Township of Langley

Published purpose

In 2021, Township of Langley (Township) council unanimously adopted an ambitious Climate Action Strategy (CAS), which aims to reduce community emissions by 45% by 2030 and 100% by 2050. This plan is anchored by five ‘big moves’ and over 140 specific actions. One of the ‘big moves’ is for ‘more than half of current passenger vehicle trips be made by more sustainable means by 2030’. The Project will collect information and data from the Township and regional sources to establish safety classifications and design standards of the current network. The Township’s network will then be compared against modern Provincial and regional safety and design standards and targets, such as those established in the ‘British Columbia Active Transportation (BCAT) Design Guide 2019’, and in TransLink’s ‘State of Cycling in Metro Vancouver 2019’ document. The results will identify gaps in the system, challenges that may be preventing use, and prioritize locations for improvements that would increase active transportation use.
