Granville Bridge Interim Connector
2020-Ongoing | Vancouver, British Columbia
False Creek has long been a barrier for people walking and cycling to and from downtown Vancouver. The Granville Bridge Interim Connector project was developed to create safer, more accessible active transportation routes on and around the bridge while improving connections into the surrounding street network.
Working as part of a multidisciplinary consulting team, McElhanney led the transportation and utilities design components, advancing the City’s 2D concepts into 3D design and Issued For Construction (IFC) drawings. Our work included drainage and utility design for the bridge, removal of the north side loop ramps, and development of a new local road network with active transportation infrastructure on Drake Street, Rolston Street, Continental Street, Pacific Street, and new south-end connections to and along 5th Avenue.
