Point Grey

Point Grey is one of Vancouver's older neighbourhoods, with many long-time residents. The area is known for two of the city's popular beaches, Jericho Beach and Spanish Banks. Both beaches are great for watching the sunset, over English Bay and the mountains. Point Grey Village serves as the area's shopping district, where many independently owned businesses contribute to a village-like atmosphere. Point Grey runs along English Bay, between the University of British Columbia and Kitsilano.

Point Grey Road - Cornwall Avenue

The Point Grey Road - Cornwall Avenue Corridor Project, when complete, will link Downtown to Kitsilano and Point Grey, and will provide a safe, convenient and comfortable connection between the Burrard Bridge and Jericho Beach for pedestrians and cyclists.

Jericho Beach

Following reports that the Jericho Marginal Wharf facility at Jericho Beach Park was in disrepair, the Vancouver Parks Board approved a concept plan to demolish the wharf and restore the natural beach and foreshore.
