Carrall Street Greenway
The Carrall Street Greenway is a major public realm, community building and economic revitalization initiative.
The route will link north False Creek with the Burrard Inlet,
completing a seawall loop around Downtown and Stanley Park, and
connecting a series of parks, plazas and historic sites in Gastown,
Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and Chinatown.
Beyond providing a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly transportation
corridor, the greenway will also connect and build on the unique
heritage character of these neighbourhoods, encourage active ground
floor uses, and serve as a catalyst for economic revitalization and
community development.

PROJECT SUPPORT
This project has received significant support from the public and
private sectors as well as the local communities. The City of Vancouver
has approved $5 million for the Carrall Street Greenway in the
2006-2008 capital budget plan. As well, the Vancouver Agreement
partners and Bell Canada have committed $300,000 to the project as part
of the Downtown Eastside Economic Revitalization Plan.
In order to begin the revitalization of the area a number of public
realm projects along the greenway corridor have already been completed
with funding from the Vancouver Agreement partners in cooperation with
community organizations.
This project is led by the City of Vancouver's Engineering and Planning
departments and involves many other departments, including Park Board
and the Office of Cultural Affairs.
