Marpole Community Plan
The Marpole Community Plan (Appendix B, page 47/100) will focus on five areas:
- Land Use, Built Form and Infrastructure – what to build, where to build it, and what it will look like.
- Housing – maintaining affordability and diversity.
- Transportation and Connectivity – handling increased traffic from new developments and encouraging pedestrians and cyclists, even with five main arterials (Granville, Oak, Cambie, SW Marine and 70th) dividing our neighbourhood.
- Community Amenities and Facilities – figuring out the community’s needs and priorities, improving our aging facilities (Marpole Place, Community Centre and Library) to meet those needs, and where will the money come from?
- Public Realm, Parks, and Greening – improving our public spaces and parks (55% of our park space is poor quality compared to 20% city-wide), and increasing access to the Fraser River.
