The Royal Columbian Hospital redevelopment project aims to implement several aspects of the Columbia Street Great Street vision. The drawings below show how road space has been reallocated to widen sidewalks, enhancing the pedestrian corridor. Additionally, they feature separated bike lanes, improved bus stops, new trees, street lighting and landscaping. There are also intersection and signal improvements for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles at East Columbia and Keary Street, Hospital Street, and Sherbrooke Street.
Sherbrooke Street improvements have also reallocated road space to widen sidewalks, enhancing the pedestrian corridor. Additionally, the Central Valley Greenway connections are enhanced with separated bike lanes, new trees, street lighting and landscaping. There are also intersection improvements for traffic calming, pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles along Sherbrooke Street at Kelly Street, Fader Street and the local lanes.

Metro Vancouver is replacing the Central Park Water Main to help ensure the continued delivery of high-quality drinking water well into the future. The existing water main was built in the 1930s and is reaching the end of its service life.
The Pre-Build stage runs along Seventh Avenue from Fifth Street to Eighth Street and will be effected starting June 2024 for 2-3 months. This is also to accommodate the City's construction of the Crosstown Greenway.
Temporary full intersection closures as well as partial lane closures will occur throughout the project.
The following bus routes will be temporarily rerouted: 101, 105, 106 and 123.

Front Street Closure (e. columbia St to Begbie St)
Effective the week of June 17thPlease be advised that starting the week of June 17, we will implement a six-month full closure of Front Street between Begbie Street and E. Columbia Street. Front Street Mews will remain open.
This closure is required for crews to perform drainage work, install steel girders and build the new bridge deck across Front Street between the bridge foundation south of Columbia Street and the in-river foundation near the New Westminster shoreline.
While this full closure is in effect, drivers will be detoured to Columbia Street. Trucks will continue to use official truck routes (including observing applicable time restrictions). All traffic pattern changes and detours will be well signed, and traffic control personnel will be on site to direct traffic as required.

Expected Completion November 2024Updated September 2024
PROJECT DETAILS
The first phase of work is now complete, and the main trail access will be reopened to the public October 14th. Restoration efforts, including tree planting and habitat rehabilitation, are currently underway to restore the natural beauty of the ravine. Replanted and seeded areas will be ribboned off to allow the habitat to thrive undisturbed. This reclamation work will begin on September 30th and will continue for two weeks, with the trail expected to fully reopen on October 14th.
The second phase of the project will commence in late 2024/early 2025 to complete the diversion into the new infrastructure. This low-impact work will not require any trail closures and is expected to take 3-4 weeks from start to final completion.
Progress continues on the Kwantlen Court staircase, with wooden bases constructed, piles installed, and foundations scheduled to be poured during the week of September 30th. The staircase is anticipated to open to the public by late 2024.
We appreciate the community's patience and cooperation throughout the project.
