Park Circulation
Existing trails are typically narrow widths (1.5 m to 2 m) with asphalt surfacing
New trails around the updated sports fields and New Minoru Complex are wider and oriented towards multi-use
Analysis shows missing links in the network, notably east-west connections across the park and places where perimeter surface parking interrupts pedestrian, cyclist, and roller movements into the park
Transit stops exist on all the major roads surrounding the park
Wayfinding and trail markers are limited
Cycling lanes or shared lane markings are provided on Minoru Blvd, Granville Ave, and Gilbert St
There is no cycling provision on Westminster Hwy at the north end of the park
There are no designated cycling routes through Minoru Park and narrow trails are not well-suited to multi-modal use
The New Minoru Complex will incorporate new bike parking, but end-of-trip cycling facilities (e.g., bike lock-up, covered bike parking) may warrant consideration at other park facilities or destinations
Vehicle circulation is limited to perimeter of the park where parking is accessed; there are no roads through the park
There is existing vehicle access from each of the surrounding roads – Granville Ave, Gilbert St, Westminster Hwy, and Minoru Blvd into parking areas
Parking reconfiguration and improved site access in the south part of the park are being provided through the New Minoru Complex facility
