BURNABY TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE PUBLIC CONSULTATION SUMMARY REPORT | 1
The Burnaby Transportation Plan is the City’s guiding policy document for transportation. It establishes the long-term vision for moving people and goods in the City, while integrating and achieving environmental, social, economic, and community development goals.
In Burnaby, transportation planning encompasses not just the process of going to a place, but the experience of how to get there. Enhancing quality of life, economic prosperity, environmental stewardship, community and place-making are core values in the provision of the transportation system.
The Burnaby Transportation Plan update was launched on July 10, 2017 with the approval of the Council Report outlining the process for the Plan update.
The Plan update was needed because the existing Burnaby Transportation Plan (1995 Plan) is more than 20 years old and much has changed in the City within that time frame. The Plan update is intended to address the following:
� Accommodating Growth and Lifestyle Shifts; � Economic and Affordability Shifts; � Planning and Policy Shifts; and, � Technology Shifts.
The Plan update will better enable Burnaby to respond to these changes, plan for the challenges ahead, and coordinate investments to meet the City’s strategic transportation goals. It is the opportunity to consider innovative approaches, think about the “big picture”, and consider a broad range of possible solutions.
In addition, an updated Plan will continue to support the necessary foundational components of transportation and civic functions such as accessing property, connecting people to destinations, ensuring public safety, and providing access for public services (police, fire, ambulance, utilities, etc.).
At its core, the renewed Plan will provide transportation options and choices that support land use, services, and the citizens of Burnaby.

Public Consultation FrameworkThe scope and significance of undertaking a renewed Burnaby Transportation Plan called for a consultation program that engaged a variety of stakeholders, inclusive of Burnaby residents and businesses, as well as other organizations and agencies that have an interest in Burnaby’s transportation system. The public consultation was proactive in reaching out to and engaging a broad spectrum of people in an interesting and informative way.
PUBLIC CONSULTATION OBJECTIVES
The public consultation program for the Plan update sought to:
� reach a broad audience including residents, employees, businesses owners, service providers, and other stakeholders;
� raise awareness of existing transportation policies, programs, and regulations;
� raise awareness of the process and opportunities for input; � outline the existing and future transportation issues and
opportunities to the community; � gain a better understanding of public opinion on key issues; � address the needs of various stakeholders by providing a
range of consultation formats; � acknowledge and build upon existing partnerships; and, � build support for the renewed Burnaby Transportation Plan.
PUBLIC CONSULTATION: A GRADUATED APPROACH
In an effort to maximize the reach and scope of the public consultation, the following “graduated” approach was used. This approach employed strategies intended to inform, engage, involve, and seek input from the public and stakeholders. It was organized around three styles of communication:
� Process Awareness (Inform) Focused on communicating with the broader public about the Plan update. The activities were designed to provide general information about the process, transportation system, and the vision for the future.
� Broad Public Consultation (Inform and Engage)Focused on providing opportunities for the broader public to be engaged in the process. The activities were designed to distribute information about the Plan update and the transportation system, as well as to invite feedback and discussion.
4 | BURNABY TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE PUBLIC CONSULTATION SUMMARY REPORT
� Targeted Engagement (Inform, Engage, and Involve) Focused on interactions with internal and external stakeholders. The activities were designed to encourage topic-specific or mode-specific discussions, explore issues and opportunities, and garner detailed input.

The Draft Vision
The primary objective of Phase 1 is to set the direction for the renewed Plan beginning with a vision.
So what is a vision? It is an aspirational description of what the community would like to achieve and is
intended to serve as a clear guide for choosing current and future courses of action.
The draft vision for the renewed Burnaby Transportation Plan considers the question:
What if Burnaby’s streets were not just corridors for movement, but public space to be enjoyed by all?

Phase 1: Setting a Direction for Burnaby’s Transportation Future
Help us plan how we will move now and into the future!
The City of Burnaby is excited to be launching an update of the Burnaby Transportation Plan. Much has
changed in our community since the adoption of the previous 1995 Plan. A renewed Plan will enable
Burnaby to respond to these changes, plan for the challenges ahead, and coordinate investments to
meet the community’s long term transportation needs. In this first phase of the Plan update we have the
opportunity to think about the “big picture” for transportation, including the Vision, Themes, and Goals.
Future phases will include “Building the Plan” which will include defining the policies, networks, and
actions as well as “Developing an Implementation Strategy” to advance the renewed Plan.
Before You Start:
The questionnaire has 3 sections:
1. Tell us if the draft vision for the future sets the right direction
2. Tell us if the draft six (6) themes and their accompanying goals set the right direction
3. Tell us about you
The questionnaire is tailored to provide you with maximum choice. You can respond to:
� The draft vision (about 2 minutes);
� A few draft themes and goals (about 5 minutes); or,
� All of the draft themes and goals (about 15minutes).
The choice is yours!
Note: All questionnaire responses will be confidential. Responses will not be identified by individual, but will
be compiled together and analyzed as a group.

28 | BURNABY TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE PUBLIC CONSULTATION SUMMARY REPORT
Sampling of Comments Received During the Phase 1 Public Consultation(AUGUST 2, 2017 - NOVEMBER 30, 2017)
SkyTrain stations need kiss-and-ride spaces. An able-bodied person can hop out quickly at the curb (i.e., blocking traffic for a moment) but someone with a wheelchair needs more time. Rapid transit north-south
connecting Metrotown and Brentwood Town Centres.
Need high-quality transit (comfortable, convenient, adequate capacity) to attract people out of their cars.
For seniors, a barrier to mobility is also a barrier to health (remaining active).
All of us are responsible for making this vision become reality - to be a community we must have buy-in and universal access to this system.
I don’t think it’s realistic to ever achieve an enjoyable driving experience in Burnaby. There are safety improvements to be made and minor improvements possible in traffic flow, but realistically, the way to improve driving experience is to get more people out of their cars so the roads are less congested for the remaining drivers. However, less congested roads will bring people back into their cars so at best it’s a zero sum game. More focus on transit and cycling. Less street parking would increase road space for all users. Increased car share services would reduce demand for street parking.
Lane markings are not visible when it rains - not enough reflective markings.
Burnaby must make it a priority to remove impediments from sidewalks - such as telephone poles! Their presence indicates a disrespect for pedestrians.
I can’t think of anything you missed. It all seems quite utopian. More of a dream than a plan. If this is the direction that will inform future decision making, then hooray. There is a lot of work to do.
Need more public EV charging stations
Bike network - not family friendly - need “all ages and abilities” bike routes.
Transportation system in Burnaby is very good. I do not think we should create new road or bridges. We need to invest to repair the existing roads to support the system.
BURNABY TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE PUBLIC CONSULTATION SUMMARY REPORT | 29
Need a ramp off Highway 1 onto North Road.
Buses and SkyTrains are standing room only at all times of the day and night. More buses and trains are needed.
I would like to suggest for the notion of “sharing” to be included and clearly mentioned. The public space is shared by people, the transportation infrastructure is shared by people, the transportation solutions are shared by people. Without individuals and organizations able and willing to respectfully share with others, there is no path to a prosperous community (and a good multi-modal transportation system).
We must try to give people alternatives to using their cars. With climate change, continuing heavy vehicle use is not an option. Not only should provide incentives for people to drive smaller cars, but we must also encourage cycling and walking and transit options.
Spending too much on roads and not enough of sidewalks etc.
Better north-south connectivity - and wayfinding to make it clear how you can go north-south.
Many of these goals can be met by installing sidewalks which encourages people to walk instead of drive. If residents have safe, walkable areas, they will walk to do errands, pick up groceries, and simply walk around their neighbourhoods which increases safety, security and “connected communities”, which happens organically when neighbours know each other.
We need to flip the pyramid – Prioritize walking, cycling, transit, goods, and then the car.
Build more sidewalks (complete the walking network) near schools
I would like explicit acknowledgment of Kingsway as Burnaby’s most important street. Kingsway, as it is now, is a terrible environment. There needs to be a balance on that road so that it supports street life as well as various transportation modes, not just the car.
Difficult to get around by car - too many cars on the road.
What is the transportation impact of online shopping (more deliveries)?
30 | BURNABY TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE PUBLIC CONSULTATION SUMMARY REPORT
ConclusionThe input received throughout the Phase 1 Public Consultation Program has set the direction for the new Plan and provided information on the issues and opportunities that will feed into or form parts of the work during Phase 2 of the Burnaby Transportation Plan update process.
BURNABY TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE PUBLIC CONSULTATION SUMMARY REPORT | 31
Next Steps
Phase 1 of the Burnaby Transportation Plan update was set up to identify transportation issues and opportunities in the City and determine the Vision, Themes, and Goals to establish an overall direction for the renewed Plan.
Phase 1: Setting a Direction of the Burnaby Transportation Plan update is complete. The Phase 2: Building the Plan work is about to begin.
Phase 2 will focus on building the Policies, Networks, and Actions for the main body of the renewed Plan. The findings from Phase 1 will be incorporated into the work of Phase 2. The activities to be undertaken in Phase 2 will include:
� Research and Analysis � Policy and Plan Development � Public Consultation � Reporting
Please stay tuned for further opportunities to provide input, review materials, and be involved in the future of Burnaby’s transportation system.

46 | BURNABY TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE PUBLIC CONSULTATION SUMMARY REPORT
Burnaby’s Transportation HistoryBurnaby’s transportation system has helped to shape and define the City as seen today. The oldest streets, such as Kingsway, North Road, Marine Drive, and Douglas Road, began as footpaths linking key destinations. Early tramlines along the Kingsway Ridge and in the Central Valley connected the City to Vancouver and New Westminster. The completion of major public transportation infrastructure projects such as the Expo Line, Millennium Line, and the Evergreen Extension has enabled the City to continue to focus growth in the Town Centres and Urban Villages. Major streets and highways, such as Willingdon Avenue, Hastings Street, Lougheed Highway, and the Trans-Canada Highway, have provided connections across the City. Multi-use pathways and trails, such as the BC Parkway and the Central Valley Greenway, have linked neighbourhoods within the City, as well as neighbouring municipalities, for pedestrians and cyclists. The City has grown up around these multi-modal networks, setting the stage for how to build, organize, access, enjoy, and use the City.
