BURNABY TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE PUBLIC CONSULTATION SUMMARY REPORT | iii iv | BURNABY TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE PUBLIC CONSULTATION SUMMARY REPORT About the Burnaby Transportation Plan Update

The Burnaby Transportation Plan is the City’s guiding policy document for transportation. It establishes the long-term vision for moving people and goods in the City, while integrating and achieving environmental, social, economic, and community development goals.

In Burnaby, transportation planning encompasses not just the process of going to a place, but the experience of how to get there. Enhancing quality of life, economic prosperity, environmental stewardship, community and place-making are core values in the provision of the transportation system.

The Burnaby Transportation Plan update was launched on July 10, 2017 with the approval of the Council Report outlining the process for the Plan update.

The Plan update was needed because the existing Burnaby Transportation Plan (1995 Plan) is more than 20 years old and much has changed in the City within that time frame. The Plan update is intended to address the following:

ƒƒ Accommodating Growth and Lifestyle Shifts; ƒƒ Economic and Affordability Shifts; ƒƒ Planning and Policy Shifts; and, ƒƒ Technology Shifts.

The Plan update will better enable Burnaby to respond to these changes, plan for the challenges ahead, and coordinate investments to meet the City’s strategic transportation goals. It is the opportunity to consider innovative approaches, think about the “big picture”, and consider a broad range of possible solutions.

In addition, an updated Plan will continue to support the necessary foundational components of transportation and civic functions such as accessing property, connecting people to destinations, ensuring public safety, and providing access for public services (police, fire, ambulance, utilities, etc.).

At its core, the renewed Plan will provide transportation options and choices that support land use, services, and the citizens of Burnaby.

2 | BURNABY TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE PUBLIC CONSULTATION SUMMARY REPORT Public Consultation Framework

The scope and significance of undertaking a renewed Burnaby Transportation Plan called for a consultation program that engaged a variety of stakeholders, inclusive of Burnaby residents and businesses, as well as other organizations and agencies that have an interest in Burnaby’s transportation system. The public consultation was proactive in reaching out to and engaging a broad spectrum of people in an interesting and informative way.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION OBJECTIVES The public consultation program for the Plan update sought to:

ƒƒ reach a broad audience including residents, employees, businesses owners, service providers, and other stakeholders; ƒƒ raise awareness of existing transportation policies, programs, and regulations; ƒƒ raise awareness of the process and opportunities for input; ƒƒ outline the existing and future transportation issues and opportunities to the community; ƒƒ gain a better understanding of public opinion on key issues; ƒƒ address the needs of various stakeholders by providing a range of consultation formats; ƒƒ acknowledge and build upon existing partnerships; and, ƒƒ build support for the renewed Burnaby Transportation Plan.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION: A GRADUATED APPROACH In an effort to maximize the reach and scope of the public consultation, the following “graduated” approach was used. This approach employed strategies intended to inform, engage, involve, and seek input from the public and stakeholders. It was organized around three styles of communication:

ƒƒ Process Awareness (Inform) Focused on communicating with the broader public about the Plan update. The activities were designed to provide general information about the process, transportation system, and the vision for the future.

ƒƒ Broad Public Consultation (Inform and Engage) Focused on providing opportunities for the broader public to be engaged in the process. The activities were designed to distribute information about the Plan update and the transportation system, as well as to invite feedback and discussion.
