Guildford Way Transportation Road Improvements

We've upgraded Guildford Way from the Port Moody border to Pinetree Way to make walking, biking and rolling more enjoyable while improving road safety. The active transportation and road safety improvements create more options for people between where they live, work, learn, play, or shop by improving:

  • Safety and comfort for those using micromobility (cycling, scooters) for all ages and abilities
  • Accessibility for people using wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility aids
  • Intersection safety and operations for drivers, micromobility users, and people walking at one of the City’s high-risk crash locations at Pinetree Way and Guildford Way
  • This will also help to support the City’s Strategic Transportation Plan 2050 goals of zero serious injuries and fatalities (Vision Zero), zero transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and 50% of all trips by walking, micromobility and transit.

Read through the following display panels for information on Phases 1 and 2 of this project, and to learn how to navigate Guildford Way's new features and the intersection changes. 

Project Information and Details

Phase 1 - from Port Moody to Johnson Street

In 2023, Guildford Phase 1 was completed and improvements included:

  • Protected micromobility lanes using quick-build concrete curbs
  • Improved bus stops that allow the micromobility lanes to pass through
  • Maintained four vehicle lanes and turn lanes to accommodate people driving and taking transit 

Phase 2 - from Johnson Street to Pinetree Way

In spring 2025, Guildford Phase 2 was completed – changes and improvements include:

  •  Raised, one-way protected micromobility lanes
  • Wider sidewalks with visible and detectable separation between the sidewalk and micromobility lane
  • Full traffic signals at the intersections of Pacific Street and Town Centre Boulevard
  • Protected intersection at Guildford Way and Pinetree Way with protected left turns, shorter pedestrian crossings and no-right-turn-on-red for people driving
  • Improved street lighting
  • Curb ramps
  • Upgraded bus stop waiting areas designed to meet TransLink’s new accessibility guidelines
  • Road repaving for a smoother and safer surface
  • Boulevard beautification and landscaping

Grant Funding 

The cost for Guildford Phase 1 totaled $1.2 million and the cost for Phase 2 totaled $4.8 million, with $3 million funded by regional and provincial partners. The City of Coquitlam received $2.5 million from TransLink’s Local Government Cost Share Programs, $500,000 from the BC Active Transportation Infrastructure Grants Program and $134,000 from ICBC. The remaining funds came from Development Cost Charges that help serve the growth within the City Centre Area.
