Dean Park • the Majority of the Neighbourhood Is Located More Than 400M Away from Transit Service, a Standard That BC Transit Strives to Meet in Every Community

Proposed Transit Improvement: Dean Park • The majority of the neighbourhood is located more than 400m away from transit service, a standard that BC Transit strives to meet in every community. • There are a number of steep hills, making it difficult for the aging population to age in place. • The proposed route would connect the neighbourhood with key local destinations on the Peninsula as well as provide connections to regional transit routes and destinations.
