This project identifies opportunities to convert aging local roads into ecological corridors, supporting Vancouver's climate emergency commitments and 11% road space reallocation target. Drawing on case studies from municipalities worldwide, it highlights effective approaches to reallocation. A mapping analysis of the City's internal datasets produced a recommended list of 17 local road candidates for transformation within the next 5 to 10 years.
