City of Vancouver's ODP

The City of Vancouver first designated the Arbutus Corridor as a transportation Corridor in 1985 and reiterated that position on additional occasions in the 1990's. In July of 2000, recognizing that CPR was preparing to abandon the use of the line for rail operations, and, as stated in the court decision, that the corridor, "was potentially an asset of unique importance for the public purposes of providing transportation," Vancouver City Council adopted by-law 8249, the Arbutus Corridor Official Development Plan. The ODP includes provisions for developing the Arbutus Corridor as a multi-use transportation/greenway corridor and detailed maps of the corridor.
