Improvements coming to East Columbia Street and Sherbrooke Street - The City of New Westminster has plans to turn East Columbia Street into a ‘Great Street’ – a more pedestrian- and cycling-friendly street with enhanced sidewalks, better lighting, bike lanes and safer intersections. As part of the Royal Columbian Hospital redevelopment, the project is required to improve the frontages around the campus. In partnership with the City, the project completion will improve accessibility and transportation management around the hospital campus, including along Sherbrooke Street. The works along Sherbrooke Street will include traffic calming measures at the intersections.
The work will be done in phases, between Keary Street and Sherbrooke Street, starting the last week of March. We expect the work to be complete by mid-December 2024.
When needed, flaggers will direct traffic and ensure access to the hospital. At least one lane will remain open at all times. We will provide regular updates on the phases of the work and any impacts to drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
Thank you for your patience as we work to enhance our community's infrastructure.
