Stanley Park Mobility Study
繁體中文 | 简体中文 | ਪੰਜਾਬ | Tagalog | Tiếng Việt | 한국어 | 日本語 | Español
The Vancouver Park Board is undertaking a Mobility Study to explore options for improving access and the experience in Stanley Park. The focus of the study is Stanley Park Drive, which has not changed in 130 years, despite Vancouver’s population growing rapidly and tourism at an all-time high. The park now attracts over 18 million visitors every year, so we want to know what can be done to handle more visitors without having to build more roads and remove forest. This is our chance to rethink mobility in Stanley Park to meet everyone’s needs while protecting what we love most about the park.
Get Involved:
We are now in the final phase of the study. This phase will explore six possible mobility options for Stanley Park. These options are based on previous engagement to understand how people use and value Stanley Park.
- For more information on the six potential options, read the Mobility Options package (PART 1) (PDF, 8.7 MB).
- To understand how the options were developed, read the Evaluation Process package (Part 2) (PDF, 2.4 MB).
Stanley Park is a significant place to the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. This project is an important component of the Stanley Park Comprehensive Plan.

Project background
Share Project background on Facebook Share Project background on Twitter Share Project background on Linkedin Email Project background linkWith well over 18 million visits per year, Stanley Park is one of the most popular and well-used city parks in Canada. Located at the heart of downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park plays a major role in the overall traffic network of the region.
Stanley Park is also one of the top tourist destinations in Vancouver and British Columbia, with approximately 39% of all visitors to Vancouver making it a stop on their priority list. There are attractions in the park that draw visitors and locals alike, and Park Drive as a perimeter feature connects several destinations and plays a central role in how people visit the park. The Mobility Study will consider the role the transportation system plays in supporting this network.
The Stanley Park Mobility Study stems from two initiatives in the park.
One is the need to study the use, efficiency and the potential future of the transportation network in the park, identified during the Stanley Park Comprehensive Plan process.
The other is a Park Board motion inspired by the “car-free” pilot project, and the increase in pedestrian and cyclist use of the park, in summer 2020. The car-free pilot was implemented in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was followed by the temporary bike lane pilot, beginning in summer 2021 through to today.
On June 8, 2020, the Park Board passed a motion to direct staff to: “explore the long term feasibility of reducing motor vehicle traffic in Stanley Park, including but not restricted to, reducing roadways to single lanes while maintaining access to the park, while increasing accessibility for those with disabilities.”
This motion established the need for the Stanley Park Mobility Study, separate from but informing the Comprehensive Plan.

Project purpose
Share Project purpose on Facebook Share Project purpose on Twitter Share Project purpose on Linkedin Email Project purpose linkThe Stanley Park Mobility Study will examine the feasibility of different approaches for reducing vehicle traffic in the park through data collection, analysis and engagement. The project involves transportation planning experts, mobility data specialists, and economic specialists, supported by engagement with Park Stakeholders, and a multi-disciplinary team of Park Board and City of Vancouver staff.
The outcomes of this study will help support and inform future planning work, including the Stanley Park Comprehensive Plan, a long-range plan and 100-year vision for the park currently underway in partnership with Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. The Mobility Study will also help support many other goals and initiatives in the park through the following:
- Improve mobility patterns and safety throughout the park
- Understand priorities, park visitation pattern changes, and forecast trends
- More effectively manage service levels and resource allocations
- Help in the restoration of forest, wetland, and shoreline habitats and ecosystems and ensure the park's protection, restoration, and resiliency for future generations.
Have your say on potential mobility options for Vancouver's Stanley Park
- Did you know that Stanley Park Drive was first developed in the late 19th century? Fast forward over 130 years and it really hasn’t changed very much. 18 million people visit the park each year and that number continues to grow. To protect the park experience and manage over-crowding, we need to plan for the future needs of the park and its visitors.
