  • Existing Truck Routes Appendix “V” - Map of Proposed Truck Route Revisions
    CORPORATE REPORT NO: R152 COUNCIL DATE: July 22, 2019 REGULAR COUNCIL TO: Mayor & Council DATE: July 17, 2019 FROM: Acting General Manager, Engineering FILE: 8630-30 SUBJECT: Regional Harmonization of Truck Definition and Updating the Highway and Traffic Bylaw RECOMMENDATION The Engineering Department recommends that Council: 1. Receive this report for information; 2. Approve amendments to the Highway and Traffic By-law, 1997, No. 13007, as amended, as documented in Appendix “I” to this report; 3. Authorize the City Clerk to bring forward the necessary amendment Bylaw for the required readings; 4. Support proposed housekeeping amendments to Schedule C – Truck Routes of the Highway and Traffic By-law, 1997, No. 13007, as amended, as documented in Appendix “II” to this report for minor road name corrections and revisions; and 5. Authorize staff to submit the request for the amendments identified in Appendix “II” to TransLink in order to gain the authority pursuant to the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Act, [SBC 1998]. INTENT The purpose of this report is to inform Council about the collaborative work of staff with TransLink to harmonize the definition of heavy trucks across the Metro Vancouver region and seek Council approval to the proposed truck definition and proposed amendments to truck routes identified in Appendix II. BACKGROUND In Metro Vancouver, municipalities typically designate truck routes, defined through a municipal Bylaw, to be roadways where heavier trucks must travel until it is no longer possible to use a truck route to reach the intended destination. Designating specified truck routes helps to focus heavy truck traffic on key major arterial roadways that are better suited to accommodate that traffic.
