What is the Cambie Corridor Plan?In 2009, Vancouver launched a three-phase

planning program to guide long-term growth in the

Cambie Corridor. The first two phases produced

the Cambie Corridor Plan (2011).

We’re now working on Phase 3 to build on the

approved Cambie Corridor Plan and look at the

surrounding neighbourhoods.

I n t r o

B

The Cambie Corridor is guided by seven overarching planning principles:

• Provide land use that optimizes the investment in transit

• Provide a complete community

• Create a walkable and cycleable Corridor of neighbourhoods seamlessly linked to public transit

• Focus intensity, mix and community activity at stations and other areas with strategic opportunities for sustainability, renewable energy and public amenity

• Provide a range of housing choices and affordability

• Balance citywide and regional goals with the existing community and its context

• Ensure job space and diversity

Explore opportunities for new ground-oriented housing forms
