Commitment: Continue development of Maple Ridge's Strategic Transportation Plan with a focus on safe commuting for school-aged children.

Record: Endorsed a new 30-year Strategic Transportation Plan, replacing a version that hadn't been touched since 2014, and put the school-safety piece into action right away: 80+ light-controlled crosswalks installed in 2025 alone, upgrades to known trouble spots like Kanaka Way, and speed bumps on McClure so kids can get to school safely, without a 45-minute wait in the drop-off line.

Commitment: Make land-use decisions that allow residents to enjoy complete communities with services closer to home, reducing the need to drive long distances for daily needs.

Record: Directed growth toward the Haney core and transit corridors through an updated Town Centre Area Plan and a new Lougheed Transit Corridor plan, putting more homes within walking distance of shops, transit, and everyday services. Fewer long drives for groceries, appointments, or the bus, because the things residents need are closer to where they live.

Commitment: Support smart development that includes safe active transportation routes, to support the growing use of bikes.

Record: Completed the widened and upgraded Abernethy Way with new active transportation features, built a new multi-use path on 123rd Street, and updated the city's parking bylaw to require more long-term bike parking in new developments. Work continues on key routes like Thorne Avenue to connect more of the city safely by bike.

Status: 🟡 Underway

Commitment: Address traffic congestion by exploring arterial routes, traffic calming measures, and working with the provincial government to alleviate traffic flow on Lougheed Highway.

Record: Advanced Abernethy Way to connect 232nd to 240th, easing pressure on residential streets and opening the door to future growth in the North 256th industrial lands. Secured funding to expand Golden Ears Way between the Ridge and 210th. Congestion doesn't get solved overnight, but the roads that will fix it are moving.

Status: 🟡 Underway

Commitment: Advocate with TransLink for Maple Ridge to be included as a pilot city for the 2050 Bus Rapid Transit program, and for expansion and funding of bus service.

Record: Secured Maple Ridge's spot in the first wave of Bus Rapid Transit construction, with the Lougheed Transit Corridor now formally tied to TransLink's planned route and station locations. Added a summer bus route between Haney Place Mall and Golden Ears Park in the meantime; real transit is coming, and we're not waiting around for it.
