Redesign of 16th Avenue / SW Marine Drive Intersection Final Design Report

University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning

The intersection of SW Marine Drive and 16th Avenue is a gateway that connects UBC to Vancouver. Currently, the intersection lacks critical environmental, efficiency, and safety measures in the form of erosion, space management, and speeding. The redesign of this intersection will focus on achieving the goals of creating additional green space, promoting active transportation, reducing vehicle speeds, and creating a visual gateway. To achieve these goals, the design team focused on better utilizing the large site area and simplifying the intersection. The redesign of the intersection includes a 3-phase traffic signal that eliminates the need for slip lanes. This design creates plenty new green infrastructure, significantly lowers speeds, gives active transport users protection, and creates a informative gateway for the campus. The project is expected to take 4 months to complete with construction starting on May 6th, 2024 and ending on September 4th, 2024. The overall cost of the project is estimated to be $4,235,560.00 CAD.
