Depot Road Active Transportation

Overview
The District will install a new protected multi-use pathway on the north side of Highway 99 to Government Road. The new pathway will connect to bike lanes on Government Road to provide a safe, comfortable and accessible pedestrian and cyclist connection.

This project will increase safety for all users at intersections by improving lighting, installing rectangular rapid flashing beacons and enhancing accessibility.

Background
The District’s Active Transportation Plan identified Depot Road as a high priority for improved infrastructure to provide a safe east-west connection for active transportation users.

Multi-use pathways provide shared space for people walking and biking away from motor vehicle lanes. Squamish All Ages and Abilities Cycling Route survey participants identified off-street multi-use pathways as their top choice of active transportation infrastructure.

Impacts:

• Construction hours will be 7 am to 7 pm Monday to Saturday.
• Residents should expect increased noise level and short-term traffic disruptions while work is underway.
