoring of bikeways through rapid implementation lens. Figure 4-5: Bicycle Maintenance Station 22 , I THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONSSTRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN SUMMARY THEME 5 Transit Public transit has the highest people moving capacity of all modes, and fast, reliable, and convenient transit systems are more likely to attract high levels of ridership. Shifting trips to transit can improve the efficiency of the road network, reducing congestion, collision rates, and emissions, while also increasing affordability, livability, and equity in our community. Currently 68% of trips starting in Maple Ridge stay in Maple Ridge, and 28% travel through the western gateway of the City via Lougheed or Golden Ears Way / Golden Ears Bridge. These longer distance trips are currently mostly served by private vehicles and investment in the MTN. Frequent transit along these routes has the potential to shift these long-distance trips to transit. The recent introduction of the R3 along Lougheed Highway is an initial step towards improved service along this route and MoTI. The Strategies and Actions in the STP focus on the City’s role in improving the reliability and efficiency of the transit network and amenities, as well as aligning density, land use, and transportation, to make taking transit a competitive option for medium and long-distance trips. Transport 2050, together with regional and municipal land use planning actions, aim for 55% of Metro Vancouver’s residents to live within walking distance of the MTN.4 Regional investments outlined within the 10- year priorities include planned Rapid Bus from Haney Place to Langley and Bus Rapid Transit from Haney Place to Coquitlam Central Station. 4 Walking distance is defined as 800 m from the MTN. Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Area Transport Plan (2021) The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Area Transport Plan (ATP) establishes a “blueprint” for improving the transportation network in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge over the next ten years in a way that is responsive to local needs and consistent with regional objectives in Metro 2040 and Transport 2050. The plan makes recommendations around transit service and infrastructure, walking, cycling, and regional roads and goods movement, ensuring that municipal land use and transportation plans support existing and expected land use and travel patterns. Strategy 5.1: Continue pursuing land use planning that supports transit to ensure that the community and transit are oriented around one another, promoting transit use. Transit-oriented development increases the number of people, jobs, and services within walking distance of transit and improves the effectiveness of investments in transit frequency and bus priority. This strategy echoes Theme 1 and includes actions focused on aligning land use and transit. Action 5.1.1 Support TransLink and Metro Vancouver priorities to align the transit network with residential populations, ensuring that most residents live within 400m of the transit network. Action 5.1.2 Continue to align mixed use land uses, density and transportation within the Town Centre and Lougheed Transit Corridor. Action 5.1.3 Leverage development to identify a new location for the Town Centre transit hub, which will replace and update the Haney Transit Exchange. 23 THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE Figure 4-6: Long-term Transit Network (based on recently approved ATP) 24 500 1,000 2.000 Metres I J i~\ ~ --:_~ .. ..l._._)r,. ....... r<:.--·· ' : ... ...,ll?ND~E { I :;;\ •••• ,I - I ~ [mmVE r- ,.,, LONG-TERM TRANSIT NETWORK @ Transit Exchange C:) West Coast Express Transit Frequency _ 15 Minute or Better Fixed Route Bus Transit _ Fixed Route B us Transit Serv ice, frequency TBD -Bus Rapid Transit Corridor West Coast Express e Improved Mooility Hub • G Transit Priority Improvements Locations Commun ity Centre 0 ffl G} 0 --, L_ ~ Hospital Libra ry M unicipal Hall Senior Centre Trail On Call Service Area Sch ool Park M unicip al Boundary First Nation Reserve Land , ..

Reliable and efficient transit service increases ridership and provides better service to residents and businesses. Transit service in Maple Ridge currently includes the R3 RapidBus, West Coast Express, conventional buses operating on fixed routes as part of the Frequent Transit Network, conventional and community buses offering less frequent fixed route service, on-demand transit, and handy-dart service. The 2019 Bus Speed and Reliability Report identified that 80% of bus routes in Metro Vancouver were slower in 2019 than they were in 2014. This strategy identifies actions the City can take to increase bus speed and reliability. Action 5.2.1 Work with TransLink and MOTI to work towards on- street bus rapid transit along Lougheed Highway. Action 5.2.2 Continue to promote West Coast Express improvements, including frequency and hours of service improvements, to all levels of government, TransLink, and rail companies. Strategy 5.3: Complete connections to community destinations to ensure that all residents and visitors can easily and comfortably access amenities across the City and the region. Most transit trips begin with another mode – people walk, cycle, drive, take a taxi, ride-hail, or use a micro-mobility device to reach transit stops and stations and continue on with their trip. A complete and connected network that is oriented towards transit services improves the comfort and attractiveness of transit as a mode of transportation, particularly for longer trips. Many of the actions that improve this connectivity are within municipal jurisdiction, while others require partnership with other agencies and developers. This strategy identifies actions to improve the ease and comfort of transit access. Action 5.3.1 Improve walking access to transit stops and stations. Action 5.3.2 Improve bus stop, transit exchange, and West Coast Express passenger amenities, enhancing accessibility of bus stops. Action 5.3.3 Improve multi-modal connections at bus stops, transit exchanges and West Coast Express stations. 25 THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE THEME 6 Driving / Goods Movement Driving is currently the most common mode of transportation in Maple Ridge and the use of the road network for commercial vehicles is important to the local economy. By encouraging a safe, connected, and efficient road network, driving and goods movement trips can avoid long, circuitous routes to their destinations, reducing congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, and the risk of collision. The City is expected to continue experiencing rapid growth, and the road network needs to sufficiently accommodate growth to ensure residents, visitors, and businesses can continue to thrive. Beyond building and expanding roadways, the City also has the opportunity to work to shift some of these trips to transit, cycling, rolling, and walking to promote a safe and efficient road network through Transportation Demand Management initiatives to simultaneously support addressing congestion. This theme includes strategies and actions that create new connections and improvements to reduce inefficiencies and accommodate growth, improve safety, and to manage the demand for the road network. Strategy 6.1: Completing the road network to ensure that neighbourhoods and destinations are connected to one another in an efficient way. Since 2014, the City has advanced the design of some new roadway connections identified in the STP. These connections were reviewed based traffic volumes to confirm the recommended road cross-sections and potential timing for these changes to reduce delay and congestion on parallel roadways, create network redundancy, and increase the City’s resilience to climate change and natural disasters. The completed roadway network will also include transportation networks within developments, which are specified by Bylaw 4800-1993, as discussed as part of Action 1.1.3. Action 6.1.1 Complete the arterial road network in developing areas, including completing the Abernethy Way, 240 Street Bridge, Grant Avenue, 248 Street, and the Thornhill Access Roadway. Action 6.1.2 Work with developers to ensure that greenfield developments feature multi-modal collector and local road networks that meets the City’s needs. Action 6.1.3 Close gaps in the existing collector and local road networks. Action 6.1.4 Create a Dangerous Goods Route Network. 26 THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONSSTRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN SUMMARY Figure 4-7: New Arterial Roads (2050) 27 0 500 1,000 2,000 Metres r- :;; ~ 128TH AVE r- ta i \ I" ;:: ~ 113%-$' .,,,,,.

East-west roadways within Maple Ridge serve local, regional, and provincial trips. In particular, Lougheed Highway is the provincial corridor for regional east-west travel, as well as being an important part of the local transportation network. Existing MRN roadways also provide regional connectivity, including to existing and future industrial land. This strategy identifies actions to improve efficiency and accommodate growth. Action 6.2.1 Work with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and TransLink to implement improvements to major roadways Figure 4-8: Major Roadway Widening by 2050 28 0 500 1.000 2,000 -Melres ..I \ \ MAJOR ROADWAY WIDENING Highway Road Widening -Commercial Major Road Network Road Widening -School Highway Arterial Road Major Collector Road Collector Road Local Road Park L _:1 Municipal Boundary ~ Fi rsl Nation Reserve Land • .....

Intersections are the source of most delay, low reliability, and collisions on the transportation network. This strategy includes actions that focus on intersections. Action 6.3.1 Address capacity and operational issues at key intersections. Action 6.3.2 Continue the intersection safety program. Action 6.3.3 Continue traffic control warrant assessment and investment program. Action 6.3.4 Consider traffic operational systems improvements. Strategy 6.4: Ensure proactive steps are taken to improve safety for vulnerable road users and motorists. Recent studies indicate collisions with motor vehicles travelling at speeds greater than 40 km/hr have a less than 70% survival rate, compared to a more than 90% survival rate at 30 km/hr or less. Vehicle speed also contributes to both the rate and severity of collisions involving two or more vehicles.5 Higher vehicle volumes increase risk by increasing exposure. As explored in Strategy 6.3, the STP seeks to improve safety by investigating and addressing safety challenges at locations with a relatively high rate and/or severity of collisions.6 Beyond improvements to individual intersections, programs that reduce traffic speeds in key conflict locations and updates to design standards can reduce transportation-related injuries and fatalities. 5 SWOV Fact Sheet: The relation between speed and crashes. (https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/speedmgt/ref_mats/ fhwasa1304/Resources3/08%20-%20The%20Relation%20Between%20Speed%20and%20Crashes.pdf) 6 STP Report 1 documented 15 intersections with a collisions rate that is 10% higher than the critical collision rate and a Collision Severity Index that is greater than 5, as well as eight intersections that had no volume data available, but had a collision frequency greater than one collision per year and a Collision Severity Index greater than five. Action 6.4.1 Continue the existing Traffic Calming Policy approach. Action 6.4.2 Collaborate at a regional level to explore opportunities to introduce people first neighbourhoods. Strategy 6.5: Use transportation demand management to reduce the demand on the road network, increasing efficiency. Transportation demand management (TDM) seeks to reduce the demand on the road network by reducing the number of vehicle trips during times of peak congestion and the overall vehicle kilometers travelled (VKT) per person. TDM focuses on shifting trips from driving alone to carpooling and non-auto modes of transportation; shifting trips to different times of day; and eliminating some trips. The actions in this strategy leverage TDM measures to reduce VKT, improve reliability, and reduce congestion. Action 6.5.1 Consider the introduction of high occupancy vehicle lanes that are shared with transit at key locations. Action 6.5.2 Review parking requirements in Bylaw 4350-1990, including changes that encourage the use of car pooling and reduce parking minimums. Action 6.5.3 Continue to work with TransLink to educate and promote the use of non-auto modes of transportation. Action 6.5.4 Continue to work with local businesses, stratas, Business Improvement Associations, and the Chamber of Commerce to review and address curbside management requests. 30 THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONSSTRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN SUMMARY THEME 7 New Mobility The way we travel is evolving and expected to continue to do so with the introduction of new mobility and technology such as electrification, connectivity, automation, shared mobility, and road pricing. Integration and accommodation of new mobility and technology into the City’s transportation networks can support the City’s broader societal objectives, making clean, fast, and affordable transportation accessible and safe for everyone. In addition, the region is likely to implement policy and programming that will introduce new travel modes and/or, regulations on our transportation networks, such as shared mobility, autonomous vehicles, and road pricing. The City can participate in these discussions to ensure there is a broader positive impact for its residents and visitors consistent across the region. The Strategic Transportation Plan identifies key strategies and actions that will support the integration of current and future technologies and trends, ensuring the City is a conduit for shifting transportation patterns to cleaner, more affordable, and safer modes. Strategy 7.1: Support the ‘electrification’ of travel to ensure that the City can accommodate future trends, and proactively reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Metro Vancouver’s Climate 2050 Strategic Framework (2019) estimates that 31% of greenhouse gas emissions in the region are a result of cars and trucks. Moving towards higher adoption of zero emissions vehicles, including electric passenger cars and trucks, is an important component of achieving the City’s Climate Action Goals. The City will adopt to these changes by focusing on the availability of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Electric vehicles are recharged by plugging into the electricity grid. There are three levels of charger, each with a different time required to reach a full charge. Other new forms of mobility, including electric bicycles, electric cargo bicycles, and electric scooters can also help lower greenhouse gas emissions by expanding the number and type of trips that are feasible by non-auto modes of transportation. These vehicles also benefit from electric outlets in parking lots, particularly where there is secure bicycle parking. The actions within this strategy focus on two approaches to increasing the availability of electric charging infrastructure. Action 7.1.1 Continue to install and expand electric charging infrastructure at community facilities. Action 7.1.2 Ensure new electric charging infrastructure is a required minimum for new developments. 31 THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE Strategy 7.2: Explore the role of new ways of travelling, including car share (e.g. Evo, Modo), ride share (e.g. Uber, Lyft), micromobility (bike share, electric bikes, scooter share, etc.) in improving mobility for all. Transportation is evolving as new technology emerges and creates new choices, opportunities, and challenges. These new modes pose regulatory and practical challenges and policy makers will need to adjust quickly to enable opportunities while mitigating challenges that arise over time. This strategy outlines actions the City can take to proactively regulate and manage new mobility in the City. Action 7.2.1 Collaborate at a regional level to regulate and manage micromobility devices and shared micromobility. Action 7.2.2 Encourage car share organizations to extending service to Maple Ridge, particularly within the Lougheed Transit Corridor and Town Centre areas. Action 7.2.3 Ensure new developments provide for the secure storage and charging of electric bicycle, cargo bicycles, and scooters and improve storage amenities at City-owned destinations. Action 7.2.4 Subsequent updates to the STP will provide regular updates on advancement in transportation technologies to ensure the City is prepared to accommodate future travel needs of the community Strategy 7.3: Coordinate for automation to ensure that the regional introduction of Autonomous Vehicles is smooth and creates a positive impact on the transportation network. Connected and autonomous vehicles include a range of self-driving or partially automated vehicles that are connected to infrastructure and each other. As illustrated in Figure 4‑10, levels of automation range from ‘0’ (i.e., no automation: a human performs all driving tasks) to ‘5’ (i.e., full automation: vehicle can drive itself without supervision and in any condition). Research completed for Transport 2050 suggests that Level 4 automation is likely to be available by 2030 and widespread by 2050. Managing the opportunities and challenges of automation will require regional collaboration, as outlined in the actions below. Figure 4‑10: Levels of Driving Automation (Source: Transport 2050) Action 7.3.1 Collaborate at a regional level to study the impacts of Autonomous Vehicles. 32 THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONSSTRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN SUMMARY Strategy 7.4: Participate in Regional dialogue exploring Mobility Pricing. Mobility pricing is a name for a coordinated and strategic approach to pricing transportation. Currently, transportation system users typically pay for services and infrastructure through a combination of means and the fees collected by government agencies, along with other sources of revenue (e.g. income tax, property tax) help fund the maintenance and improvement of transportation infrastructure. The Metro Vancouver Mobility Pricing Study (2018) found that a comprehensive mobility pricing policy that includes a decongestion charge could support Metro Vancouver’s growth with regional congestion point charges or multi-zone distance- based charges. The Commission recognized that any system would need to follow the guiding principles of reducing congestion, fairness, supporting investment, providing positive economic benefits, protecting privacy, ensuring stability, supporting regional growth targets, and continued public dialogue. Action 7.4.1 Participate in Regional dialogue exploring Mobility Pricing. 33 1~===============1 THEMES, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE 5.0 Implementation Plan The strategies and actions included in the STP will be carried out by the City over the next 30 years and beyond. The implementation plan provides the framework for advancing the actions, including a phasing strategy for advancing specific transportation improvements. The phasing strategy identifies recommended improvements over the short-term (0 – 10 years), medium terms (10 – 20 years), and long term (beyond 20 years). The level of investment required to implement the improvements recommended in the STP that are within municipal jurisdiction is approximately $685 million (2023 CAD). 34 IMPLEMENTATION PLANSTRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN SUMMARY To implement the actions outlined in the STP, the City will need to increase funding for sustainable travel modes and new connections and also secure new and additional sources of funding through local, provincial, and federal partnerships. As noted throughout the STP, the City will also partner with the private sector, leveraging development to achieve shared objectives for a safe, connected, reliable, and effective transportation system. Progress on delivery of the actions outlined in the STP will be done annually as part of the City’s Business Planning processes. Changes in key metrics, including mode share and vehicle kilometres travelled per capita are monitored through TransLink’s regional Trip Diary survey, which typically takes place every five years. The City is also taking a comprehensive approach to monitoring as part of the Climate Action Plan. 5.1 Principles This implementation plan identifies the capital improvements that have been prioritized for implementation within the next five to ten years. The priorities were identified based on the guiding principles included throughout the STP and summarized below: • Prioritize investments in walking and cycling infrastructure in the areas with the highest potential for use, including around schools and community centres, near transit stations and stops, and in areas with land uses that are higher density and mixed use. • Investments should, whenever possible, complete existing connections to create a complete and continuous network. • Lower cost improvements should be prioritized where they can be leveraged to serve more of the community or create a more connected network. • Prioritize connections that support climate resilience and emergency response. • Priority street and intersection improvements target the areas where there is existing queuing or where the potential for safety improvements have been identified. It is recognized that some proposed improvements are located in areas that are likely to redevelop in the short- to medium- term. In some of these locations, there is not sufficient existing ROW to achieve the desired facility types. Improvements in these locations were assigned to the medium-term horizon to align with the expected re-development. 5.2 Phasing Strategy The transportation improvements identified throughout the STP have been prioritized based on the principles outlined above. Priority projects within each theme were identified for implementation over the short-term (0 – 10 years), medium-term (10 – 20 years), and long-term (beyond 20 years). The short-term phase is described in more detail here. More information about the medium- and long-term phases can be found in the full STP document. Short-Term Implementation Phase The level of investment required to deliver the improvements identified within the short-term implementation phase is approximately $330 million over 10 years. The proposed short-term improvements are illustrated in Figure 5‑1. Integrating an Equity Lens into Planning and Implementation Equity means striving for a just, free, and fair society where all people have access to opportunities and resources to live a healthy and meaningful life. Addressing structural inequities and ensuring communities are healthy, vibrant, diverse, and inclusive requires prioritizing groups who are underserved and face barriers to participating equally in society – including their access to safe, convenient, and affordable transportation. Applying an intersectional and inclusive equity lens means striving to recognize and mitigate these factors through planning. An equity lens was applied throughout the STP and in the implementation plan, where neighbourhood demographics that consider the presence of seniors, youth, and low-income households was used to prioritize pedestrian, cycling, and transit infrastructure needs . Focusing improvements in areas that serve seniors, youth, and low-income populations can make the City’s investments more effective. 35 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE Figure 5-1: Short-Term Improvements 36 0 500 1,000 2,000 Metres -...J 128TH AVE :;; -~'.':l.•o::::.---~ SHORT-TERM TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS Key Corridors -Commercial 0 Intersection Projects -Sch ool Capital Projects Pa rk Cycling Projects -, L_ Municipal Bou ndary Ped estrian Projects ~ First Nation Reserve Land Mirror Lake Mike Lake Golden Ears Provincial Pa rk ■ DEWONEY TRUNK RD 112TH ~i -.:••• •• ... • • • •• -• • ~= • i~ BOSONWORTH AVE :;; ~ ···--······· 102ND AVE lOOTH AVE 108TH AVE --- I I • ' Kanaka Creek W honnock 116TH AVE Lake -- ~ ~t!~;.,~b~IDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION PLANSTRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN SUMMARY Table 5-2: Short-term Horizon Implementation Order-of-Magnitude Costs (2023 CAD)7 CATEGORY OF IMPROVEMENT LEVEL OF INVESTMENT Key Corridors $230M Walking Facilities $24M Pedestrian Network Improvements $21M Regional Greenway Wayfinding Program $0.06M WCE Accessibility Program $0.3M Town Centre & Lougheed Transit Area Accessibility Program $0.3M Pedestrian Crossing Program $3M Cycling Facilities $71M Cycling Network Improvements $71M Cycling Wayfinding Program $0.03M Bicycle Parking Program $0.05M Bicycle Amenities Program $0.05M Transit Facilities $1.4M Transit Priority Program $1M Bus Stop Amenity Program $0.4M WCE Exchange Amenity Allocation - Street Network $3.5M Roadway Completion $0.5M Intersection Improvements $1.1M Intersection Safety Program $0.5M Traffic Control Warrant Assessment & Investment Program $1M Traffic Signal Operations Program $0.2M Traffic Calming Policy Program $0.3M New Mobility $0.04M Electric Charging Expansion Program $.04M TOTAL $330M 7 Cost estimates are based on concept level information using unit rates for linear works and an allocation for intersection improvements. Cost estimates include 15% engineering and communications as well as 50% contingency. Costs do not include property, utility relocations, retaining structures, and other significant impacts. These estimates should not be used for budgeting purposes. 37 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE 5.3 Funding Strategies While the STP is estimated to cost approximately $685 million over the next 30 years and beyond, these costs can be shared by pursuing external funding from other levels of governments, partnerships with other organizations and the development industry, and integration of improvements with other plans and projects. This section describes several strategies that the City may consider to help leverage its investments and to maximize its ability to implement transportation improvements. The City should pursue all available sources of funding for transportation facilities and programs and regularly check with all levels of government to keep up to date on current funding opportunities. 38 CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN URBAN SYSTEMS #405-9900 KING GEORGE BLVD, SURREY, BC V3T 0K I I I' I PREPARED FOR: CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE 11995 Haney Place Maple Ridge BC V2X 6A9 ATTENTION: MARK HALPIN, BA, PMP, MANAGER OF TRANSPORTATION PREPARED BY: URBAN SYSTEMS LTD.

Transportation Plan (STP) to help address existing transportation challenges and shape the future of transportation in Maple Ridge as it adapts to demand, the addition of new development, and changing technologies that alter how the people and goods move around. The STP is a long-term plan that will guide policy and investment by identifying strategies and actions to build connections, improve systems, and plan for the next 30 years of the City’s transportation future. All community members were invited to be part of creating a new STP that is inclusive, sustainable, and forward-thinking. 1.1 BACKGROUND Maple Ridge has more than doubled its population over the last 30 years and is projected to sustain a steady growth rate to nearly 125,000 people by 2050. The City has transformed from a rural community to a regional hub. Employment is expected to grow at a faster rate than population, reducing the proportion of residents that travel longer distances to employment centres in the region. Demographics in the City are also changing with a high percentage of younger residents relative to other parts of the region. These are the main drivers for the City to reconsider its strategy for shaping its transportation future. The last STP was adopted in 2014 and resulted in improvements to the City’s transportation network, but the community has grown and evolved, along with the regional, provincial, and global transportation context. Typically, communities update their long-term plans every five to ten years to accurately inform capital planning, policy and programming, ongoing operations, and maintenance, as well as respond to policy directions in the Official Community Plan (OCP) and facilitate communication with regional partners. The STP’s connection to the City’s planning and policy framework is displayed in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1: What is the STP? WHAT IS THE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN?

Each theme contains several strategies and actions that outline steps the City can take to advance the vision and goals.  SECTION 5: IMPLEMENTATION PLAN – outlines how the City will implement the strategies and actions, including anticipate capital costs for the short-, medium-, and long-term horizons. This report also includes three Appendices:  APPENDIX A: Study process  APPENDIX B: Maps  APPENDIX C: Implementation Summary URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 7 - 2.0 S HAPING INFLUENCES The City’s transportation system is shaped by many local and regional factors, including land use , location, demographics, policy context, current and historic mobility trends, and many other key issues that have been identified by the community. This section summarizes the existing conditions and key factors that shape mobility patterns in Maple Ridge. 2.1 WHY TRANSPORTATION MATTERS Transportation networks play a significant role in our daily lives as they influence what mode we choose, how far we need to travel, how long or convenient our trips are, how safe it is, how much it costs, and the experience we have while travelling. Transportation challenges can impact a community in many ways, especially surrounding health, sustainability, and livability. The STP can help the City respond to a number of intersecting and critical challenges, including: • SAFETY: The way our roads and intersections are designed contribute to traffic -related injuries and deaths for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. Safe road design can improve safety and address citizens’ perception of safety. • SUSTAINABILITY: Supporting residents to choose more sustainable modes of transportation is a result of making walking, rolling, cycling, and transit available and attractive. With a shift to more sustainable modes, there can be less congestion, less greenhouse gas emissions, and better air quality , all contributing to meeting our climate action goals. • AFFORDABILITY: Housing and transportation costs are the two largest expenditures for households. Affordable and equitable transit service can enable residents of all incomes and abilities to access necessary services and supports (i.e., employment, education, healthcare, public and social services, and healt hy food) that are critical components to health. • PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: Transportation and urban planning policies can effectively encourage physical activity. With more active transportation and transit options, people can be more active. Being more physicall y active can improve health, increase social interactions and cohesion, as well as reduce rates of obesity, chronic disease, and premature death. • LIVABILITY: Road traffic is the biggest cause of noise in many cities, which can exacerbate stress levels, increase blood pressure, cause sleep disturbance, and negatively affect mental health. Reducing the number of vehicles on the road by creating a positive environment for low-impact transportation options like walking and cycling will help mitigate livability issues. • ECONOMY: An efficient transportation network benefits more than just commuting employees – goods are delivered with ease, customers can access shops more frequently, and the community becomes a sought-after destination for new businesses. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 8 - 2.2 INTEGRATION WITH OTHER PLANS The STP will replace the 2014 STP and will help further inform transportation decisions at different levels of planning, including the vision, goals, strategies and actions of the City’s OCP and area plans. As a result, the STP is closely linked to several other Acts, plans, and policies at the local, regional, provincial, and federal levels. These documents set th e overarching goals, visions, and objectives for land use, transportation, and other key long-term planning considerations in the City and beyond. The STP guides the City’s actions within these parameters. 2.2.1 L OCAL PLANS AND P OLICIES The Official Community Plan outlines a city-wide, long-term vision for a multi-modal transportation network that supports travel by all modes and for people of all abilities. The Official Community Plan also provides the policy framework for creating compact livable communities in high density areas and along transit corridors, such as the Town Centre and Lougheed Transit Corridor. Council’s Strategic Plan 2023-2026 sets outs five strategic priorities for the next four years, which includes creating a livable and healthy community that supports climate leadership and environmental stewardship. The Zoning Bylaw regulates specific uses and density of the property while the Subdivision Bylaw outlines the requirements for development and servicing of the City.

The City has several area plans, which make up part of the Official Community Plan, for Albion, Hammond, North East Albion, Silver Valley, Town Centre, and Lougheed Transit Corridor, which aim to maintain a neighbourhood’s unique context and provide guidance on land use, density, form and character. 2.2.2 R EGIONAL, P ROVINCIAL , AND FEDERAL Regional, Provincial, and Federal governments have established bold targets to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Canada has set a target to cut its GHG emissions by 40 ‑45% below 2005 levels by 2030 and released the National Active Transportation Strategy and supporting National Active Transportation Fund to grow active transportation infrastructure and mode share. The Province’s CleanBC plan includes targets to reduce GHGs to 40% below 2007 levels by 2030, 60% by 2040, and 80% by 2050. To support this, the Province released Move. Commute. Connect.: B.C.’s Active Transportation Strategy with bold targets to double the percentage of trips taken with active transportation by 2030 as a way to help the Province meet its GHG emissions targets . Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategies, Metro 2040 and Metro 2050, define Maple Ridge’s Town Centre as a Regional City Centre, and connects to the Frequent Transit Network via Lougheed Highway and the Golden Ears Bridge. The Urban Containment Boundary, which aims to prevent urban sprawl, aims to limit development and growth in the western communities of Maple Ridge. The Regional Greenway Network also extends several recreational paths through the City, including connections to Golden Ears Park and the Fraser River. TransLink’s Regional Transportation Strategy, Transport 2050, aims have 50% of all trips by active transportation and transit by 2050. To do this, TransLink aims to expand key networks such as the Reliable & Fast Transit Network to Maple R idge via Lougheed Highway and over the Golden Ears Bridge, and the Major Bikeway Network via Lougheed Highway, 203 Street, 128 Avenue, 224 Street, and 232 Street. The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Area Transport Plan recommends four key actions to improve the transportation network in the City, including a Golden Ears Way corridor study, bus priority lanes on Lougheed Highway, future travel demand in North Albion, and a West Coast Express Strategy for an additional station. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 10 - 2.3 COMMUNITY PROFILE The City of Maple Ridge is a community of 90,990 (Statistics Canada 2021 Census) residents in ten neighbourhoods and historic centres that span over more than 260 km2 of land area in the northeastern corner of Metro Vancouver between the Fraser River and the Golden Ears Mountains (Figure 2-1). The City is located on the traditional, ancestral territories of the Katzie and Kwantlen First Nations. The geography provides stunning views and ample outdoor recreation opportunities with urban amenities and access to nearby population centres due to its location along Highway 7, along with the West Coast Express into downtown Vancouver. The City of Maple Ridge is located between the growing communities of the City of Pitt Meadows to the west and the District o f Mission to the east. The City’s proximity to Downtown Vancouver and other employment hubs in the region, as well as its relative affordability has attracted new families to the community at growing rates. As one of the regional district’s most eastern bo rders, Maple Ridge can play a key role in growth management. The City is one of the province’s first municipalities, and has undergone an urban transformation in recent years, but the community still retains its agricultural and small -town roots. Over the last thirty years, Maple Ridge has been one of the fastest growing municipalities in the region, more than doubling its population . It is projected this rapid growth sustain will continue to reach nearly 125,000 people by 2050 (Figure 2-2). Employment in Maple Ridge is expected to grow at a faster rate than population, meaning directionality of traffic will reduce but more pressure will be placed on the local transportation network. In additi on, Maple Ridge is a regional hub for both Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, meaning people from across both regions will travel t o the City to access amenities, employment, key transportation corridors, and public transportation such as the West Coast Express. Density is also increasing in the City, especially in the Town Centre, Central Maple Ridge, West Maple Ridge, and Cottonwood areas; however, half of the projected growth will be in the Town Centre alone. The City’s current plans are to infill grow th along the Lougheed Highway corridor and Town Centre.

Approximately 18% of Maple Ridge residents were 14 or younger in 2021, compared to 15% across Metro Vancouver.1 This points to the importance of the transportation network connecting schools and transit with the densest parts of the City. In addition, the City’s current largest adult population cohort is between the ages of 50-54 years. This age cohort, along with others from the ‘Baby Boom’ generation are likely to require enhanced transportation options in the coming years. The City needs to balance the transportation priorities of all ages and abilities. 1 Source: Statistic Canada Census Data 0 20,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 100,000 120,000 140,000 1991 1996 2001 2006 2011 2017 2035 2050 Nu m b e r o f P e o p l e POPULATION GROWTH AND PROJECTIONS (1991-2050) Historic Projected Figure 2-2: Population Growth Source: Statistics Canada Census Data (Historic) Regional Transportation Demand Model (Projection) URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 13 - Maple Ridge is home to many rivers, lakes, trails, and parks such as the Alouette River and Golden Ears Provincial Park , and approximately 15% is Agricultural Land Reserve and 60% is forested area. The community is well-known for its beautiful and diverse landscape, but the natural barriers present unique challenges to growing and mainta ining an efficient transportation system, especially amid rapid population growth. Changing terrains and grades, especially those in the north and east, can be challenging for active transportation, transit, and heavy vehicles. 2.4 TRANSPORTATION PATTERNS Understanding the way Maple Ridge residents travel offers evidence and insight as to how to best addr ess current and potential transportation issues. This section summarizes key travel patterns based on the most recent information from TransLink’s (2017) Regional Trip Diary Survey, including mode share, trip distance, trip purpose, and demographics. HOW MUCH DO WE TRAVEL? Maple Ridge residents make more than 270,000 trips each day – or around 3.1 trips per person per day – travelling an average of 40 km daily. In Metro Vancouver, the average vehicle kilometres traveled (VKT) per day is 18 km per capita, whereas Maple Ridge residents travel 31 km per capita per day. The number of trips per day and per capita are increasing over time, in addition to the percentage of trips using automobiles. WHY DO WE TRAVEL? Most daily trips made by Maple Ridge residents are to work or post-secondary school (31%) and for shopping or personal business (30%). 17% of trips are for social, recreational, or dining purposes. HOW DO WE TRAVEL? Over 90% of daily trips made by Maple Ridge residents are by motor vehicle, which has been increasing over time (from 87% in 2011), while mode share for passengers, transit, walking, and cycling has been decreasing. This is a different trend than most of the Metro Vancouver region, where mode share for driving has been decreasing over time. Maple Ridge has a lower sustainable transportation mode share (9%) than many Metro Vancouver municipalities.

Another 28% of trips originating in Maple Ridge are destined to locations west or south of the City and use the constrained western gatew ay around Golden Ears Way / Lougheed Highway or the West Coast Express. The most common destinations outside of the City are Pitt Meadows (6%) and Coquitlam/Port Coquitlam/Port Moody (7%).

It reviewed the community context, travel patterns, and infrastructure and performance for each mode of transportation. Some of the key overarching findings include:  The community’s aspirations for transportation in Maple Ridge are safe, efficient, connected, green / sustainable, fast, affordable, improved infrastructure, less congestion, and reliable. During engagement, the community communicated a vision of a transportation network that meets the needs of people of all ages and abilities and all modes, and that creates more connectivity and reliability, results in safer roads for vulnerable users, and increases livability through integrated land use, connections to nature, and less noise and pollution.  Growth creates opportunities to provide high quality transportation amenities and address network gaps. Recent growth in population and employment combined with high driver mode share have increased the pressure on the transportation system. Survey respondents noted that congestion is a top priority for the STP, as it results in long commutes and a lower quality of life. Roadways that had been designed for low or rural traffic are increasingly serving development traffic. Gaps in pedestrian and cycling infrastructure are increasingly important as traffic volumes grow. Congestion has also caused delays for transit, reducing the attractiveness of transit as a mode of transportation. At the same time, new development – both infill and greenfield – are an opportunity to provide safe, comfortable walking and cycling infrastr ucture, to facilitate transit priority, and to right-size roadways and parking to improve the transportation system for everyone.  As the Town Centre evolves, it is important to invest in a safe and comfortable transportation network that meets the needs of people of all ages and abilities. The Town Centre is home to many of Maple Ridge’s senior and low-income households. This area was also identified as having some intersections with potential safety issues, as well as growing vehic le delay. The cycling network to and through the Town Centre is discontinuous and there are some remaining gaps in the walking network. There are opportunities to ensure that lighting, accessibility, and transit -supportive amenities in and around the Town Centre are high quality and support mode choice for everyone. Survey respondents noted that safety, accessibility, and affordability are important to making Maple Ridge a livable place, and that the current transportation network is not necessarily meeting all of these needs.  There is growing pressure on the western gateway of the City for all modes of transportation. As the population of Maple Ridge continues to grow and more trips are made by driving, traffic congestion and queues have increase d at the western boundary of the City. Survey respondents noted they travel to Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, and Surrey, and typically by car because transit, walking, and cycling are not feasible alternatives at this time. This has resulted in growing delay for transit riders along with delay for private vehicles and goods movement. As traffic volumes have increased, people walking and cycling have been exposed to more traffic. Connections and land uses have also evolved – and continue to evolve – on the URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 17 - western side of the City, including the elimination of tolls on the Golden Ears Bridge, growing density, the introduction of the R3 RapidBus, and potential changes to roadway connections in Pitt Meadows. Regionally, a safe and comfortable bicycle route suitable for people of all ages an abilities is required through this busy area, which is particularly important as trips by all modes continue to grow.  Current transportation trends are unlikely to result in the City meeting its emissions targets from transportation. The number, distance, and share of driving trips has increased, and survey respondents felt that driving was the top priority for the STP. To reduce transportation emissions, the number of vehicle kilometres travel ed must be reduced and a greater share of those trips must be made by electric vehicles. There is an opportunity to increase electrification while also making walking, cycling, and transit trips more safe, comfortable, and efficient. In addition, most respondents (53%) noted they work or attend school outside of Maple Ridge, meaning there is an opportunity to continue to grow employment and education opportunities in the City.  The City’s large land mass in contrast to its population, along with drainage constraints, make it difficult to address all network gaps in a short time frame. The City has a large transportation network because of it’s relatively large size. At the same time, the geography and drainage challenges make some types of infrastructure relatively expensive. Potential improvements must be prioritized and targeted where they are most likely to help the City meet its overarching goals and objectives. This may include focusing on areas and along corridors where transportation choice is most likely to result in mode shift, in higher density areas, and / or serving seniors, youth and other vulnerable populations.  Transportation technology and infrastructure is changing. Ridehailing has been established in Maple Ridge since the last STP and future parking and loading strategies will need to consider the needs of ridehailing in addition to traditional modes. Emerging modes, such as micromobility and automated vehicles create opportunities, but also require careful policy consideration to address possible negative outcomes and conflicts with other modes. Survey respondents felt that there are currently limited transportation options in Maple Ridge, and that modes that would reduce travel times and increase convenience would be appreciated. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 18 - 3.0 F UTURE D IRECTIONS This section describes the future directions for transportation in Maple Ridge. It is based on the results of technical work on existing and future conditions, broader policy directions, and input from the public, stakeholders, and Council. The STP’s framework is based on an overarching vision statement and six goals that set the direction for more specific proposed long-term network plans and strategic directions for each mode of transportation. The long-term networks and strategic directions are organized into seven themes that advance the vision and goals. The specific strategies and actions of the STP articulate how to achieve the goals and vision. 3.1 VISION AND GOALS A vision statement is a picture and inspirational framework for the City’s future, especially in the context of transportation. A vision statement will influence how and where the City allocates its resources. The vision for the STP is: By 2050, Maple Ridge’s transportation system is safe, efficient, connected, accessible, and sustainable. Residents, visitors, and businesses can meet their daily transportation needs reliably and comfortably using their mode of choice. Feedback from public and stakeholder consultation in Phase 3 indicated support for the vision statement, with more than 60% of respondents indicating that the vision statement was good or excellent at aligning with their own vision for the future of transportation in Maple Ridge. Goals provide the STP more specific direction to understand which strategies, actions, and investments best align with the community’s desired outcomes and address the most pressing existing issues. The goals align with the vision and are intended to reflect the desired outcomes expressed by the public, stakeholders, and Council. They reflect the core themes of safe, connected, efficient and reli able, accessible, sustainable, and cost- Figure 3-1: Goals & Themes -----1-11 A safe transportation system where people and goods can move comfortably A connected transportation system where neighbours can meet, businesses can thrive , and people and goods can move within our community An efficient and reliable transportation system that allows people to get to their destinations on time An accessible transportation system where people of all ages, abilities and incomes can comfortably reach their destination A sustainable transportation system that is connected to nature and minimizes environmental impacts A cost effective transportation system where municipal expenditures have a high return on investment URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 19 - effective transportation that were common throughout the review of existing policy and consultation. All of these goals had strong support with the public with between 73% and 95% of respondents supporting each of th e goals. Achieving the goals of the STP will shift travel patterns and have positive outcomes on other City priorities, including redu cing GHGs. A safe, connected, reliable, accessible, sustainable, and cost-effective transportation system is expected to have a lower proportion of trips by driving, reduce vehicle kilometres travelled per person, and to produce fewer GHGs. Road capacity increases are costly and may conflict with other priorities, including livability and land -use goals; increasing road capacity can also induce demand. Because of these outcomes, decreasing driving mode share is a key lever to improving efficiency and reliability, as w ell as achieving other STP goals. Transportation outcomes and GHG emissions are influenced by multiple factors, including land-use, policy, economics, public infrastructure, and human behaviour. The strategies and actions contained in the STP are expected to drive positive change; however, because of the complex influences noted above, the City is taking a comprehensive approach to address climate change as part of the Climate Action Plan, which is under development at the time of publication of the STP. 3.2 THEMES Phase 1 and 2 of the STP identified issues, opportunities, and gaps in transportation in Maple Ridge. The strategic directions and long - term networks seek to address these issues and gaps and to leverage opportunities by moving towards the future envisioned by the vision and goals. As illustrated in Figure 3-2 the strategic directions and long-term networks are organized according to seven themes, all of which will be advanced in service of the goals of a safe, connected, reliable, accessible, sustainable, and cost-effective transportation system in Maple Ridge. Figure 3-2: Thematic Areas & Goals URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 20 - 4.0 T HEMES, S TRATEGIES, AND A CTIONS This section presents the seven themes that organize the strategic directions and long -term networks. Each of the themes contains several strategies and actions that outline the steps to be taken by the City to work towards the vision and goals. Key input to the development of these themes, strategies, and actions includes existing policy, input from the public, stakeholders, and Council. The seven themes are to be advanced in service of the goals of a safe, connected, reliable, accessible, sustainable, and cost - effective transportation system in Maple Ridge. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 21 - THEME 1 COMPLETE COMMUNITIES In a complete community, residents can meet most of their basic needs within their neighbourhood. Complete communities2 are places where community schools, meeting places, grocery stores, jobs, and services are close and connected enough that people living in all types of housing can choose to walk, roll, or bike. The Strategic Transportation Plan’s goals of a safe, connected, efficient and reliable, accessible, sustainable, and cost-effective transportation system can best be met by starting with the foundation of complete and connected communities. Complete communities benefit residents, employees, employers, visitors, and can help achieve broad community goals. People living in complete communities typically travel shorter distances to reach their destinations and may be more likely to choose walking and cycling as their primary modes of transportation. Higher density complete communities can place more people and destinations within walking distance of frequent and rapid transit. Other benefits of complete communities include lower greenhouse gas emissions per capita, increased personal safety through having more ‘eyes on the street’, improved access for seniors and low- income households, and improved comfort and vibrancy relative to other built forms. Complete communities offer an opportunity to provide more high-quality public spaces that use Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. CPTED is an approach to planning and designing communities that reduces opportunities for crime, and through the application of its design principles, ensuring people feel safe when they travel. 2 Complete communities are also known by other names, including 15 minute communities. Metro2040 Dashboard Healthy & Complete Communities “Complete communities offer a mix of housing to accommodate people at all stages of life, a good range of jobs, and easy access to stores and services to meet daily needs. They also provide residents with choices about how to get to, from and around their neighbourhood. Complete communities exist at different scales across the region – from small neighbourhoods to medium and large Urban Centres, from historic and rural communities to new developments near frequent transit.” - Metro Vancouver (http://www.metrovancouver.org/metro2040/complete- communities/connected-communities/Pages/default.aspx) People First Streets The Transformative Actions in Transport 2050 include transforming roads that have been designed primarily for private cars into people-first streets that are designed for everyone. These streets feature reduced motor vehicle speeds and greater separation of different modes and speeds. People first streets complement complete communities by creating places where all people – including people with disabilities and people using transit, cycling, walking, or rolling – feel safe, comfortable, and connected. - Adapted from Transport 2050. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 22 - Regional documents plan for – and outline the benefits of – complete communities. Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy, Metro 2050 includes a strategy to ‘Develop resilient, healthy, connected, and complete communi ties with a range of services and amenities. It identifies a network of Urban Centres – including the Regional City Centre in Maple Ridge – that are complete communities with a “balanced mix of housing, employment, services and amenities.”3 Transport 2050 – TransLink’s Regional Transportation Strategy focuses investment in rapid and frequent transit to Urban Centres and Frequent Transit Development Areas. Strong walking and cycling networks in complete communities focus on connecting people to their everyday destinations. This also aligns with the principles of People First Streets, as outlined in Transport 2050 . Building complete communities is an objective in Maple Ridge, identified in approved Area Plan documents, the OCP and area planning documents currently under review such as the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area Plan. The Strategic Transportation Plan includes strategies and actions that complement the City’s planning documents and ensure that transportation infrastructure a nd policy meet the needs of residents and visitors in Complete Communities. Strategy 1.1: Link land use, transportation, livability, and climate actions to support a complete, communities. Land use and transportation are inherently linked and influence the way people travel. Complete communities are core to achieving the goals of the STP. This strategy focuses on actions that connect land use and multi-modal transportation improvements to ensure there are a range of convenient and comfortable travel choices close to where people live, work, and play. This will contribute to improved livability, vibrancy, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, while allowing the City to inves t in transportation infrastructure in a cost-effective way. The City has been implementing complete communities through policies such as the OCP, neighbourhood plans, and Council’s Strategic Plan. Growth must be concentrated near community amenities and services, and along rapid and frequent transit corridors to meet the objectives of the OCP and other guiding documents. This has led to the focus on densification, complete communities, and comfortable transportation connections in the Town Centre and Lougheed Transit Corridor areas. The Strategic Transportation Plan supports these documents by including actions to align transportation policy with land use policy, ensuring that transportation infrastructure enables walking, cycling, rolling, and taking transit in these and other developing communities. 3 Metro 2050: Regional Growth Strategy (2022) URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 23 - Action 1.1.1 In accordance with current City planning documents, concentrate growth and density along the Lougheed Transit Corridor and within the Town Centre to create opportunities to walk, cycle, and use transit. The Town Centre neighbourhood is identified as a Regional City Cen tre in Metro 2050 and important destination on the future Major Transit Network (MTN) that is established in Transport 2050 . The identification of the Town Centre as a Regional City Centre recognizes its role as a service hub for the Maple Ridge / Pitt Meadows subarea, as well as the opportunity for further evolution into a complete community through concentrated growth and development. Metro 2050 also identifies Lougheed Highway from Maple Ridge Town Centre to Coquitlam as a regional Major Transit Growth Corridor (MTGC) and Frequent Transit Development Area (FTDA). In support of these designations, Transport 2050 identified this corridor for investment in future rapid transit as part of the MTN. The Lougheed Transit Corridor Area Plan (in development) and Town Centre Area Plan seek to concentrate growth along Lougheed Highway in the Regional City Centre and within the catchment area of the Lougheed Transit Corridor. The area targeted for densification extends from Burnett Street in the east to the Pitt Meadows border the west. These plans allow for multi-family housing and an increased density of destinations and services within a ten-minute walk of rapid transit, linking rapid transit and land use to create complete communities that also have comfortable, frequent, and convenient transit service. The plans encourage commercial mixed-use and transit corridor multi-family land uses surrounding future rapid transit station nodes at 203 Street and Laity Street (Figure 4-1) and the Regional City Centre (Figure 4-2).

The intent is to deliver communities that have a well-designed public realm, higher-density homes located near commercial uses, a diversity of land uses, well -connected streets that reduce walking distances, complete walking and cycling connections, and access control along arterial roadways .4 4 Achieving access control may require both closure of existing accesses and the provision of parallel local roads and / or lanes as outlined in Theme 6. Figure 4-3: TransLink Transit- Oriented Communities Design Guidelines Source: TransLink (2012) Growing Together: Public Engagement Outcomes and Recommendations for Maple Ridge’s Town Centre (2022) Growing Together recognizes that Maple Ridge has grown and evolved since the adoption of the Town Centre Area Plan in 2008 and provides renewed implementation guidance that aligns with the original vision. The recommendations from the public engagement process that was undertaken as part of Growing Together include creating walkable streets, a well-connected cycling network, planting more street trees and green spaces, a stronger connection to the river, and safety improvements intended to enhance vibrancy. Transit Corridor Development Permit Guidelin es. (2022) The look and feel of the future built environment within the draft Lougheed Transit Corridor Area Plan is driven by the Lougheed Transit Corridor Development Permit Guidelines. The guidelines include provisions for pedestrian and bicycle access, bicycle parking, and pedestrian-scale design and treatments to make those land uses surrounding the transit nodes accessible, comfortable, and enjoyable for non-auto modes. It is important to implement infrastructure and developments that consider non-auto modes, especially near transit nodes, to encourage complete communities. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 27 - Action 1.1.2 Continue to investigate opportunities for infill commercial and institutional development, as well as advocating for improved internet connectivity in existing predominately single -family neighbourhoods. Many of the City’s existing predominately single -family neighbourhoods are relatively new and not intended to redevelop within the time horizon of this plan. Linking land use, transportation, livability, and climate actions in these neighbourhoods relies on more incremental action and investment in existing assets and community destinations. As part of this action, the City will:  Focus on improving comfort and connectivity for walking and biking to existing community destinations, including schools.  Partner with other levels of governments, developers, and other organizations to add elements of a complete community, such as childcare, plazas, parklets, and community facilities .  Partner with community members to consider and implement features like traffic calming and traffic diversion though the Traffic Calming Policy.  Continue to promote fast and reliable internet connections in all areas of the City so that employees in industries that support remote or hybrid (in person and remote work) can choose to work remotely and reduce the number of peak hour vehicle trips. Working from home can reduce traffic volumes in the most congested time periods COVID-19 resulted in a societal shift towards working from home for some types of employees. In many cities around the world both motor vehicle traffic volumes and transit use decreased by 50% or more throughout much of 2020. Regional traffic count data in Metro Vancouver indicated that daily traffic volumes returned to within 10% of pre-pandemic levels by May of 2020; however, peak hour traffic volumes have remained below January 2020 levels. Communities can benefit when some residents choose to work from home full- or part-time. Global experience indicates that when peak hour vehicle trips decrease, residents may have more time and money to invest in their local communities. Enabling work from home requires fast and reliable internet connections for all residents in the City. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 28 - Action 1.1.3 Update Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800-1933 to ensure new and improved streets follow Complete Streets principles, all ages and ability cycling practices, and Universal Design practices for pedestrians. Standards and industry practices for roadway design have evolved with research focusing on active modes and supportive land use strategies for communities. In particular, the design approach for cycling facilities and pedestrian accessibility measures have changed rapidly in the last ten years. It is good practice to regularly review and update design criteria, specifications, and other elements of design standards that guide the design of new and improved streets by developers and the City. This practice reduces the need for – and complexity of – future retrofit projects and improves comfort for all road users. Because Maple Ridge has several neighbourhoods constructed in automobile focused eras (1950’s to 1990’s), many existing roads do not meet current standards for active transportation modes. Reconstructing all roadways is not feasible; however, where there are opportunities to move towards improving existing facilities through development, targeted capital projects, or other City priorities, the design and delivery of roadways should be informed by updated design guidelines, as set out in Bylaw No. 4800-1993. Some roadways may require exceptions to design standards, desirable road cross-section elements, or typical minimums due to localized constraints, needs, and challenges. Although this strategy focuses on Complete Communities, updating rural cross-sections to facilitate comfortable walking and cycling connections is also important and addressed in the B.C. Active Transportation Design Guidelines. The update of Bylaw No. 4800-1933 should include both urban and rural cross-sections. Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800-1993 The City’s Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800-1993 sets out the requirements of developers as they deliver new buildings and neighbourhoods. This bylaw includes typical cross- sections and transportation design guidance for new neighbourhoods, for frontages along the boundaries of development, and is often used to inform the design of other transportation projects. Although the City may require different approaches in specific neighbourhoods or along key corridors, a multimodal approach to design standards that is informed by the B.C. Active Transportation design guidelines and evolving industry best practices will move the City towards it’s vision and goals. B.C. Active Transportation Design Guide (2019) The Province of British Columbia released the B.C. Active Transportation Design Guide to ensure consistent active transportation facility design across B.C. The document provides guidance and recommendations for the planning, selection, design, implementation, and maintenance of active transportation facilities across the province. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 29 - Action 1.1.4 Partner with the development community to deliver complete, comfortable, and connected walking and cycling facilities, high-quality transit amenities, and high-quality urban design and placemaking features, particularly in higher density, mixed-use areas. Complete communities that support trips by walking, cycling, and transit must have both a good complement of housing an d destinations (i.e. complete land uses) and a comfortable and connected network of walking, cycling, and transit infrastructur e (i.e. complete transportation) to meet the City’s goals. Transportation investment in higher density, mixed use locations are likely to see higher use, making them more cost-effective transportation investments. For developers to partner with the City to effectively deliver walking and cycling connections, transit amenities, intersection improvements, and a high-quality public realm in the context of complete communities, the City must provide clear direction on both the broader vision and specific requirements to ensure that individual sites come together to provide a unified and complete network that meets the City’s broader goal s. As part of this action, the City will:  Work with developers to deliver high-quality, comfortable active transportation infrastructure in infill development. The City can require land developers and property owners to provide street improvements when properties are developed via rezoning or subdivision. Through this mechanism, the City will ensure that frontage and road design meets the City’s multi-modal needs and goals.  Provide guidance and certainty to developers through the development of right-of-way conceptual designs for: o Lougheed Transit Corridor area, o Town Centre area, and o Key transportation corridors (per Theme 2).  Continue to identify areas where property acquisition or easements would support the building out or enhancement of road, pedestrian and bicycle networks.  For infill areas and existing infrastructure, prioritize investment in higher density, mixed use areas through: o Shorter spacing between active transportation infrastructure. o Considering opportunities to decrease the distance between accessible crossings, including shorter blocks and mid - block crossings where appropriate. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 30 - Action 1.1.5 Ensure that City capital projects, including utility improvements and civic institutions work towards comfortable walking and cycling infrastructure. Municipal and regional infrastructure are often located in transportation corridors. Roadways are often reconstructed as part of regular maintenance, replacement, and expansion programs, providing an opportunity to replace the roadway with an improved cross-section when the project is completed. The City is also responsible for delivering and maintaining other City services and facilities, including asset management and maintenance, parks and recreational facilities, cultural facilities, community centres, and other infrastructure. When the City is constructing or rehabilitating new buildings, transportation network improvements on frontage roadways will typically be considered as part of the overall capital works. Parks projects can provide direct walking and cycling connections that address network gaps, improve existing facilities, or provide new or improved connections to natural and recreation destinations. Road rehabilitation projects can be leveraged to widen and / or improve asphalt shoulders or redesignate existing travel lane space to other modes. As part of this action, the City will:  Review municipal and regional projects from a transportation perspective and seek opportunities for improvements identified in the STP.  Seek opportunities to provide small improvements where larger projects are not feasible, including wider shoulders, bolt - down curbs, and painted buffers.  Integrate the guidance provided in the B.C. Active Transportation Guidelines and from the Transportation Association of Canada. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 31 - THEME 2 KEY CORRIDORS Roadway corridors are the framework that support the movement of most people and goods in Maple Ridge. Within each road corridor, space is assigned to different functions, including mobility for goods and people, access to property, gathering spaces, landscaping, stormwater management, and parking. The combination of functions on each roadway and the specific design of the space is guided by the roadway classification, historic build outs, transit networks, access needs, and physical constraints. As the City works to further develop and deliver a multi-modal transportation network, there are key corridors that will play a central role in meeting the goals of the STP. These corridors require improvements across multiple modes of transportation and more detailed consideration of opportunities, and challenges. This theme brings together improvements and needs identified through the walking, cycling, transit, and driving themes to provide unified approaches for key corridors. Strategy 2.1: Design and deliver multi-modal transportation and public realm improvements along key corridors that will move the City towards its overall goals and objectives. The actions contained in this strategy are focused on infrastructure improvements along key corridors to deliver a complete and connected transportation network. Each of the actions in this section focuses on a specific corridor and outlines the long -term intent for that corridor, included recommended cross-section elements, key trade-offs and challenges, partnerships, and next steps. The actions also identify locations and types of intersection improvements to be included in the design of improvements along the key corridors. These intersections were identified through the roadway work described in Theme 6. The changes identified are subjected to future design and may be delivered all at once or in stages by the City or key partners, including MOTI, TransLink, or through development. The key corridors are illustrated in Figure 4-4 and recommendations are summarized in Table 4-1. The information included in Table 4-1 is preliminary and to be confirmed through further review and design development.

Providing complete and accessible pedestrian connections – particularly within complete communities – reduces automobile dependence, congestion, and emissions, and improves community health and livability. Approximately 17 % of trips made by Maple Ridge drivers12 are less than 2 km long and may be suitable for walking. This theme includes strategies and actions to create a more walkable community for people of all ages and abilities, focusing on the areas where people are most likely to walk for transportation. Strategy 3.1: Complete community connections to ensure residents can walk to important destinations like schools, commercial areas, community centres, and transit. Community connections allow people to comfortably walk or roll to the daily destinations in their neighbourhoods, like schools, shops, and services. Maple Ridge is geographically large compared to many other cities in the lower mainland, with many histori c neighbourhoods where roadways were not built with sidewalks. Approximately 35% of roadways have pedestrian facilities (sidewalks or multi-use pathways) on one or both sides of the street. Given the scale of sidewalk gaps in the City, this strategy focuses on completing the pedestrian connections that are likely to serve the most walking trips , resulting in cost-effective investment in walking that is aligned with the focus on Complete Communities explored in Theme 1. Key walking destinations include schools, commercial areas, community centres, and transit. 11 In the context of the walking network, rolling refers to the use of wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and powered wheelchairs to travel as a pedestrian. Other rolling modes include bicycles (electric, human-powered, cargo, and / or velomobiles (addressed in Section 3.3.2), and scooters, e-scooters, electric mopeds, and other micromobility devices (addressed in Section 3.3.5). 12 According to the 2017 TransLink Trip Diary. What is ‘Universal Design’? Universal design refers to the design of products, environments, programs, and services to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized modifications. Universal design ensures that the built environment is accessible to people of all ages and abilities, regardless of any type of physical or cognitive challenge. Universal design is a fundamental design principle that has been applied throughout the Plan. It is specifically embedded in changes to overall design guidance (Action 1.1.3) and a comfortable and accessible pedestrian network (Action 3.2.1). WALKING/ ROLLING • ~~~ URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 39 - Action 3.1.1 Fill in the gaps in the pedestrian network, prioritizing pedestrian facility investments in locations with the highest potential for use. The City will partner with MOTI, TransLink, property owners, and other organizations to address connectivity gaps in the sidewalk network. The intent of this action is to work towards a connected walking network where there is a continuous accessible walk ing route to most destinations, prioritizing complete communities where there is the highest potential for walking. To assess pedestrian infrastructure needs, each roadway in Maple Ridge was assigned a priority based on the following factors:  Road classification  Proximity to transit  Proximity to schools  Population density  Demographics of neighbourhood (presence of seniors, youth, and low-income households)  Contribution to a connected pedestrian network The infrastructure priorities were compared to the existing pedestrian infrastructure to identify locations for investment in pedestrian facilities – which may include trails and / or sidewalks – within the 2050 time horizon. The proposed changes were modified following public and stakeholder consultation to reflect community and partner input where feasible and aligned with the STP goals. The long-term pedestrian network is illustrated in Figure 4-5. The walking network may also include some components of the off-street pathway system. New walking connections can be sidewalks or multi -use pathways that are shared with cyclists and other users. Walking connections can be implemented in four primary ways:  City initiated walking improvements are delivered by the City through capital projects. These types of projects may include broader corridor construction (per Theme 2), be integrated into other City and regional infrastructure projects (e.g. stormwater or utility improvements), or be targeted pedestrian infrastructure projects. Investments may be funded by the City’s capital budget, through Development Cost Charges as part of new roadways or road widening, or through grants and partnerships.  MOTI initiated walking improvements along infrastructure owned and operated by the Province. This is expected to include Lougheed Highway between the boundary with Pitt Meadows and 222 Street as explored in Action 2.1.2 and Haney Bypass, as explored in Action 2.1.5.  Developer initiated walking improvements, which will be required through redevelopment as per the City’s area plans, subdivision servicing bylaw, relevant development permit guidelines, and other documents as required by the City. All developments are expected to provide suitable walking facilities along the full frontage of the pro perty – including those not identified in Figure 4-5. Pedestrian requirements associated with development are explored further throughout this Theme.  Resident initiated sidewalks, where residents can request a sidewalk through the Local Area Service improvement Process. Residents may partner with their neighbours to fund a sidewalk to connect the street they live on to the broader walking network.

Development can transform and create communities and the type, connectivity, and quality of public realm delivered through development will directly influence the City’s ability to meet the goals of the STP. The City has a number of areas that have been identified for potential redevelopment, as well as areas that are suitable for greenfield development. Direct pedestrian connections support a walkable community by making walking trips shorter. TransLink’s Transit Oriented Communities Design Guidelines (2012) include Distance as the second of six ‘Ds’ of transit oriented design. Short walking (and cycling) distances enable people to walk (or cycle) to destinations in their community and to transit services for longer tri ps. The existing road network in Maple Ridge includes locations where local roads end in cul-de-sacs and / or crescents and long street blocks where pedestrians are not able to follow the most direct path between destinations. For both infill areas and new communities, developments should provide a dense and con nected grid of publicly accessible active transportation connections. In infill areas, this may include dedicated transportation right-of-way to provide an active transportation connection that shortens the travel path between to or more existing roadways. As part of this action, the City will:  Work with developers to ensure new communities feature high intersection density and a connected internal street network.  Work with developers to identify active transportation connections, including pathways and cu t-throughs that provide the most direct travel path between destinations.  Ensure that street frontages delivered by development meet or exceed guidance provided by appliable area plans, development permit guidelines, and public realm guidance. This is explored further in Strategy 3.2 and Strategy 3.3.  Ensure that street frontages and new cut-throughs are accessible, include adequate lighting, and follow CTPED principles. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 42 - Action 3.1.3 Work with public agencies and other institutions (e.g. schools, hospitals, etc.) to ensure that new projects are designed and oriented to prioritize walking to community destinations and that new and existing sites provide pathway connections whenever feasible. Public agencies, including school districts, health authorities, utility companies, and religious organizations often own l arge parcels of land that serve both as key community destinations and on a desire line for through travel. The City can partner with thes e organization to ensure that there is comfortable, connected walking infrastructure leading to and through these site s, where feasible, secure, and appropriate. The City will:  Look for opportunities to partner to create public easements on institutional land through redevelopment or where new institutions are being constructed.  Work with agencies and organizations developing institutional land to ensure sites are designed and oriented to prioritize walking and meet guidance in the B.C. Active Transportation Design Guide.  Look for opportunities to partner with institutions to improve walking connectivity on, around, and through existing large sites where feasible, secure, and appropriate. Action 3.1.4 Enhance trails and pathways, identifying greenway corridors and formalizing connections between community destinations and creating opportunities to recreate within the City. Access to nature is an important component of the City’s OCP. The City is home to many regional, provincial, and local parks that attract visitors from across the municipality, region, and beyond. As part of this action, the City will seek to work with partners to improve transportation connections that align with greenways and connections to parks along the following corridors:  Fern Crescent connection to Golden Ears Provincial Park  Lower Hammond dyke connections using alternate routing identified as primary and secondary cycling networks in Theme 3 (new Hammond neighbourhood off-street pathway, Lorne Ave, Maple Crescent, Westfield Ave, Golf Lane, Steeves Street, 117 Avenue, 216 Street, Lougheed Highway.  Silver Valley connection via 136 Avenue to the dyke system  Bonsonworth Avenue / Grant Avenue / 108 Avenue connection to Whonnock Lake. The City will also partner with regional organizations to improve wayfinding along key pedestrian corridors, the Regional Greenway Network and between the Regional Greenway Network and destinations in Maple Ridge. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 43 - Strategy 3.2: Prioritize personal safety and comfort by ensuring walking infrastructure is comfortable and accessible, including improved crossings and lighting. Addressing linear gaps in sidewalks and pathways is one component of improving the pedestrian network. A comfortable and accessible pedestrian network also follows Universal Design principles for accessibility. This strategy focuses on actions by the City to improve the comfort and accessibility of walking in Maple Ridge. Action 3.2.1 Implement Universal Design, including accessible curb ramps, detectable warning surfaces, and audible pedestrian signals. Universal Design principles ensure that the transportation network is accessible to people of all ages and abilities, including people with reduced mobility, vision, hearing, strength, dexterity, and comprehension. Design elements that can improve accessibility include:  Pedestrian throughfares that are minimum 1.8 m and free from obstructions.  Ensuring surfaces are smooth, firm, slip-resistant, free of tripping hazards, and well maintained year-round.  Accessible curb ramps.  Frequent resting spots, especially on uphill segments.  Detectable warning surfaces.  Audible pedestrian signals  Signals that always provide a pedestrian phase with well located and easy to activate pedestrian push buttons  Pedestrian-scale lighting  Intuitive wayfinding There are many locations in the City where historic planning and design does not reflect Universal Design principles. As outlined in Action 1.1.3, Bylaw 4800-1993: Subdivision & Development Servicing Bylaw, should be updated to reflect these principles, which will ensure their use in development-driven road network improvements. Beyond this, improvements to key corridors and new pedestrian infrastructure projects by the City and others will follow these principles. As part of this Action, the City will:  Ensure key corridors and other transportation improvement projects are planned and designed with Universal Design principles in mind.  Work with TransLink to improve accessibility and connections to West Coast Express stations  Improve accessibility in the Town Centre and Lougheed Transit Corridor Area, as explored further in Strategy 3.3. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 44 - Action 3.2.2 Provide new crossing opportunities to support a connected pedestrian network where warranted. Direct pedestrian connections, including mid-block crossings and cut-throughs, support a connected pedestrian network. The City will assess locations identified through continuation of their annual pedestrian crossing assessment program, input from the public, and other studies to identify locations where mid -block crossings are warranted as per criteria established by the Transportation Association of Canada . As discussed in Action 3.1.2 and Action 3.1.3, the City will partner to identify cut-throughs and connections that will shorten walking distances. Action 3.2.3 Continue to support community and regional organizations in their initiatives to promote walking, such as Safe Routes to Schools, walking clubs and pedestrian safety education. The City supports programs and organizations that foster walking in Maple Ridge with a special focus on walking to school. As part of this action, the City will continue to support these programs as they evolve over time. Strategy 3.3: Invest and partner for a walkable Regional City Centre and Lougheed Transit Corridor Area to ensure most trips in these areas can be comfortably and safely made by walking. As explored in Theme 1, people are most likely to walk where there is both a complete community of homes and destinations and a complete and connected walking network. Existing historic neighbourhoods of Maple Ridge have a high potential for walking; however, the sidewalk network in these neighbourhoods is often discontinuous. Investment in these areas will benefit existing residents and businesses while also leveraging development to create complete, connected and walkable communities. Future rapid transit along Lougheed Highway also creates an opportunity to facilitate more people walking to transit to complete longer trips. Investment in walking in the Town Centre and along the Lougheed Transit Corridor is aligned with the City’s priorities . The Town Centre area of Maple ridge is a Regional City Centre and has existing and future conditions to support growing walking trips. The Town Centre is also an important location for seniors and low -income households, with the area having the highest proportion of both groups in Maple Ridge. Providing comfortable and accessible walking facilities will address existing equity gaps by connecting these residents to community destinations and transit and enabling essential trips. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 45 - Action 3.3.1 Address sidewalk gaps and improve and accessibility in the Town Centre and the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area. Gaps in the comfort, accessibility, and connectivity of the pedestrian network in the Town Centre and the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area will limit the City’s ability to meet it’s goals. Action 3.1.1 identified long-term walking network improvements; planned improvements within the Town Centre and Lougheed Transit Corridor Area will be prioritized in implementation planning. Additional improvements will result from developer delivered frontage improvements. The type, cross-section width, and quality of pedestrian and public realm design should exceed minimum requirements where feasible in these areas, including wider pedestrian throughfares, building frontages that are suitable for activ ation,, wide boulevards with street trees and furniture, and high-quality pedestrian-scale lighting. Vehicle access (driveways) onto arterial and major collector roadways should be limited to reduce conflicts with pedestrians (and cyclists). Beyond these connections, the Town Centre and Lougheed Transit Corridor Area are particularly important as accessible and comfortable pedestrian and public realm areas. Accessibility, lighting, and wayfinding are important as these areas emerge as vibrant, complete, and connected communities. As part of this action, the City will:  Prioritize addressing sidewalk gaps in the Town Centre and the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area  Develop specific guidance for developers in these areas outlining a requirement to deliver pedestrian facilities and amenities that exceed the minimum guidelines set in Bylaw 4800-199313 wherever feasible.  Review existing gaps in pedestrian accessibility in these areas and continue to address gaps over time.  Create a wayfinding plan for these areas, including direction to heritage and river destinations, branding and direction for the civic core ring route, direction to the West Coast Express and Rapid Transit, and wayfinding for other destinations.  Follow the guidance for the pedestrian and the public realm provided in the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area Development Permit Guidelines, the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area Plan, the Town Centre Area Plan, and Growing Together. 13 As updated through Action 1.1.3. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 46 - Action 3.3.2 Work with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and developers to construct new pedestrian infrastructure and enhance existing infrastructure on Lougheed Highway. Lougheed is a central connection through both the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area and the Town Centre and essential fo r pedestrian access to rapid transit and commercial and institutional land uses. To achieve the vision set out in area plans and other documents, pedestrian facilities along Lougheed should be supportive of the urban environment and follow the best practic es outlined in the B.C. Active Transportation Design Guidelines. Opportunities for activated building frontage, wide pedestrian thoroughfares, a high-quality furnishing zone / boulevard, and lighting are central components of the vision for this corridor. The intent for Lougheed as a key corridor is outlined in Action 2.1.2. Note that this is detailed in the key corridors theme. As part of this action, the City will partner with MOTI and developers to ensure the future Lougheed Transit Corridor meets these pedestrian and public realm needs. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 47 - THEME 4 CYCLING Cities with safe, comfortable, and connected cycling networks are more likely to have a higher proportion of cycling mode share. In any given community, approximately half of the population is interested in cycling, but have concerns over their safety. In Maple Ridge and Metro Vancouver, cycling is a growing mode of transportation, and stakeholders at the local, regional, and provincial levels have expressed the need to grow the City’s cycling network to increase its mode share and reach climate goals. Linking key community destinations and transit with safe and comfortable cycling facilities can help to grow cycling mode share in Maple Ridge. Regionally, TransLink’s Regional Cycling Strategy and Transport 20 50 identify a Major Bikeway Network (MBN) that connects Urban Centres and major destinations across the region, as well as a Regional Greenways Network, which connects to parks, open spaces, natural areas, and scenic pathways. These networks were considered in the development of strategies and actions withi n this theme. The Strategic Transportation Plan includes the following strategies and actions to build out a network of complete, connected, and comfortable cycling facilities to encourage more cycling trips by people of all ages and abilities. Strategy 4.1: Complete connections to community destinations to ensure that most residents and visitors can easily and comfortably access amenities across the City by bicycle. Facilitating cycling trips requires a network of comfortable cycling routes that connect people to the places they want to go . A complete and connected network of primary cycling routes that are comfortable for most and suitable for people of All Ages and Abilities (AAA wherever feasible will increase the mode share of cycling and enable the City to meet the broader goals of the STP. AAA routes can consist of physically separated facilities, such as mult i-use pathways, protected bicycle lanes, and off-street pathways on streets with high traffic volumes and / or speeds, as well as local street bikeways. Local street bikeways are signed bikeways on low volume neighbourhood streets, where cyclists travel on-street with vehicles. These streets have lower speed limits and potential traffic calming features implemented by the City. Cycling networks typically also include routes with less comfortable supporting facilities that provide more options for cyclists, but may not be suitable for all . Figure 4-6 illustrates a range of bicycle facility types, including both AAA and Supporting Facilities. The City’s cycling network will combine facilities that are AAA, facilities that are comfortable for most, and supporting cycling facilities. Beyond facility type, a range of other factors influence the comfort and accessibility of cycling, including intersection treatments, multimodal connections, and end of trip amenities. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 48 - Figure 4-6: Bicycle Facility Types Action 4.1.1 Develop a complete and connected cycling network, focusing on connecting community destinations such as commercial areas, schools, community centres, natural areas, and transit. The long-term cycling network includes two complementary designations – primary and secondary. Primary cycling routes are intended to typically be suitable for All Age and Abilities, where feasible. This may include the facilities illustrated in the blue ‘All Ages and Abilities’ area of Figure 4-6. Secondary cycling routes could feature a wide range of infrastructure, this may include those listed in the maroon Supporting Facilities’ area of Figure 4-6. Secondary routes typically do not feature continuous sections of AAA facilities. LESS COMFORTABLE MORE COMFOR TABLE URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 49 - The long-term cycling network shown in Figure 4-7 was developed collaboratively with stakeholders based on the following principles:  Include the MBN corridors in the Primary network and seek to make those facilities AAA where feasible. These include Lougheed / Highway 7, 113B Avenue / 203 Street, portions of Golden Ears Way / 128 Avenue / Abernethy Way, and 232 Street.  Provide the highest density of Primary network in the Town Centre, which is an important community destination with an urban form that can be challenging for cyclists, including on -street parking, driveways, and high-speed roadways.  Provide a high density of routes in the areas within and around the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area and Town Centre, where more people and destinations, including Ridge Meadows Hospital, will be close to investments in cycling infrastructure.  Connect communities to schools to ensure that as many families as possible can cycle to school on Primary cycling routes.  Create a network of continuous north-south and east-west Primary routes to connect neighbourhoods.  Strengthen multi-modal connections between transit and cycling, such as connections in the Town Centre, West Coast Express stations, current RapidBus stops (and future Bus Rapid Transit Stops, as identified in Theme 1 and Theme 5), and Haney Place Transit Exchange.  Create a network of supporting secondary routes that supplement the Primary route, leverage existing infrastructure, and provide connections to rural and natural areas. In addition to linear infrastructure along primary and secondary routes, bicycle network improvements also include intersection treatments, such as cross-rides, bicycle signals, and protected intersections can improve the safety and comfort of bicycle facilities. As part of this action, the City will work with partners to design and deliver the long-term cycling network illustrated in Figure 4-7. Rapid Implementation Design Guide for Bikeways in Metro Vancouver In certain contexts, the City may consider using rapid implementation approaches when building out the cycling network. Rapid implementation is a fast and cost-effective method of implementing active transportation projects that use adjustable, low-cost materials. TransLink’s Rapid Implementation Design Guide provides guidance for the planning, design, implementation, maintenance, and monitoring of bikeways through rapid implementation lens.

There are some existing cycling routes in the City that are located along the future Primary network but are not currently suitable for All Ages and Abilities. There are some existing Secondary routes where there is little separation between cyclists and high-speed motorized vehicles, or where broader key corridor improvements are anticipated. As part of this action, the City will:  Seek to provide AAA facilities wherever possible along these routes.  Seek opportunities to improve bicycle facilities on secondary routes with high volumes and speeds. Action 4.1.3 Implement support facilities such as wayfinding, secure bicycle parking and end -of-trip facilities to make cycling convenient. Support facilities make cycling a more attractive and convenient transportation choi ce by making sure that cyclists have the infrastructure and guidance needed before, during, and after their trip. As part of this action, the City will:  Create and install bicycle route signage along primary and secondary routes. This is particularly important for neighbourhood bicycle routes and shared streets, where the best and / or most direct route may not be immediately clear to new riders or visitors to the area. Wayfinding can also help cyclists understand which route best matches their abilities and comfort levels. Bicycle wayfinding can also help educate drivers about the potential presence of cyclists on the roadway.  Partner to install safe, secure parking for bicycles at key destinations, including West Coast Express and Rapid Transit stations, Municipal Hall, libraries, and schools.  Work with developers to provide secure bicycle parking and end-of-trip facilities through the update of Bylaw 4350-1990.  Seek opportunities to provide cycling amenities throughout the City, including drinking fountains with bottle fill stations and bicycle maintenance stations. Figure 4-8: Bicycle Maintenance Station URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 52 - Action 4.1.4 Work with developers to implement high quality cycling infrastructure. Both infill and new development provide unique opportunities to deliver high quality cycling infrastructure that will connect key destinations for both new and existing residents. As discussed in Theme 1, providing connections in the City’s emerging complete communities is particularly cost effective because of both the number of potential cyclists and the density of destinations. Working with greenfield development to ensure cycling is embedded in neighbourhood design provides a high level of value and red uces the need for future changes. As part of this action, the City will:  Acquire property and / or easements along the road right-of-way and along cut-through desire lines to facilitate the delivery of the primary and secondary cycling network.  Leverage development in infill areas to deliver the planned cycling infrastructure along each frontage. In some cases, this will result in a discontinuous network over time until more properties are developed. The City will seek to tie ultimate cros s- sections delivered through development to interim connections wherever possible.  Direct developers towards the BC Active Transportation Design Guidelines to supplement city design guidelines for bicycle infrastructure in the City of Maple Ridge.  In new neighbourhoods, work with developers to plan delivery of separated AAA cycling infrastructure on arterial and collector roadways, with particular attention to roadways that connect to schools. Strategy 4.2: Partner to complete regional cycling network that connects to neighbouring municipalities and to grow local and regional cycling. The City is part of a broader region and area with the potential for growth in both regional and local cycling for transportation and recreation. Regional coordination is essential to best leverage local investments. Action 4.2.1 Work with the Ministry of Transportation and TransLink to deliver All Ages and Abilities (AAA) cycling infrastructure along Lougheed Highway from the City of Pitt Meadows boundary into the Town Centre. As identified in Theme 2, the City will continue to work with MOTI to implement the Major Bikeway Network along Lougheed Highway by partnering to acquire property and ensure that development frontages include protected cycling infrastructure. The city will also partner with MOTI to seek opportunities to provide interim improvements to cycling infrastructure along the remainder of Lougheed Highway and the Haney Bypass. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 53 - Action 4.2.2 Work with the City of Mission, City of Pitt Meadows and Township of Langley to implement and enhance cycling connections to neighbouring municipalities. Cyclists in Maple Ridge must connect to – and travel through – other municipalities to reach key regional destinations. As part of this Action, the City will work with municipal neighbours to provide and enhance continuous cycling connections at municipal boundaries. Action 4.2.3 Work with Metro Vancouver to revise the Regional Greenways Network within the road right -of-way and to make key connections to the Primary and Secondary cycling networks. The STP has undertaken technical review and consultation to understand the needs and opportunities for cycling for transportation purposes within Maple Ridge. Key connections that align with the Regional Greenways Network have been incorporated into this plan, which supersedes the regional documen t for connections within the road right-of-way. As part of this action, the City will:  Partner with Metro Vancouver to connect the Regional Greenway Network to the Primary and Secondary Cycling network where feasible, including along locations identified in Action 3.1.4. Action 4.2.4 Work with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to construct new cycling infrastructure and enhance existing infrastructure on Haney Bypass and Lougheed Highway east of the Town Centre The Province owns and operates Haney Bypass between 222 Street and Kanaka Way and Lougheed Highway between Kanaka Way and the Mission / Maple Ridge Boundary. As discussed in the Key Corridors theme, this highway connection forms the spine for through travel in Maple Ridge and currently provides for regional and provincial goods movement, transit, and private vehicles trips. As summarized in Action 2.1.2 Lougheed Highway has been identified as part of the Major Bikeway Network. As identified in Action 2.1.5, the Haney Bypass provides a connection between Albion and the Town Centre that has a low elevation change that is reasonable for most cyclists. As part of this action, the City will:  Continue to work with MOTI to explore opportunities to provide a protected cycling connection along or parall el to the Haney Bypass.  Continue to work with MOTI to explore options to improve cycling connectivity and separation along or parallel to Lougheed Highway from Kanaka Way to 240 Street.  Continue to work with MOTI to improve cycling connectivity to Mission via Lougheed Highway east of 240 Street. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 54 - Action 4.2.5 Continue to support cycling education and promotion programs and events like Bike to Work Week and Bike Valet. The City supports programs and organizations that foster cycling in Maple Ridge with a special focus on walking to school. As part of this action, the City will continue to support these programs as they evolve over time. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 55 - THEME 5 TRANSIT Public transit has the highest people moving capacity of all modes. Fast, reliable, and convenient transit systems are more likely to attract high levels of ridership. Shifting trips to transit can improve the efficiency of the road network, reducing congestion, collision rates , and emissions, while also increasing affordability, livability, and equity in our community. Land use and density on frequent transit corridors can help to promote connections between residents and visitors to where they want to go, and when they want to get there. Maple Ridge has experienced rapid population growth, the City has more than doubled its population over the last 30 years and is projected to reach nearly 125,000 people by 2050. While the City is enabling the growth of complete communities along the Lougheed Transit Corridor area and in the Town Centre (as described in Theme 1), regionally, Transport 2050 is establishing the Major Transit Network (MTN) with a focus on serving urban centres and frequent transit development areas, including those in Maple Ridge. Transport 2050, together with regional and municipal land use planning actions, aim for 55% of Metro Vancouver’s residents to live within walking distance of the MTN.14 Regional investment in transit service as outlined in Transport 2050 aims to make transit the most convenient choice for longer trips. The MTN will be convenient, reliable, fast and competitive with car travel. Currently 68% of trips starting in Maple Ridge stay in Maple Ridge, another 28% travel through the western gateway of the City via Lougheed or Golden Ears Way / Golden Ears Bridge. These longer distance trips are currently mostly served by private vehicles and investment in the MTN and frequent transit al ong these routes has the potential to shift these long-distance trips to transit. The recent introduction of the R3 along Lougheed Highway is an initial step towards improved service along this route and MOTI and the City are partnering to explore future opportunities to advance delivery of the MTN in Maple Ridge. As a part of Transport 2050 , regional investments such as the planned Rapid Bus from Haney Place to Langley and Bus Rapid Transit from Haney Place to Coquitlam Central Station are outline d within the 10-year priorities. The Strategic Transportation Plan includes the following actions that focuses on the City’s role in improving the reliability and efficiency of the transit network and amenities, as well as aligning density, land use and transportation, to make taking transit a competitive option for medium and long -distance trips. 14 Walking distance is defined as 800 m from the MTN. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 56 - Strategy 5.1: Continue pursuing land use planning that supports transit to ensure that the community and transit are oriented around one another, promoting transit use. As identified in Theme 1, transit-oriented development increases the number of people, jobs, and services within walking distance of transit and improves the effectiveness of investments in transit frequency and bus priority. This strategy echoes Theme 1 and includes actions focused on aligning land u se and transit. Action 5.1.1 Support TransLink and Metro Vancouver priorities to align the transit network with residential populations, ensuring that most residents live within 400m of the transit network. The Maple Ridge -Pitt Meadows Area Transport Plan (ATP) identified transit service and frequency improvements throughout Maple Ridge. The routes proposed in that plan have been incorporated into the STP, as shown in Figure 4-9. The ATP and Transport 2050 both identify a future rapid transit corridor along Lougheed Highway. The City’s plans, as outlined in Theme 1, focus residential density in the areas that are best served by transit. This will increase the proportion of people that are within walking distance of the transit network. At the same time, the City will work with TransLink to increase service to residents in eastern Maple Ridge, ensuring that most residents live within 400 m of the transit network. In addition to conventional and on-demand transit provided by TransLink, the School District provides school bus services to students in Silver Valley and east Maple Ridge. TransLink also offers HandyDART service for people who are unable to navigate conventional public transit without assistance. Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Area Transport Plan (2021) The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Area Transport Plan (ATP) establishes a “blueprint” for improving the transportation network in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge over the next ten years in a way that is responsive to local needs and consistent with regional objectives in Metro 2040 and Transport 2050. The plan makes recommendations around transit service and infrastructure, walking, cycling, and regional roads and goods movement, ensuring that municipal land use and transportation plans support existing and expected land use and travel patterns.

MAPLE RIDGE ~ British Columbia STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 58 - Action 5.1.2 Continue to align mixed use land uses, density and transportation within the Town Centre and Lougheed Transit Corridor. As noted above and outlined in Theme 1, the City’s plans and policies will create Complete Communities in the Town Centre and Lougheed Transit Corridor area, which are also well served by frequent and rapid transit. The Lougheed Transit Corridor Area Plan identifies Transit Nodes near planned rapid transit stations near the intersections of 203 Street and Lougheed Highway and Laity Street and Lougheed Highway. The planned terminus for rapid transit is the Town Centre with a transit hub that is a major transfer point of multiple transit routes. The areas within walking distance of rapid transit and along the rapid transit corridor will be mixed-use employment hubs with higher density housing that serves the needs of many. As part of this action, the City will work with developers and TransLink to deliver transit-oriented communities in the Town Centre and the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area. Action 5.1.3 Leverage development to identify a new location for the Town Centre transit hub, which will replace and update the Haney Transit Exchange. Development in the Town Centre will create opportunities to reimagine connections and services. This include reconsidering the location, design, and amenities of the Town Centre transit hub. As identified in the ATP, the existing Haney Place exchange lacks amenities such as washrooms. The existing location also has poor cycling connectivity and requires the rapid bus to take an indirect travel path. Additional amenities and service improvements, along with additional layover capacity, may be feasible through the relocation of the Town Centre transit hub. As part of this action, the City will:  Work with the development community to identify and implement a new location and or, improvements for the Haney Transit Exchange. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 59 - Strategy 5.2: Partner for a more efficient transit system through bus speed and reliability road network improvements. Reliable and efficient transit service increases ridership and provides better service to residents and businesses. Transit service in Maple Ridge currently includes the R3 RapidBus, the West Coast Express, conventional buses operating on fixed routes as part of the Frequent Transit Network, conventional and community buses offering less frequent fixed route service, on-demand transit, and handy-dart service. All of these services work together to deliver transit connectivity to residents, empl oyees, and visitors to Maple Ridge. The 2019 Bus Speed and Reliability Report identified that 80% of bus routes in Metro Vancouver were slower in 2019 than they were in 2014. Traffic congestion on busy routes cause delays to bus service, resulting in longer waits, bus bunching, and higher operating costs for the same level of service. TransLink estimates that $75 million per year in operating costs are attributable to roadway delay. Because congestion on the municipal and provincial road network cause delay to bus service, road authorities have a central role to play in improving bus speed and reliability. Action 5.2.1 Work with TransLink and MOTI to work towards on-street bus rapid transit along Lougheed Highway Transport 2050 identifies the Lougheed Highway corridor part of the proposed new MTN. This route will serve the evolving transit- oriented communities in the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area and in the Town Centre. The intent for Lo ugheed is summarized as part of Theme 2 and is expected to include dedicated bus rapid transit lanes on Lougheed Highway between Coquitlam Central (Transit Hub) and the Haney Place Transit Exchange . In addition to the rapid transit connection to Coquitlam, Transport 2050 also identifies a rapid transit connection to Langley to support the Surrey Langley Skytrain (SLS) extension (SLS is planned for o peration by 2028). Since Transport 2050 was approved in January 2022, subsequent work is needed to determine t he type of rapid transit service, impacts to general purpose travel lanes, and the corresponding roadway cross section required to accommodate rapid transit service on Lougheed Highway and the Golden Ears Bridge. While the full build-out of the rapid transit corridor relies on property acquired through development, there is an opportunity to increase transit priority and active transportation connectivity to transit along Lougheed over time through interim improvem ents at intersections and along development frontages. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 60 - As part of this action, the City will:  Work with TransLink and MOTI to define and design the future Lougheed Highway and Golden Ears Bridge, connecting the rapid transit route to the future Town Centre transit hub.  Seek to improve active transportation connectivity and the quality of the public realm on roadways that intersect with Lougheed, creating complete, people-first streets.  Work with MOTI and developers to acquire property and easements required to deliver the vision for this corridor. Action 5.2.2 Work with TransLink to identify and implement transit priority measures that improve bus speed and reliability along the FTN. Road authorities can improve transit speed and reliability by investing in transit priority measures in congested locations. The ATP identifies the intersections of Dewdney Trunk Road & Lougheed Highway, Dewdney Trunk Road & 203 Street and connections to Maple Meadows station as locations where road congestion reduces bus reliability. Bus priority measures can include transit signal priority or passive signal priority, dedicated transit lanes, managing curbside uses, and providing bus bulges, boarding isla nds, floating bus stops, and improved platform designs. Bus stop consolidation can also improve bus speed and reliability. As part of this action, the City will work with TransLink to identify locations where bus priority measures could improve reliability and complete design and planning work to determine the feasibility of improvements at these locations. The City will also wor k with developers to identify potential transit reliability improvements through development, including opportunities for prope rty acquisition to support transit priority measures. Action 5.2.3 Continue to promote West Coast Express improvements, including frequency and hours of service improvements, to all levels of government, TransLink, and rail companies. The West Coast Express is a reliable and comfortable transit service with limited frequency and hours of service. Improving West Coast Express service is a high priority for many Maple Ridge residents. As part of this action, the City will:  Continue to promote West Coast Express improvemen ts, including working with TransLink to engage in the planned West Coast Express Strategy .  Support the potential for development of a new mobility hub with transit service, active transportation amenities, parking, and / or West Coast Express station in Albion. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 61 - Strategy 5.3: Complete connections to community destinations to ensure that all residents and visitors can easily and comfortably access amenities across the City and the region. Most transit trips begin with another mode – people walk, cycle, drive, take a taxi, ride-hail, or use a micro-mobility device to reach transit stops and stations and continue on with their trip. A complete and connected network that is oriented towards transit services improves the comfort and attractiveness of transit as a mode of transportation, particularly for longer trips. Many of the actions that improve this connectivity are within municipal jurisdiction, while others require partnership with other agencie s and developers. This strategy identifies actions to improve the eas e and comfort of transit access. Action 5.3.1 Improve walking access to transit stops and stations. Many transit riders arrive at transit stops and stations as pedestrians. As identified in Theme 3, planned improvements to the walking network are focused on areas around transit stops and stations. Bus landing pads and accessible loading areas are also an important component of providing accessible transit stops and stations. As part of this action, the City will seek to provide accessible pedestrian connections to transit stop sand stations. Action 5.3.2 Improve bus stop, transit exchange, and West Coast Express passenger amenities, enhancing accessibility of bus stops. Transit passenger amenities that make bus stops and transit exchanges more comfortable can increase both the attractiveness of transit and increase passenger safety and satisfaction. Bus stop amenities typically include benches, shelters, bicycle parking, customer information, lighting, garbage bins. Transit exchanges may also feature public restrooms, heated spaces, enhanced bicycle and micro- mobility parking, park-and-rides, passenger drop-offs, and places to purchase food and drink. As part of this action, the City will:  Continue to improve amenities at bus stops including benches, shelters and accessibility.  Work with TransLink to implement the recommendations of the ATP concerning amenities around West Coast Express stations (e.g. washrooms, accessible pedestrian connections, improved lighting, cycling connections, bicycle parking, wayfinding).  Seek opportunities to integrate amenities into the delivery of new rapid transit stations and the future Town Centre transit hub. Action 5.3.3 Improve multi-modal connections at bus stops, transit exchanges and West Coast Express stations. Most trips using transit begin with another mode, including walking or rolling, cycling, driving, or being a passenger in a vehicle. Comfortable and accessible multi-modal connections to transit are included in Strategies 3.1, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, and Actions 5.2.3, 5.31. and 5.3.2. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 62 - THEME 6 DRIVING / GOODS MOVEMENT Driving is currently the most common mode of transportation in Maple Ridge and the use of the road network for commercial vehicles is important this Regional City Centre and the local economy. By encouraging a safe, connected, and efficient road network, driving and goods movement trips can avoid long, circuitous routes to their destinations, reducing congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, and the risk of collision. The City is expected to continue experiencing rapid growth, and the road network needs to sufficiently accommodate growth to ensure residents, visitors, and businesses can continue to thrive. Beyond building and expanding roadways, the City also has the opportunity to work to shift some of these trips to transit, cycling, rolling, and walking to promote a safe and efficient road network through Transportation Demand Management initiatives to simultaneously support addressing congestion. The recommendations in this theme were developed through an assessment of existing and projected future traffic volumes using TransLink’s Regional Travel Demand Model, which had been updated to reflect proposed land uses in Maple Ridge and Mission. The model was used to understand potential changes in vehicle volumes on the road network in 2035 and 2050 and to confirm the need for new or expanded roadways based on demand. This theme includes strategies and actions that create new connections and i mprovements to reduce inefficiencies and accommodate growth, improve safety, and look forward to manage the demand for the road network. Strategy 6.1: Completing the road network to ensure that neighbourhoods and destinations are connected to one another in an efficient way. The 2014 STP identified new roadway connections that will complete the transportation network in new areas, providing multimodal links to developing industrial land and new neighbourhoods. Since 2014, the City has advanced the design of some of these connections, including identifying alignments. As part of the 2022 STP, these links were reviewed based on existing and forecast traffic volumes to confirm the recommended future road cross-sections and potential timing for these changes. These links will reduce delay and congestion on parallel roadways, create network redundancy, and increase the City’s resilience to climate change and natural disasters. The completed roadway network will also include transportation networks within developments, which are specified by Bylaw 4800-1993, as discussed as part of Action 1.1.3. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 63 - Action 6.1.1 Complete the arterial road network in developing areas, including completing the Abernethy Way, 240 Street Bridge, Grant Avenue, 248 Street, and the Thornhill Access Roadway. The long-term roadway network is illustrated in Figure 4-10. It includes the Thornhill Access Roadway and extensions of Abernethy Way and 240 Street, which are key corridors and explored further in Theme 2 , as well as two additional new arterial roadways that were not included in the key corridors. Planned new arterial roadways include:  Abernethy Way from 232 Street to 256 Street – this roadway provides a northern east-west connection and alternative to Dewdney Trunk Road and Lougheed Highway. It is mainly surrounded by lands designated as part of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), which is unlikely to change in the future. The Abernethy Way E xtension Study completed analysis of the first easterly extension of Abernethy from its current terminus at 232 Street with a proposed new alignment extending this roadway to 240 Street. This route selection was confirmed in November 2019 and is planned for completion by 2026. This segment is planned to be phased initially with two lanes and ultimately four lanes projected to accommodate approximately 15,000 vehicles per day by 2050. The general alignment for the extension of Abernethy Way from 240 Street to 256 Street was confirmed in November 2020, this route generally follows the 124 Avenue alignment and is expected to have a two-lane cross section and to accommodate between 3,00 0 and 9,500 vehicles per day (dependent on land-use utilization for the north east sector of the City) by 2050.  240 Street from Dewdney Trunk Road to Fern Crescent – this extension of 240 Street is planned to connect north across the Alouette River to Fern Crescent. This extension will provide a second access for the Silver Valley neighbourhood and Golden Ears Provincial Park to complete a reliable and resilient network..  Thornhill Access Roadway – as noted in the OCP, Thornhill is an Urban Reserve Area. Based on recent work done by the City, meeting the Urban Reserve OCP policy thresholds for urban residential future in Thornhill is not expected to occur for the next 50+ years. The City is considering an alternative option that explores the potentia l for employment use in the Thornhill Area. Development of this area is subject to several conditions and further assessments including a transportation study that would review the terrain, environmental conditions in conjunction with other studies that would assess ground water tables, developable land parcels, types of land-use and geotechnical ground conditions. as the A new road connection may be required to connect this neighbourhood to Highway 7. For the purposes of the STP a high-level road connection is provided, the specific location, timing, and cross-section is subject to further review.  248 Street Connection – this roadway will extend to 112 Avenue and connect from 108 Avenue through the development of the North East Albion Area. This road is unlikely to connect to the DTR due to environmental considerations. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 64 -  Grant Avenue Connection – this roadway generates limited traffic by 2050 and there is capacity on other east-west routes in this part of the City. Although this connection is not anticipated to be required by 2050, the City should continue to pursue suitable right-of-way for a future multi-modal arterial roadway connection to 272 Street. As part of this action, the City will seek to deliver new roadways to complete the arterial roa d network and retain property for future arterial roads.

MAPLE RIDGE ~ Bri ti sh Columbia STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 66 - Action 6.1.2 Work with developers to ensure that greenfield developments feature multi-modal collector and local road networks that meets the City’s needs. Beyond arterial roadways, developing neighbourhoods require a complete and connected network of major collectors, minor collectors, local roads, and lanes. New roadway networks should seek to create modified grid networks that limit vehicle through movements on roadways with lower classifications, while providing shorter and more direct connections for active transportati on. The City will work with developers to ensure all r oadways in greenfield areas are planned and designed in accordance with the updated Bylaw 4800-1993.15 Action 6.1.3 Close gaps in the existing collector and local road networks. There are a number of small gaps in the existing collector and local road network, which the City will complete through development or capital projects to achieve a complete and connected roadway network. These include:  Brown Avenue between Fletcher Street and 228 Street as a Major Collector  Golf Lane at 209 Street as a Local road  124 Avenue at 246 Street as a Local road Beyond these connections, partner with developers to introduce local roadways and lanes parallel to arterials and highways to facilitate greater access control that aligns with roadway classification. Action 6.1.4 Create a Dangerous Goods Route Network Dangerous goods include a wide range of materials that meet the daily needs of residents and businesses. These goods move in a range of vehicle types, including heavy trucks, light trucks and vans, and cars. Dangerous goods can include flammable liquid s (like gasoline intended for retail sale), liquified or compressed gases, corrosive substances (including batteries), or materials destined for laboratories and hospitals (e.g. radioactive or toxic / infectious substances.) Where these goods move by truck 16, they are subject to truck routing and restrictions. 15 As updated in Action 1.1.3. 16 Vehicles with a gross weight higher than 11,800 kg. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 67 - Within Metro Vancouver, TransLink17 has the authority to designate routes and times of travel on the MRN for motor vehicles transporting dangerous goods, subject to municipal consent. TransLink also has the authority to prohibit the movement of dangerous goods in motor vehicles on portions of the MRN or for certain times of travel. At the time of delivery of this report, TransLink is collaborating with municipal and provincial partners to develop a Dangerous Goods Route network along the MRN for the region, which will identify routes for the through travel of dangerous goods by motor vehicle in Maple Ridge: - Golden Ears Bridge / Golden Ears Way (TL Authority) - Highway 7 (MOTI) - Maple Meadows Way (City of Maple Ridge between Golden Ears Way and Highway 7) Vehicles carrying dangerous goods must travel along the dangerous goods route network until it is no longer practical to do so to reach their destination. Once they leave the dangerous goods route network, they are encouraged to travel on the highest classification of road and then exit at the closest point to reach their destination. Strategy 6.2: Widen and improve major roadways to accommodate recent and future growth in Maple Ridge and neighbouring municipalities. East-west roadways within Maple Ridge provide a conduit for travel within the municipality, between Maple Ridge and the remainder of Metro Vancouver, and between neighbouring communities. In particular, Lougheed Highway is a provincial corridor for provincial and regional east-west travel, as well as being an important part of the local transportation network. Existing MRN roadways also provide regional connectivity, including being part of future connections to industrial land. This strategy identifies future widening to accommodate recent and future growth within Maple Ridge, as well as in neighbouring municipalities. Action 6.2.1 Work with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and TransLink to implement improvements to major roadways The roadways identified in the STP for widening are all part of the provincial or regional networks. As part of this Action, the City will work with TransLink and MOTI to pursue widening Golden Ears Way, the Abernethy Connector, the Haney Bypass, and portions of a current two-lane section of Lougheed Highway to four lanes, as illustrated in Figure 4-11. Widening major roadways can potentially prioritize space for sustainable modes such as incorporating transit priority measures as well as new or enhanced active transportation facilities. The intent for the three key corridors of Haney Bypass, Golden Ears Way, and Abernethy are explored 17 TransLink’s authority is designated through the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Act [SBC 1998] URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 68 - further in Theme 2 . This action also includes improvements to the north end of the Golden Ears Bridge and the interchanges along Golden Ears Way.

MAPLE RIDGE ~ British Columbia STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 70 - Action 6.2.2 Update the City’s Street classification network. The roadway classification system describes the intended function of the roadway and guides decision making about changes in physical design characteristics, as well as the access characteristics of surrounding land us es. Maple Ridge updated the road classification hierarchy and definitions as part of the 2014 STP. This update to the STP includes minor revisions to road cl assification definitions, as well as some proposed changes to individual road classifications. Road classifications and designations within the City include:  Provincial highways are roadways that are owned and operated by MOTI and accommodate regional and provincial through traffic. At-grade signalized intersections are widely spaced, and direct access to provincial highways is minimized to maximize capacity and limit delays to through traffic. Posted speeds are typically higher than other urban roadways – generally 60 km/h or higher and parking is usually prohibited. Transit service is often limited to express services with relatively few or no stops along the roadway. Within Maple Ridge, Highway 7 is a provincial facility, but it should be noted that the section of Highway 7 within the Lougheed Transit Corridor area functions as an urban arterial – i.e. the corridor has relatively frequent at-grade intersections.  The Major Road Network (MRN) is a road designation principally composed of municipal arterial roadways that serve a regional function and that accommodate a high volume of general-purpose vehicles, transit passengers, and / or trucks. TransLink partners with municipalities to fund the operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of the MRN; however, municipalities retain ownership and operational responsibilities for this group of roadways. Changes that reduce the people-moving capacity of an MRN roadway are subject to approval by TransLink. Dewdney Trunk Road west of 232, 128 Avenue / Abernethy and parts of 232 Street are examples of the MRN within Maple Ridge.  The primary function of Arterial roads is to provide mobility. They usually serve regional traffic – travel between major local destinations or between municipalities. Direct access to arterial roads is often limited to commercial driveways, although many arterials in Maple Ridge also provide residential driveway access. Speed limits are generally 50 km/h and on -street parking is restricted and or, limited. Arterials are often used for major transit corridors. Examples of arterial roads in Maple Ridge include Dewdney Trunk Road (east of 232) an d 216 Street.  Collector roads typically serve a dual function. They provide mobility for travel between local neighbourhood streets and municipal arterials, but they also offer access to individual properties. In Maple Ridge, there are many private driveways along collectors. On-street parking may be permitted. Transit service is often provided. Posted speeds are usually 50 km/h, although they can be lowered to 30 km/h in school or playground zones, along cycling routes, or in other areas with high URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 71 - pedestrian volumes. River Road and Laity Street are examples of collectors in Maple Ridge. T here are two types of collector roadways in Maple Ridge: o Major collectors have higher traffic volumes and play a more significant role in connectivity and mobility within the City’s road network. These roadways may serve as route for transit and / or response routes for emergency services. o Minor collectors have lower traffic volumes and a limited network contribution.  The primary function of Local roads is to provide access to property. Commercial and residential properties have driveway access and parking is typically permitted. The proposed updated classification map is illustrated in Figure 4-12. The following roadway segments are recommended for a change in classification:  232 Street from Silver Valley Road to 141 Avenue – change to Minor Collector  Brown Avenue west of 222 Street – change to Local road  Brown Avenue from 222 Street to 228 Street / Purdey Avenue – change to Major Collector with a wider cross section for active travel modes.  210 Street north of 117 Avenue – change to Local road  116 Avenue east of Cottonwood Drive – change to Local road  118 Avenue between 236 Street and 240 Street – change to Local road  128 Avenue / Katonien Street / Lilley Drive from 256 Street to Lilley Drive cul -de-sac – change to Major Collector URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 72 - Figure 4-12: Proposed Roadway Classification 500 1,000 2,000 Metres r-..J 132NOAVE LONG-TERM ROAD NETWORK --Highway --t.'JjcrCo le<:t O'!OOd --• PropoH-d Ma.or Collector Roird -C=m.,d,, -Sc hool ~ J f,t~r-,c,paB=rlla•y ~Fi,~lNa:on Q1t~r.9 Land Mirror Lake Mike Lake Golden Ears :;; ... ... ~ ce,,.~,i',. __ lDBTHAIE 100THAV E -- ..

Intersections are the source of most delay, low reliability, and collisions on the transportation network. This strategy includes actions that focus on intersections. Action 6.3.1 Address capacity and operational issues at key intersections. Through a preliminary high level safety assessment, a number of intersections throughout Maple Ridge have been identified for potential safety and / or operational issues. Twenty-seven intersections were identified18 for further safety assessment based on having a high collision rate and collision severity indices. detailed review of these intersections through collision statistics will help determine if mitigation measures can be employed to reduce the frequency and severity of collisions at these locations. The City may be able to implement improvements in some areas, while in others work may be focused on an enforcement or advocacy level. Intersection performance was assessed relative to conditions today and how locations are projected to perform in the fu ture. Fifteen intersections were identified as locations that require operational improvements. Table 4-2 summarizes the municipal intersections that have high collision rates and severity index and / or capacity constraints, along with recommended improvements. It should be noted that the locations and improvement types were developed at a high-level and each location will require a detailed safety and / or operational study to identify and design recommended improvements. 18 This assessment was developed using five years of data provided by ICBC and aggregated to the intersection level. It did not include a detailed review of collisions patterns or trends. What is Level of Service (LOS)? The overall performance of an intersection is typically measured by the delays experienced by vehicles for each individual movement and collectively, also referred to as the level of service (LOS). The LOS is defined by a letter grade and can range between LOS A (best) to LOS F (worst). LOS A through C generally indicates that the intersection experiences very few delays during the peak hour whereas LOS F suggests the delays are significant (greater than 80 seconds per vehicle at a signalized intersection and greater than 50 seconds per vehicle at an unsignalized intersection) and that the intersection is not meeting typical operational criteria. For planning purposes, overall intersection operation of LOS D or better and minor approach operation of LOS E or better are generally considered an acceptable threshold, while operations outside of these thresholds may require improvement.

The City will endeavour to work collaboratively with TransLink and or, MOTI to make improvements to the following locations:  Maple Meadows Way/Dewdney Trunk Rd & Lougheed Highway  203 Street and Lougheed Highway  207 Street and Lougheed Highway  Laity Street & Lougheed Hwy  216 Street and Lougheed Highway  221 Street & Lougheed Highway  222 Street & Lougheed Hwy  Haney Bypass/Kanaka Way & Lougheed Hwy &  240 Street & Lougheed Highway  River Road & Lougheed Highway  272 Street & Lougheed Highway Typical improvements include intersection modifications such as adding turn lanes, installing new traffic controls (e.g., traffic signals, installing pedestrian and bicycle signals, crosswalk upgrades, and / or installing new crosswalks ), and signage improvements. Investment in intersection improvements can also mitigate existing safety issues , while extending the life of infrastructure, helping to delay larger and more expensive capacity improvements. Action 6.3.2 Continue the intersection safety program. The City regularly identifies and addresses new safety issues arising at intersections on an ongoing basis. Staff identify intersections for safety studies based on feedback received from residents, business, and third-party organizations, through Traffic Impact Assessments, through other transportation studies, and through staff observation. Staff conduct an initial evaluation of physical characteristics, corporate history, sightlines, ICBC accident data, turning movement data, and speed and traffic data. Through this initial assessment, between 20 and 30 intersections each year are identified for more formal study. Potential improvements, including changes to geometry, intersection control, signal timing, or other factors are identified. Minor improvements may be included in annual program funding, while larger projects are identified for inclusion in future capital plans. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 77 - As part of this action, the City will:  Continue to use the existing intersection safety program to identify and address new issues arising.  Continue to partner with ICBC through their Road Safety Improvement Program to fund safety improvements. Action 6.3.3 Continue traffic control warrant assessment and investment program. The City regularly identifies and assesses intersections and mid-block crossing locations to determine if traffic control upgrades are required as per best practices outlined by the Transportation Association of Canada. Assessment locations are identified based on feedback received from residents, business, third-party organizations and staff knowledge. The City conducts the required data collection and evaluates operations using industry standard approaches, including warrants. If new traffic control is warranted, it is installed as part of development, through annual program funding, or included in future capital plans. As part of this action, the City will:  Continue the traffic control warrant assessment and investment prog ram. Action 6.3.4 Consider traffic operational systems improvements. Optimized signal timing and signal coordination along corridors can reduce traffic delay, reduce collisions, and make the highest use of existing physical infrastructure with relatively low-cost investment in ongoing improvements. Further, investments in new signal equipment and emerging technology can improve overall operations for a lower cost than road widening and enable other improvements, such as turning lanes with protected, split, and / or overlap phases and signal coordination. As part of this action, the City will:  Investigate opportunities to improve coordination and efficiency through signal equipment upgrades, coordination, and optimization.  Continue to monitor traffic signal operations and adjust traffic signal phasing for efficiency and safety improvements. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 78 - Strategy 6.4: Ensure proactive steps are taken to improve safety for vulnerable road users and motorists. The B.C. Active Transportation Design Guidelines summarizes research that indicates that the severity of collisions involving vulnerable road users and motor vehicles increases with motor vehicle speeds. Recent studies indicate collisions with motor vehicles travelling at speeds greater than 40 km/hr have a less than 70% survival rate, compared to a more than 90% survival rate at 30 km/hr or less. Vehicle speed also contributes to both the rate and severity of collisions involving two or more vehicles.19 Higher vehicle volumes also increase risk by increasing exposure. As explored in Strategy 6.3:, the STP seeks to improve safety by investigating and addressing safety challenges at locations with a relatively high rate and / or severity of collisions.20 Beyond improvements to individual intersections, programs that reduce traffic speeds in key conflict locations and updates to design standards can reduce transportation-related injuries and fatalities. Action 6.4.1 Continue the existing Traffic Calming Policy approach. Traffic calming seeks to reduce the speed and / or volume on local and minor collector roadways to create a more comfortable experience for road users and residents. Through the City’s existing Traffic Calming Policy, neighbourhood residents work with professional engineers and planners to develop a traffic calming plan within their neighbourhood. The City’s Traffic Calming Policy was recently updated to align with the 2019 edition of the Transportation Association of Canada Guide for Traffic Calming 2 nd Edition and has been successfully applied in multiple neighbourhoods. Minor traffic calming measures can be installed through the annual traffic calming budget, while larger projects are identified for inclusion in future capital plans. As part of this action the City will continue to use the existing Traffic Calming Policy and related practices to initiate, assess, prioritize, and plan traffic calming measures, as well as to finance and deliver recommendations. Action 6.4.2 Collaborate at a regional level to explore opportunities to introduce people first neighbourhoods. At the regional level, Transport 2050 explores strategies and actions that focus on people first streets that are designed for everyone. and feature reduced speeds for motor vehicles, as well as greater physical separation between modes of transportation. 19 SWOV Fact Sheet: The relation between speed and crashes. (https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/speedmgt/ref_mats/fhwasa1304/Resources3/08%20- %20The%20Relation%20Between%20Speed%20and%20Crashes.pdf) 20 STP Report 1 documented 15 intersections with a collisions rate that is 10% higher than the critical collision rate and a Collision Severity Index that is greater than 5, as well as eight intersections that had no volume data available, but had a collision frequency greater than one collision per year and a Collision Severity Index greater than five. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 79 - One element of this strategy is creating walkable neighbourhoods where motor vehicles travel at slower speeds and another is to create localized car-free or low-volume environments within the transportation network, including cut throughs and plazas. The City will consider regional possibilities to pilot elements of people-first neighbourhoods and work to understand how these programs and approaches will evolve over time. Strategy 6.5: Use transportation demand management to reduce the demand on the road network, increasing efficiency. Transportation demand management (TDM) seeks to reduce the demand on the road network by reducing the number of vehicle trips during times of peak congestion and the overall vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT) per person. TDM focuses on shifting trips from driving alone to carpooling and non-auto modes of transportation; shifting trips to different times of day; and eliminating some trips. The actions in this strategy leverage TDM measures to reduce VKT, improve reliability, and reduce congestion. Action 6.5.1 Consider the introduction of high occupancy vehicle lanes that are shared with transit at key locations. Where the City is considering transit priority measures, the City and partners will evaluate opportunities to include high occupancy vehicle lanes. In some cases, high occupancy vehicles can be accommodated in the short -to medium- term until transit frequency increases. The number of occupants required for use of high occupancy vehicle lanes may be changed over time to accommodate increasing transit service or to reduce delays to transit caused by congestion in these lanes . The use of high occupancy vehicles lanes will be explored alongside Strategy 5.2.1 as a potential interim measure if road widening of Highway 7 occurs between Pitt Meadows and the Haney Bypass in advance of the Rapid Transit that would require this additio nal lane for exclusive use. Action 6.5.2 Review parking requirements in Bylaw 4350-1990, including changes that encourage the use of car pooling and reduce parking minimums. The number and use of parking spaces required in new developments influences vehicle ownership and travel choices, as well as the affordability of residential unit. Potential TDM parking policies include allowing shared parking for commercial and residential visitor use, providing designated spaces for car-pooling and car sharing, and reducing parking minimums. The City will consider opportunities to embed TDM into parking policy for new developments as part of the review and update of Bylaw 4350-1990. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 80 - Action 6.5.3 Continue to work with TransLink to educate and promote the use of non -auto modes of transportation. In alignment with Transport 2050, the City will partner with TransLink to educate and promote the use of non-auto modes through programs and policies that include TravelSmart, programs for major employers, school travel programs, and other initiatives. Action 6.5.4 Continue to work with local businesses, stratas, Business Improvement Associations, and the Chamber of Commerce to review and address curbside management requests. As the way people and goods move changes, there is increasing pressure on the curbside space. This includes increasing demand for short-term parking to be used for pick-up and drop-off of passengers, as well as short-term loading for couriers and delivery services. There is also demand on the curbside for visitor parking for both commercial and residential uses, in addition to long -term parking. Typically, when parking occupancy exceeds 85%, spaces become harder to find and there can be impacts to the types of short-term loading and parking needs that support economic activity – the City has historically used this threshold to inform curbside management decisions. The City will continue to follow industry best practices and regional approaches to adapt to changing technology and demands for the curbside in collaboration with local stakeholders. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 81 - THEME 7 NEW MOBILITY The way we travel is evolving and expected to continue to do so with the introduction of new mobility and technology such as electrification, connectivity, automation, shared mobility, and road pricing. Integration and accommodation of new mobility and technology into the City’s transportation networks can support the City’s broader societal objectives, making clean, fast, and affordable transportation accessible and safe for everyone. In addition, the region is likely to implement policy and programming that will introduce new travel modes and/or, regulations on our transportation networks, such as shared mobility, autonomous vehicles, and road pricing. The City can participate in these discussions to ensure there is a broader positive impact for its residents and visitors consistent across the region. The Strategic Transportation Plan identifies key strategies and actions that will support the integration of current and futu re technologies and trends, ensuring the City is a conduit for shifting transportation patterns to cleaner, more affordable, a nd safer modes. Strategy 7.1: Support the ‘electrification’ of travel to ensure that the City can accommodate future trends, and proactively reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Metro Vancouver’s Climate 2050 Strategic Framework (2019) estimates that 31% of greenhouse gas emissions in the region are a result of cars and trucks. Moving towards higher adoption of zero emissions vehicles, including electric passenger cars and t rucks, is an important component of achieving the City’s Climate Action Goals. Demand for electric vehicles is increasing and there are provincial and federal incentives for residents to purchase an electric vehicle – the Government of Canada has committed to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and has a goal to reach 100% of passenger zero-emissions vehicle sales by 2040. The City will adopt to these changes by focusing on the availability of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Electric vehicles are recharged by plugging into the electricity grid. There are three levels of charger, each with a differ ent time required to reach a full charge:  Level 1 (Ten hours adds about 70 km of range): Standard cord-set that plugs into a regular wall socket.  Level 2 (2.5 hours adds about 100 km of range): The most common level for public charge stations.  Level 3 (30 – 40 minutes adds about 100 km of range). URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 82 - Other new forms of mobility, including electric bicycles, electric cargo bicycles, and electric scooters can also help lower greenhouse gas emissions by expanding the number and type of trips that are feasible b y non-auto modes of transportation. These vehicles also benefit from electric outlets in parking lots, particularly where there is secure bicycle parking. The actions within this strategy focus on two approaches to increasing the availability of electric charging infrastructure. Action 7.1.1 Continue to install and expand electric charging infrastructure at community facilities. The City has installed public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at City Hall and other locations in the City. As part of this Action, the City will continue to seek opportunities to install public charging locations, focusing on Level 2 charging stations at community facilities. Locations are expected to include existing and planned community centres and libraries. The City will also partner with TransLink to seek opportunities to install Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at West Coast Express Stations. Action 7.1.2 Ensure new electric charging infrastructure is a required minimum for new developments. The City is currently reviewing Bylaw 4350-1990 which regulates off-street parking and loading. This bylaw can require new electric charge infrastructure as part of new developments and retrofits of older buildings. Through this review, the City will be dev eloping a new off-street and loading bylaw update Bylaw to align with current best off-street parking and loading best practices. For electric charging infrastructure, the new off-street parking and loading bylaw will:  Require outlets in secure bicycle parking areas.  Require Ready to Charge infrastructure for accessible parking spaces. ‘Ready to Charge’ means providing all the infrastructure, including the charging head. The number of Ready to Charge accessible parking spaces will be determined as part of the bylaw update study.  Include EV-ready requirements for new buildings. ‘EV-ready’ means that the vehicle’s electrical system can accommodate a high level of future charging, including parking spaces that are ready for the installation of a final connection point. The percentage of EV-ready spaces required will be determined as part of the bylaw update study.  Include a minimum requirement for Level 2 chargers as part of parking requirements for commercial and institutional land uses. The number of EV-ready spaces required will be determined as part of the bylaw update study. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 83 - Strategy 7.2: Explore the role of new ways of travelling, including car share (e.g. Evo, Modo), ride share (e.g. Uber, Lyft), micromobility (bike share, electric bikes, scooter share, etc.) in improving mobility for all. Transportation is evolving as new technology emerges and creates new choices, opportunities, and challenges. These technologies will enable individuals to choose new modes that best fit their needs while responding to broader challenges, including climate change, affordability, and safety. Shared transportation systems and ride hailing can reduce the demand for vehicle storage, while providing convenient and comfortable connections. Micromobility devices allow people to travel farther more comfortably than walking or cycling alone. Much is uncertain about the future of connected and autonomous vehicles; however, there is hope that these technologies will reduce transportation injuries and fatalities while increasing transportation reliability and efficiency. These new modes pose regulatory and practical challenges and policy makers will need to adjust quickly to enable opportunities while mitigating challenges that arise over time. Agencies in Metro Vancouver have historically collaborated to introduce new technology in a collaborative way. Many of these new modes are operated by private companies and co-operatives and require profitable conditions for expansion. Transport 2050 identifies making it convenient for all households to make the occasional car trip without needing to own a car as a strategy to support regional goals. The document includes actions focusing on using pricing, regulations, and public investment to prioritize a rapid and near-term transition to zero-emissions carshare vehicles, taxis, and ride-hail vehicles that are universally accessible. Transport 2050 also plans to seamlessly connect different transport services, including taxi, carshare, or bikeshare. The actions in this section focus on enabling the City to react to both the opportunities and challenges of new ways of travelling as they evolve. What are some new ways of travelling?  Micromobility is a category of small one- person electric vehicles, such as e-bikes, e- scooters, or other devices. These extend the comfort and ease of travelling over longer distances and / or carrying heavier loads. Micromobility can be privately owned, or owned and operated as part of shared transportation systems. It can be used for personal travel or play a role in goods movement via cargo e-bikes.  Shared transportation systems enable users to rent a car, bike, or micro-mobility vehicle on a short-term basis. They can be point-to-point (users can pick up the vehicle or device in one location and return in another) or return-to-base (users must pick up or drop off from the same locations).  Ride-hailing systems connect passengers to drivers for hire using smart phone apps.  Connected and autonomous vehicles are a range of self-driving or partially automated vehicles that are connected to infrastructure and each other. They are not yet widely available, but are expected to change the future of transportation over the next five to fifteen years. What are some new ways of travelling?  Micromobility is a category of small one- person electric vehicles, such as e-bikes, e- scooters, or other devices. These extend the comfort and ease of travelling over longer distances and / or carrying heavier loads. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 84 - Action 7.2.1 Collaborate at a regional level to regulate and manage micromobility devices and shared micromobility. Maple Ridge’s transportation system is integrated with the larger Metro Vancouver transportation system, as well as within provincial laws, regulations, and infrastructure. Several municipalities have active shared micromobility services (public and private) and some are participating in the provincial electric kick scooter pilot project. As the region learns from these initial appli cations, regional approaches will emerge for the regulation and management of micromobility devices. As part of this action, the Ci ty will collaborate with TransLink and municipalities across the region to regulate and manage micromobility devices ensuring a consistent approach for the region and province.. Action 7.2.2 Encourage car share organizations to extending service to Maple Ridge, parti cularly within the Lougheed Transit Corridor and Town Centre areas. Car share companies and cooperatives provide a valuable service to residents and may allow some households to own fewer vehicles. These companies typically locate in areas where their vehicles will be well used, including in denser, mixed -use areas. Transport 2050 calls for priority parking and charging for carshare vehicles. As part of this action, the City will explore opportunities to encourage car share organizations to consi der extending services to Maple Ridge. Action 7.2.3 Ensure new developments provide for the secure storage and charging of electric bicycle, cargo bicycles, and scooters and improve storage amenities at City-owned destinations. As new types of micromobility devices emerge, they will require different storage amenities. This is particularly important for cargo bicycles, which can replace a car for some families, but require different storage amenities, particularly in multi -family buildings and commercial and institutional destinations. As part of this action, the City will:  Ensure the update of Bylaw 4350-1990 provides for short- and long-term secure storage of emerging modes, including cargo bicycles, electric bicycles, and scooters.  Seek opportunities to provide secure electric bicycle, cargo bicycle, and scooter parking for visitors and employees to municipal buildings, with particular focus on buildings that are often vi sited by families and seniors. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 85 - Action 7.2.4 Subsequent updates to the STP will provide regular updates on advancement in transportation technologies to ensure the City is prepared to accommodate future travel needs of the community As noted previously, transportation technology is quickly evolving with new opportunities and challenges. The City will ensure that subsequent updates to the STP will address advancements in transportation technology. Strategy 7.3: Coordinate for automation to ensure that the regional introduction of Autonomous Vehicles is smooth and creates a positive impact on the transportation network. Connected and autonomous vehicles include a range of self-driving or partially automated vehicles that are connected to infrastructure and each other. As illustrated in Figure 4-13, levels of automation range from ‘0’ (i.e., no automation: a human performs all driving tasks) to ‘5’ (i.e., full automation: vehicle can drive itself without supervision and in any condition). Level 1 automation (i.e., driver assistance functions) have been available for many years and include features like cruise control. Level 2 and 3 automation (i.e., vehicles that include advanced driver assistance systems) are now available. Level 4 and 5 automation are not yet available. Research completed for Transport 2050 suggests that Level 4 automation is likely to be available by - COMPLETE COMMUNITIES Figure 4-: Levels of Driving Automation (Source: Transport 2050): - KEY CORRIDORS - COMPLETE COMMUNITIES Figure 4-: Levels of Driving Automation (Source: Transport 2050)ADDITIONAL THEMES: - KEY CORRIDORS - COMPLETE COMMUNITIES Figure 4-: Levels of Driving Automation (Source: Transport 2050)ADDITIONAL THEMES: Figure 4-13: Levels of Driving Automation (Source: Transport 2050) URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 86 - 2030 and widespread by 2050. This will bring challenges as the region adapts to a mixed fleet of privately owned vehicles with different degrees of automation. A regional approach to regulating and responding to automation will create consistency across different road jurisdictions (i.e. municipal, regional, and provincial roadways) and across municipal boundaries, improving compliance and allowing for shared approaches to technology and other tools. Managing the opportunities and challenges of automation will require regional collaboration, as outlined in the actions below. Action 7.3.1 Collaborate at a regional level to study the impacts of Autonomous Vehicles. The City will work with regional partners to proactively regulate and respond to the arrival of Autonomous Vehicles. Regional efforts are expected to include continued study and research, allowing for an ongoing evolution of the regional response. This regional approach is expected to include consistent bylaws and municipal policies around use of autonomous vehicles, pricing, curbside regulations, technology, and other levers to work towards a positive impact that aligns with the goals outlined in Transport 2050 and future plans. Strategy 7.4: Participate in Regional dialogue exploring Mobility Pricing. Mobility pricing is a name for a coordinated and strategic approach to pricing transportation. Currently, transportation system users typically pay for services and infrastructure through a combination of means, including auto insurance, transit fares, fuel tax, parking fees, and user fees for taxis, car sharing, and ride sharing. The fees collected by government agencies, along with other sources of revenue (e.g. income tax, property tax) help fund the maintenance and improvement of transportation infrastructure . Network expansion is often funded through a combination of development cost charges21 and general revenue at all levels of government. In the Metro Vancouver region, mobility pricing was studied by the Mobility Pricing Independent Commission, which produced the Metro Vancouver Mobility Pricing Study (2018). The Commission found that a comprehensive mobility pricing policy that includes a decongestion charge could support Metro Vanco uver’s growth. A decongestion charge could take the form of regional congestion point charges or multi-zone distance-based charges, either of which could be designed to reduce congestion and raise capital to invest in transportation infrastructure. The Com mission recognized that any system would need to follow the guiding 21 Development cost charges are fees that municipalities collect from new developments at the time of development approval to assist in paying the cost of upgrading or providing infrastructure to support the new development. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 87 - principles of reducing congestion, achieving fairness, supporting investment, providing positive economic benefits, protecting privacy, ensuring stability, supporting regional growth targets, and continued public dialogue. Action 7.4.1 Participate in Regional dialogue exploring Mobility Pricing. The Metro Vancouver Mobility Pricing Study sets the framework for moving forward on mobility pricing as a region. The Commission recognized that further study – including ongoing public dialogue – is required before decongestion charging could be brought forward as part of a broader Mobility Prici ng approach. The City of Maple Ridge recognizes the benefits of Mobility Pricing – including reducing congestion and increasing funds availability for new transportation infrastructure – and the challenges – including the risk that decongestion charging will contribute to the overall unaffordability of living in Metro Vancouver and the need for a fair and equitable approach. To engage in Mobility Pricing requires regional implementation with a consistent and equitable approach. As part of this action, the City will continue to participate in dialogue with regional partners to explore Mobility Pricing. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 88 - 5.0 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The strategies and actions included in the STP will be carried out by the City over the next 30 years and beyond. To implement the actions as described, the City will need to increase funding for sustainable travel modes and new connections and also secure new and additional sources of funding through local, provincial, and federal partnerships. As noted throughout the STP, the City will also partner with the private sector, leveraging development to achieve shared objectives for a safe, connected, reliable, and effective transportation system. The implementation plan provides the framework for advancing the actions, including a phasing strategy for advancing specific transportation improvements. The phasing strategy identifies recommended improvements over the short-term (0 – 10 years), medium term (10 – 20 years), and long term (beyond 20 years). A summary of the implementation plan listing all the actions and activities recommended in the STP is provided in Appendix C. Progress on delivery of the actions outlined in the STP will be done annually as part of the City’s Business Planning processes. Changes in key metrics, including mode share and vehicle kilometres travelled per capita are monitored through TransLink’s regional Trip Diary survey, which typically takes place every five years.22 The City will also be taking a comprehensive approach to monitoring as part of the Climate Action Plan. 22 https://www.translink.ca/plans-and-projects/data-and-information/research-and-insights/trip-diary-survey Integrating an Equity Lens into Planning and Implementation Equity means striving for a just, free, and fair society where all people have access to opportunities and resources to live a healthy and meaningful life. Addressing structural inequities and ensuring communities are healthy, vibrant, diverse, and inclusive requires prioritizing groups who are underserved and face barriers to participating equally in society – including their access to safe, convenient, and affordable transportation. Applying an intersectional and inclusive equity lens means striving to recognize and mitigate these factors through planning. An equity lens was applied throughout the STP and in the implementation plan, where neighbourhood demographics that consider the presence of seniors, youth, and low-income households was used to prioritize pedestrian, cycling, and transit infrastructure needs . Focusing improvements in areas that serve seniors, youth, and low-income populations can make the City’s investments more effective. URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 89 - 5.1 OVERALL PLAN COSTS To provide a sense of the potential overall future levels of transportation investment for the City in current (2023) dollars , conceptual order-of-magnitude cost estimates were developed for each of the capital investments identified in the STP. These costs are summarized in Table 5-1. These estimates serve for comparative purposes and are based on high-level concepts; additional refinement and design is required to establish project budgets. Actual implementation costs for each initiative could vary as costs change over time . Beyond the costs of the specific facilities identified throughout the plan, a number of actions are associated with ongoing spending programs that will result in capital investments in specific types of infrastructure, with the City prioritizing investment l ocations and details based on information that is available t o staff on an annual basis. These investment programs have been assigned an annual allocation on an ongoing or periodic basis. Some costs are expected to be eligible for contributions from other agencies or the private sector. Estimating the amount and timing of these contributions is not feasible as part of a high-level city-wide strategy. The level of investment required to implement the improvements recommended in the STP that are within municipal jurisdiction is approximately $685million (2023 CAD).

URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 91 - 5.2 PRINCIPLES This implementation plan identifies the capital improvements that have been prioritized for implementation within the next ten years. The priorities were identified based on the guiding principles included throughout the STP and summarized below:  Prioritize investments in walking and cycling infrastructure in the areas with the highest potential for use, including around schools and community centres, near transit stations and stops, and in areas with land uses that are higher density and mixed use.  Investments should, whenever possible, complete existing connections to create a complete and continuous network.  Lower cost improvements should be prioritized where they can be leveraged to serve more of the community or create a more connected network.  Prioritize connections that support climate resilience and emergency response.  Priority street and intersection improvements that target the areas where there is existing queuing or where the potential for safety improvements have been identified. It is recognized that some proposed improvements are located in areas that are likely to redevelop in the short - to medium- term. In some of these locations, there is not sufficient existing ROW to achieve the desired facility types. Improvements in these locations were assigned to the medium-term horizon to align with the expected re-development. 5.3 PHASING STRATEGY The transportation improvements identified throughout the STP have been prioritized based on the principles outlined above. Priority projects within each theme were identified for implementation over the short-term (0 – 10 years), medium-term (10 – 20 years), and long-term (beyond 20 years). The short-term and medium-term phases are described in more detail in the following sections. 5.3.1 SHORT -TERM IMPLEMENTATION PHASE The level of investment required to deliver the improvements identified within the short -term implementation phase is approximately $330 million over ten years. The proposed short-term improvements are illustrated in Figure 5-1.

URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 96 - 5.4 FUNDING STRATEGIES While the STP is estimated to cost approximately $685 million over the next 30 years and beyond, these costs can be shared by pursuing external funding from other levels of governments, partnerships with other organizations and the development industr y, and integration of improvements with other plans and projects. This section desc ribes several strategies that the City may consider to help leverage its investments and to maximize its ability to implement transportation improvements. The City should pursue all available sources of funding for transportation facilities and programs, i ncluding the programs identified below. As funding opportunities change regularly, the information in this section is subject to change. The City should regularly check with al l levels of government to keep up to date on current funding opportunities.  Capital Planning: The City should incorporate the recommendations from the STP into its short-, medium-, and long-term budgeting plans to ensure that the projects are accounted for in the City’s capital planning process. To accommodate this, the City may seek changes to its capital budget to fund the implementation of this Plan over the medium- and long-term. The City should also seek to integrate transportation improvements with other capital projects, such as utility projects.  Localized Improvements by the Private Sector: An important component of the implementation of the STP will be the City’s ability to leverage transportation investments during planning of new development projects. Many of the actions in the STP identify practices and approaches to align development contributions and the built environment in developing areas with the goals of the STP.  Development Cost Charges: The City has a DCC bylaw that should be updated to include projects identified in the STP. Where projects are already included, cost estimates should be updated. It should be emphasized that DCC eligible projects should not only include street network projects but can also include active transportation and transit projects that benefit new growth in the community.  Provincial Programs and Initiatives: The Provincial Government administers a smaller scale Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant program, which promotes new, safe, and high -quality active transportation infrastructure through cost- sharing with local governments. The grant program may provide funding for infrastructure to implement active transportation network plans adopted by the local government. To ensure maximum success at obtaining grant funding, the City needs to have conceptual designs ready to avail future application opportunities.  Federal Funding: There are federal programs that provide funding for environmental and local transportation infrastructure projects in municipalities across Canada. If deemed eligible, the federal government may contribute one third to a half of the infrastructure project cost. Provincial government may also contribute toward regionally significant projects. The Federal Government recently announced the National Active Transportation Fund (ATF), which will provide $400 million URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 97 - over five years to help build new and expanded active transportation facilities across the country. The federal Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund supports infrastructure projects strengthen the resilience of Canadian communities by mitigating current and future climate-related risks. This program is applicable to projects with a minimum in $1 million in total eligible costs.  TransLink: TransLink administers several municipal funding programs including Bicycle Infrastructure Capital Cost Sharing Program (BICCS), Walking Infrastructure to Transit (WITT), Bus Speed and Reliability (BSR), and Major Road Network & Bike Cost Share (MRNB) programs on an annual basis. The City should continue to work with TransLink to identify and fund eligible initiatives under these programs.  Green Municipal Funds: The Federation of Canadian Municipalities manages the Green Municipal Fund, with a total allocation of $550 million. This fund is intended to support local government efforts to reduce pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve quality of life. The expectation is that knowledge and experience gained in best practices and innovative environmental projects will be applied to national infrastructure projects. There are several funding streams that capital transportation projects would be eligible for cost share funding. More information about the funding streams available can be found at https://greenmunicipalfund.ca/funding.  Carbon Tax Rebate: Each municipality that has signed the Climate Action Charter receives an annual rebased based on completion of the CARIP form. The City could choose to direct this funding towards sustainable transportation projects, such as funding bicycle, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure.  ICBC: ICBC currently partners with the City to fund road safety improvements, including pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, where there is potential to reduce crashes and reduce insurance claims costs. In a ddition to ICBC’s Road Improvement Program, ICBC has a Speed Watch Program (through the Community Policing Centres), Speed and Intersection Safety Program, Counter Attack, Operation Red Nose, and Road Sense Speaker Program for Schools.  Local Area Service Program: The City has a Local Service Program that provides the ability for some road improvements to be constructed or accelerated. This legislated cost sharing process provides a means to implement localized infrastructure improvements such as sidewalks, curb and gutter, traffic calming, lane paving, and street lighting. Property owners directly benefitting from the work pay the full or partial cost of the project. A petition process is initiated by the property owners or the City to introduce or to avert a project, respectively.  Private Sector: Private sector corporations may wish to be good corporate neighbours— to be active in the community and to promote environmentally-beneficial causes. Bicycle and pedestrian routes and facilities may attract corpor ate sponsorship. Examples in BC include Construction Aggregates in Sechelt, which constructed an overpass over a gravel URBAN SYSTEMS CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN STRATEGIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – SEPTEMBER 2023 - 98 - conveyor to provide a link for pedestrians and cyclists, and 7-Eleven and Molson Breweries, which have sponsored multiuse pathways in Metro Vancouver.  Other Potential Revenue Streams: Other revenue streams sometimes leveraged by municipal governments for transportation investments include parking revenues ; advertising revenues from bus stop shelters and benches; Highway Use Permit duration-based charges; and civic facility sponsorship. URBAN SYSTEMS APPENDIX A STUDY PROCESS S TUDY P ROCESS The Plan was developed based on national best practices as well as local expertise and public input . This approach results in a plan that responds to how we get around today and how we want to get around in the future. The STP is the result of technical work completed throughout all phases of the study and is informed by both rounds of public and stakeholder engagement. It focuses on identifying the specific strategies and actions – including projects, policies, studies, and partnerships – that will move the City towards its Vision and Goals for transportation. It responds to the results of the work in Phases 1 through 3, which identified existing and future issues and set future directions through both technical planning and engineering work and public and stakehold er engagement.  PHASE 1: Project Launch & Administration – this phase includes preliminary project start up tasks and coordination between the project team and City Staff.  PHASE 2: Existing & Future Conditions – this phase focuses on technical analysis of existing and projected future conditions and the first round of public and stakeholder consultation. STP Report #1 summarizes the results of this phase.  PHASE 3: Vision, Goals, and Plan Development – this phase includes the development of an overarching Vision and Goals to guide the STP and identification of high-level plans for multi-modal networks.  PHASE 4: Strategy Development & Refinement – this phase results in the identification and assessment of strategies, as well as development, refinement, and assessment of potential infrastructure projects.  PHASE 5: Implementation & Final Plan – this phase completes the study with costing, and development of the final STP. This report summarizes the results of all five phases of the study.
