A sub-region of Metro Vancouver, specifically its centralmost area, will have its own transportation plan called the Burrard Peninsula Area Transport Plan (BPATP).

TransLink announced today it is conducting public consultation towards creating a transportation for the Burrard Peninsula, which entails the geographical area encompassing the City of Vancouver, City of Burnaby, City of New Westminster, University of British Columbia and the University Endowment Lands, and various First Nations.

This new sub-area plan will identify and prioritize recommendations related to public transit, cycling, walking, driving, and goods movement.

The BPATP will build on TransLink’s Transport 2050 plan of a 30-year regional transportation strategy.

For the areas within the Burrard Peninsula, the public transit authority last conducted a sub-region plan for Burnaby/New Westminster in 2003, Vancouver/UBC in 2005, and Downtown Vancouver in 2015.
