In May 2022, we launched the second phase of engagement for the Upper Levels Greenway and presented three route options based on the priorities you told us were important. We also presented a number of design approaches and gathered input about how well each of the different approaches support the community priorities of safety and experience.

Over 800 survey responses were received and over 100 people attended in-person events to share their input. Learn more in the Phase 2 Engagement Summary.

The feedback we received indicates that the Purple Route is likely emerging as the preferred option to advance to the next phase of concept design. The public engagement period also helped us identify several technical questions that require further exploration in order to confirm the preferred route. Learn more in the Existing Conditions Summary.

Over the next few months, we will explore key feasibility questions related to:

1. Alignment options in Tempe Heights Park, including considerations around topography, accessibility, and forest and invasive species management
2. The condition of the berm between Lynn Valley Road and Tempe Heights Park
3. Intersection analysis and design options for safely crossing both Lonsdale and Westview Drive
4. Neighbourhood level traffic calming opportunities to reduce speeding and shortcutting while maintaining local access

The results of these investigations will be used to confirm the preferred route and develop the concept design for the Upper Levels Greenway. The community will have an opportunity to review the concept and provide feedback in early 2023.
