River Road Multi-Use Pathway (Ferry Road to Elliott Street)

Construction has begun for a new Multi-Use Pathway along the north side of River Road from Ferry Road to Elliott Street. This $1.4 million project is part of Delta's annual cycling infrastructure program aimed at expanding pedestrian and cycling routes within the community. The pathway will improve connectivity between Marina Gardens and Ladner Village, creating safer and more accessible travel options.
The proposed improvements include a 3.5m wide asphaltmulti-use pathway, grassed boulevard, street trees, LED street lighting, pavement markings and related signage. Please see the presentation drawing for more information.
. The pathway is identified in Delta’s Official Community Plan and Cycling Master Plan, which prioritize pedestrian and cycling improvements throughout the city. For more information regarding Delta's current cycling routes, please refer to the Delta Routes Map.
The online consultation closed on May 27, 2024.
This project is co-funded by TransLink through their Bicycle Infrastructure Capital Cost Share Program.
Construction began in November 2024. The major road works is expected to be wrapped up by mid-December with the remaining earth works and street light updates to be completed in early 2025.

Share Tell me I wrong but my concern is regarding the new “pathway” upgrade between Elliott and Ferry road. My concern is that if all this work is going into this section of road for a bike/path upgrade for a cost of $1.4million why is there no elevation change to that section of dyke?
It seems like the perfect time to add a few rows of lock-blocks and increase the elevation of that section of dyke.
Again tell me I'm wrong but hasn’t there been a breach over the dyke near sharkeys and speeds within the last couple years? I remember the massive rains we had a few years ago in November when the valley flooded and half of Ladner residents were on flood prevention measures driving past the corner of Elliot and river road looking at the Fraser river almost level with the road on the other side of the pump station.
We seem to be living on the edge with our dyke systems and it’s going to be one epic rain storm that lines up perfectly with a king tide and storm surge that pushes it over the edge and right now we have the opportunity to alter the height of that section of dyke because of the bike lane upgrades and we’re not doing it on FacebookShare Tell me I wrong but my concern is regarding the new “pathway” upgrade between Elliott and Ferry road.

Raising the dike is a significantly more complex and costly process than simply installing lockblocks along a Multi-Use Pathway. Dike modifications require thorough assessments of the dike’s foundation/base, slope stability, seismic resilience, and the overall property footprint needed for the project. Additionally, multi-agency approvals are required at the Provincial level to ensure that the proposed designs comply with current standards. Given the technical and regulatory complexities involved, it is not feasible to incorporate dike raising into this project, particularly since dikes require continuous and specialized design considerations.
The mentioned flooding event seems to be the December 2022 record King Tide event. At that time, there was no dike breach, only seepage through a property adjacent to Ladner Slough. Preventative measures are in place in that location for future potential events.
