Creating a Regional Greenway Network
Metro Vancouver, municipalities and community groups are working together to create this regional greenway network. Although the routes may take several years to establish, one day you will be able to walk, cycle or watch wildlife along greenways throughout the region.

Wherever possible, greenways are integrated with utility development to take advantage of sizable linear corridors comprising Metro Vancouver's water and sewer network. There are four greenways currently under development which, when completed, will provide approximately 100 kilometres of trails. They are:

Brunette-Fraser Regional Greenway
This is the first link in the regional greenway network and is part of the Central Valley Greenway connecting Vancouver to New Westminster. When completed, it will extend 16 km from Burnaby Mountain to the Fraser River. It follows the Burnaby Mountain Urban Trail; drainage corridors along Stoney Creek and the Brunette River, and streets in New Westminster to reach Sapperton Landing and, eventually, New Westminster Quay. Some sections are sewer and storm water service routes - be prepared to encounter large trucks.

Delta-South Surrey Regional Greenway
This new regional greenway runs from Annacis Island to Mud Bay along the South Surrey Interceptor sewer corridor and will be under construction over the next five years.  The 2.3 km section between 64th Avenue and Highway 10 is officially open.  Also Surrey’s Mud Bay Park which serves as the southern terminus is open and connects to the Boundary Bay Dyke Trail. This greenway will one day provide connections between Delta’s Nature Reserve and Watershed Park, Surrey’s Joe Brown Park and Mud Bay Park, the Serpentine Greenway and Boundary Bay Regional Park

Pitt River Regional Greenway
The first phase of the Pitt River Regional Greenway is now open, stretching 10.2 km west from the waterfront parkland at Harris Landing (at the foot of Harris Road in Pitt Meadows) to Ferry Slip Road. The greenway follows the Fraser and Pitt River dykes, offering excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and bird watching. Enjoy beautiful views of mountains, rivers and working farmland. Watch for wildlife including seal, muskrat, osprey, hawks and ducks.

Additional sections of the trail will be completed over the next 10 years, following the dykes wherever possible. Once complete, the greenway will stretch some 30 kilometres to Grant Narrows Regional Park, linking to a network of municipal trails, the Trans Canada Trail, and Allouette River dyke trails. Planned bridge and airport construction may affect access at times, so please watch for detours and obey all signs.

Seymour River Greenway
As part of the regional greenway network, Seymour River Regional Greenway will, in the long term, connect the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve to Burrard Inlet, near the mouth of the Seymour River. It will pass by Capilano University, Maplewood Farm, and through the Maplewood community and industrial area. Much of the greenway is still in the planning stages except for the existing portion through the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve. Metro Vancouver and the District of North Vancouver are working in partnership on the planning and construction of a new trail segment which will connect from Monashee Drive to Mount Seymour Parkway via the BC Hydro corridor east of Capilano University. This new trail segment is anticipated to be substantially complete and open by late autumn 2010.
