Highway 91A and Howes Street Multi-Use Pathway Project

This project will upgrade an existing pathway along the southbound side of Howes Street between Ewen Avenue and Boyd Street, replacing it with a multi-use pathway that improves connectivity and safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

This new pathway contributes to a larger initiative to improve active transportation opportunities throughout Queensborough and connect the residential and commercial areas divided by the Highway 91A Queensborough Connector.

At the Boyd Street intersection the new pathway will tie-in to the upgraded Boyd Street pathway being constructed by the City of New Westminster. 

The project includes:

• 4 m wide multi-use path
• New lighting
• Drainage enhancements
• Improved pedestrian and cyclist crossings.
