A Bit About This Map The Port Terminal and Facility layers (2012) and the Infrastructure Projects layer (2013) were created by Metro Vancouver for conceptual purposes; locations are not exact. Project locations are approximate and project extents, where depicted, have been generalized for illustrative purposes. For more information about goods movement in the region, refer to Policy Backgrounder #1: Moving Goods through Marine Ports in Metro Vancouver (Metro Vancouver, 2013) at www.metrovancouver.org.

The Regional Growth Strategy and Goods Movement Legend This map sets out the spatial relationship between the Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) land use designations and major Goods Movement Infrastructure goods movement infrastructure. Goods Terminals Container Transloading Facilities The map illustrates the following broad patterns: • A significant amount of investment has been made to upgrade or expand road and rail infrastructure in recent years; Highways & Major Roads • Additional projects have been identified, such as port terminal expansions and a new water-crossing connecting Delta and Railways Richmond; • The Burrard Inlet and the Fraser River are strategic marine routes for the movement of goods; • Much of the RGS Industrial or Mixed Employment areas supporting goods movement are strategically located near the Regional Land Use Designations marine routes and serviced by highways, major roads, and railways; Industrial and Mixed Employment • The movement of goods traverse through either highly urbanized areas or RGS Agricultural areas. General Urban Agricultural, Conservation and Recreation, Rural Together, the complexity of goods movement infrastructure and the interaction with regional land use designations reveals a significant gap – the absence of a regional-scale plan for goods movement set within a broader vision for regional economic development, and coordinated with the implementation of the Regional Growth Strategy.
