Street Network
Waterfront Road
Waterfront Road is a new street to be constructed at the edge of the riverfront dike. It will connect with
No. 3 Road and the new extension of West Road to form a full loop through the site. Waterfront Road
will have travel lanes with bicycle sharrow areas and pockets for parallel parking and taxi / bus stops.
The street is intended to be particularly pedestrian friendly in much the same fashion as the streets
surrounding Granville Island Market, since pedestrians are anticipated and encouraged to wander back
and forth from the shops, services and restaurants on the building face to the waterfront promenade and
restaurants. Accordingly, the street will incorporate facilities like special paving and raised crosswalks to
slow vehicular traffic down and make the street pedestrian friendly.

Section C – Waterfront Road
West Road will be extended a short distance towards the river in an alignment that follows the existing
Kinder Morgan jet fuel pipeline. This street will also have dual vehicle / bicycle lanes, since volumes and
speeds are anticipated to be low. There will be pockets for parallel parking and taxi / bus stops. Travel
speeds will be slowed by use of the same facilities as on Waterfront Road.
