Does the city control SkyTrain and bus service?

TransLink runs transit; the city controls roads, sidewalks, bike routes, signals and land use around stations. The mayor's job is to align both.

How does traffic relate to jobs?

Good transportation and reliable infrastructure make Burnaby more attractive for investment and head offices. Jobs closer to home mean stronger local businesses and a broader tax base.

What about e-bikes and e-scooters?

They are here and growing. Burnaby needs a clear, safe program with sensible rules and connected routes so riders and pedestrians both feel secure.

How can Burnaby reduce traffic congestion and make getting around safer?

Plan ahead for growth, cut congestion, and make school runs safer.

The short answer

Burnaby is growing faster than its road, transit and sidewalk network. Vision 2030 makes infrastructure the top priority: plan ahead of development instead of behind it, fix the worst congestion points, and make school drop-offs and pick-ups safer for children and families.

Three things to know

Infrastructure that arrives after the towers do is infrastructure that never catches up.
Less time stuck in traffic is more time with family — congestion is a quality-of-life issue, not only an engineering one.
Reliable transportation is one of the first things an employer looks at before locating jobs or a head office here.

The honest comparison

What residents are asking

Has infrastructure kept pace with how much has been approved?
Why is the school drop-off near me still unsafe after years of complaints?
Why do we dig up the same corridor twice in three years?

My approach

Adopt an Infrastructure Before Development standard: identify road, intersection, pedestrian, cycling and transit needs before major approvals, not after residents feel the impact.
Launch Safe Streets 2030, prioritising high-risk intersections and school routes for better lighting, sidewalks, crossings, traffic calming and connected cycling routes.
Coordinate road work and build a Metrotown–SFU mobility plan with transit priority, safer walking and cycling connections, and measurable congestion results.

What you can hold me to

01Publish a ranked list of Burnaby's highest-risk intersections and congestion points, then report annually on what was fixed.
02Review school drop-off and pick-up routes, crossings, sidewalks and lighting, acting on the highest-risk locations first.
03Create a public transportation results dashboard covering congestion, collisions, project delivery and active transportation.
