December 2025 Update

Informed by the public engagement completed earlier this year, a revised Area Plan and set of Development Permit Area Guidelines for the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area were presented to Council at the December 2, 2025 Committee of the Whole Meeting. These updated planning documents will be used to guide future growth in this area and include policies to support new housing, employment, shopping, and services near the future Bus Rapid Transit stations on Lougheed Highway.

At the December 9, 2025 Regular Council Meeting, the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area Plan received second reading and was forwarded to the next Public Hearing on January 20, 2026. A recommendation was also carried for staff to begin accepting and processing new development applications and pre-application meeting requests for the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area.

To learn more, the most recent Council report and attachments are included below:

Background

The Lougheed Transit Corridor extends from the City’s western boundary to the Town Centre at 221 Street along Lougheed Highway and Dewdney Trunk Road.

As a gateway to Maple Ridge and its Town Centre, this area has been identified as a regionally-significant Major Transit Growth Corridor in Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy and presents significant opportunities for new housing, shopping, employment, and amenities.

The Lougheed Transit Corridor has also been identified by TransLink as part of the future Langley-Haney Place Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line, helping to improve travel within Maple Ridge and beyond. In January 2025, TransLink announced the selected locations of future BRT stations on Lougheed Highway at 203 Street, 207 Street, Laity Street, and 216 Street.

To guide the use of land and new development surrounding the future BRT stations, an updated concept plan for the Lougheed Transit Corridor was proposed.
