elizabethpmv — 2012-10-16 13:36:18 -0700

Port Metro Vancouver is developing this site to provide truck staging in the event of traffic congestion, similar to what occurs today. This area will be widened, graded and paved and used to provide space for trucks to stage in the event of traffic congestion on the Port’s internal road system. This space will be able to stage up to 60 trucks for incident management, but it is expected that general use will be for up to 45 trucks. For more details about this development, please view the project map.

Includes elevating and realigning the existing Low Level Road, addresses slope stability, eliminates three at-grade rail crossings, improves road safety and accelerates the City's Spirit Trail Master Plan. This will increase the international competitiveness of the North Shore Trade Area by improving the efficiency of Port operations while addressing long-standing community needs.
