Share your thoughts on the City’s updated plan for traffic improvements in Suter Brook Village

The City has collaborated with developer Onni on an updated plan for traffic and public space improvements in Suter Brook Village. We invite you to learn about the updated plan and share your thoughts with us. We’d also like to know your interest in exploring the option of closing Brew Street to traffic between Morrissey Road and Suter Brook Way to make the area car-free.

Through past public engagement, the City has heard residents’ concerns about traffic and public space issues in Suter Brook Village. City staff prepared a plan for addressing these concerns and City Council approved the Suter Brook Village Traffic and Public Space Implementation Plan in December 2019. The implementation plan included new loading zone designations on Morrissey Road and piloting the change of Brew Street, between Morrissey Road and Capilano Road, to one-way traffic. However, COVID-19, as well as constraints on material availability and inclement weather, delayed implementation of the change to one-way traffic. 

During the delay, City staff took the opportunity to work with developer Onni on an updated plan that expands the traffic calming measures and allows for temporary pilot features to be constructed in permanent form at the developer’s cost after a monitoring period. The updated plan includes measures to prioritize pedestrians and slow vehicle traffic such as:

• raised intersections;
• curb extensions;
• raised crosswalks;
• median extensions; and
• the permanent implementation of one-way traffic on Brew Street following a pilot period. 

To learn more about these measures, visit engage.portmoody.ca/suterbrook. You can also read about the project’s history, view a map, and find City Council reports. And be sure to fill out our community survey by April 3, 2022. Engage Port Moody, our public engagement hub, is your source for information and the place where you can share your ideas and help shape your city.
