South Shore Corridor Project

Project Materials

Project Overview

One of the projects being proposed along the south shore is the South Shore Corridor Project, which is being developed to reduce road and rail conflicts and improve transportation access and reliability for businesses operating within the Port.  The project is bounded by Heatley Avenue and McGill Street along Vancouver's south shore, and is one of two high priority projects identified by Port Metro Vancouver, the City of Vancouver, Transport Canada, and Canada's two primary rail companies.  

Project Scope

While most of the South Shore Corridor Project will involve improvements on port lands, one of the project objectives is to reduce the effects of port operations on local streets as trade continues to grow. Key elements of the project include: 

1. A new Stewart Street Elevated Road between Clark Drive and Victoria Drive. 
2. A new Pedestrian Overpass at Victoria Drive.
3. Realigned Commissioner Street.
4. Intersection and roadway improvements on Stewart Street, Centennial Road and Commissioner Street to better manage truck access and egress at: 4A - Heatley Avenue, 4B - Clark Drive, 4C - McGill Street.
5. Reconfigured New Brighton Road to ensure future access to port land. 
6. Corridor-wide improvements including updated signage, installation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and fibre optic cable upgrades.
