Exploring the Benefi ts of

COQUITLAM PORT COQUITLAM PORT MOODY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, [email protected] • 604-435-7977
A Vancouver-based team of
researchers called Slow Streets
wants to shake up the way we
think about who and what streets are
for. Does our current model of road-
ways designed predominately for cars
make the best social and economic
sense? What if streets made slower
methods of getting places – like walk-
ing, cycling or transit – easier and more
attractive?
In a recent report, Slow Streets made
a strong case for the argument that
placing greater priority on “slower
modes” of transportation not only cre-
ates a higher return on investment but
also helps local businesses thrive.
Comparing Commercial Drive and
Union Street – now into its second year
with a segregated cycling lane buff ered
by car parking – the team uncovered a
wealth of data to support the idea.
Who’s on The Drive?Who’s on The Drive?The study began by examining who
is on The Drive and how they trav-
elled there. Data collected during three
observation periods (weekday after-
noon, peak evening and weekend after-
noon between September and October
2014) revealed that an astonishing 93
per cent of people visiting The Drive
had arrived on foot. A further 3 per cent
arrived on transit, with cycling and cars
accounting for 2 per cent each.
On average, 665 pedestrians passed
each observation point every hour but
almost three-quarters of them were
simply on their way to somewhere else.
The rest were either shopping or had
plans to meet with friends. Regardless
of why or how they came to The Drive,
though, people spent the majority of
their time walking on the sidewalk.
Only 65 cyclists per hour were willing
to risk the dangers of navigating a busy
road with no cycle lane.
In comparison, Union Street sees
289 cyclists per hour cycling and has
a signifi cantly lower noise level –
Commercial’s 76dB is like standing 15
metres from a highway while Union
is approximately the level of a TV or
radio.
Which begs the question, in a neigh-
bourhood that has one of the lowest
rates of car ownership, why not create
a more comfortable, secure sidewalk
experience on The Drive?
Good BusinessGood Business“One of the biggest surprises when
we looked at Commercial Drive was
that most of the people who spend
time there are on their feet,” says

and widened sidewalks you create a
safer, more inviting environment for

ties for patios and other outdoor spaces
where people can socialize, all the
while enhancing the existing lively,
urban vibe.”
And while there’s long been a per-
ception that retailers in ground-orient-
ed shopping areas would suff er if park-
ing is removed, Slow Streets’ research
showed the opposite. In fact, about 20
per cent of Union Street area residents
who cycle said they stop (and shop) at
local businesses more frequently now
the protected cycle lanes have been

venience stores than car drivers. All of

RIVER WATCH - Waterfront Living at Its BestA
s soon as Sara Aktary and her fi ancé
Frenchy heard about River Watch -
Ladner’s premier waterfront condo
project – they knew they’d found their
dream home. “It’s like living on the
Mississippi river,” says Frenchy. “Every
night, we have front row seats to the best
sunsets. Our new friends are the wildlife
that is right out our deck. We watch as
eagles soar and salmon as they jump out
of the water. It’s absolutely spectacular.”
Aktary adds: “We feel like we are living
in a deluxe country resort and yet close
to the city… It’s countryside living in the
suburbs.”
This past June, the couple moved into
their two bedrooms and two bathrooms
home and they can’t stop gushing about
it. “In the summer, we don’t even have the
television on. We spend our time on the
deck watching the boats go by,” both say.
“We have a water view from every room
of our condo.”
Frenchy went on to say: “It’s a great
community and we’ve made many new
friends. We looked around and I can tell
you that River Watch is the most aff ord-
able waterfront living in all the Lower
Mainland.”
Starting at $525,500 (includes the
GST), River Watch sales manager Frank
Becir agrees.
“Where else can you purchase a beauti-
ful waterfront home in a tranquil setting
starting this low?” he says, adding they
often dine at their favourite local eatery,
the River House Restaurant & Pub, which
is steps away from their home.
Nestled on the banks of the Fraser
River in Ladner and surrounded by
parks and farmland to the south and
east, River Watch Residences off er the
best of countryside living only 10 min-
utes to Richmond, and 20 minutes into
Vancouver.
Each morning, Sara and Frenchy wake
up to sweeping views of the North Shore
Mountains, Mt. Baker and the Fraser River.
Fro sports buff , lace up your hiking shoes
and head to the Millennium Trail, which
off ers kilometers of walking/cycling trails
that can take you to the scenic Deas Island
Regional Park or Burns Bog.
River Watch is a four-storey Victorian-
style building with distinctive red roof,
white hardi-board siding and wrap around
balconies as big as 796 square feet. This
limited collection of 13 contemporary one
and two bedroom homes – with only four,
two bedroom suites (Including one pent-
house) still available, range from 1049
square feet to more than 1332 square
feet for the penthouse suite. They feature
nine-foot ceilings, electric fi replace and
warm laminate wood fl ooring throughout
the living area. The residences are also
highlighted by large windows, gourmet
kitchens with oversized Whirlpool stain-
less steel appliances, quartz countertops,
kitchen islands and in fl oor radiant heat.
River Watch is truly the best of urban
living in a quiet, rural setting.
Act fast as there are only four homes
remaining. With prices starting at
$525,000 (includes GST) living on the
waterfront can be a reality.
The River Watch Residences presen-
tation centre, located at 6251 River
Road, Ladner, is open Saturday and
Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. or by appoint-
ment by calling Frank Becir 604-862-
5731. For more information, you can
