Our Local Committee

HUB is an organization in the Greater Vancouver area that aims to get more people cycling more often. The Tri-Cities, Belcarra and Anmore Local Committee of HUB works specifically in the Tri-Cities, Belcarra and Anmore.

Bike advocacy in the Tri-Cities

Bike advocacy in the Tri-Cities is tricky because, well, there are three cities here! Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody have different municipal governments and engineering staffs, with different sets of priorities. The governments of Belcarra and Anmore are in the picture too. To further complicate matters, some of our most critical bike connections are along big infrastructure that is the responsibility of the provincial government. The Pitt River and Port Mann bridges are two examples. Finally, Metro Vancouver plans and maintains some bike infrastructure in Metro parks, such as the Sheep Paddock Trail in Colony Farm regional Park.

The HUB Tri-Cities Local Committee is focused on working with all these different governing bodies in a way that creates as much integration and cohesion as possible. Very few of us spends all their time in just one city, cycling routes that just one organization plans and maintains. We travel around the Tri-Cities and the region all the time. We need usable and connected infrastructure everywhere.

Tri-Cities Committee's Top Five Map Gaps

HUB's UnGap the Map campaign focuses on fixing the worst problem areas to create a connected cycling map.

Braid Station to Port Mann Bridge, Coquitlam.
Let's extend the Central Valley Greenway all the way to the Port Mann Bridge.
Guildford Way, Coquitlam City Hall to Port Moody City Hall.
This stretch is well served for confident grownups, but none of us is going to ride there with our kids anytime soon. It connects two Skytrain stations, many schools, two civic libraries, two city halls, multiple recreation complexes, multiple parks. It needs a separated lane on the north side, where there is a lot of room and very few cross-streets.
Pitt River Bridge to Coquitlam Center/ Lincoln Station, PoCo/ Coquitlam.
Clarke Road, Port Moody. Let's connect the Barnet Highway to Rocky Point Park and Moody Central Station!
Coquitlam Central Station to Port Mann Bridge, Coquitlam. This important transportation route is dead flat. Let's create a great bike connection here!.
