Maple Ridge, B.C. – May 13, 2026 — Maple Ridge Council has confirmed its support for the Langley-Haney Place Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project along the Lougheed Corridor, recognizing it as a critical transportation investment to support housing, economic development, and sustainable mobility in the city.
At its Regular Council Meeting on May 12, 2026, Council considered TransLink’s 30% concept design for the project’s curb-to-curb facilities and endorsed moving the project forward to detailed design.
Council also directed staff to continue working with TransLink on the next phase of design, including the proposed lane allocations and further review of utility and active transportation considerations.
“The Langley-Haney Place BRT project will be a game changer for how people move through Maple Ridge and across the region,” said Mayor Dan Ruimy. “This project will help support our growing community by improving transit reliability, expanding sustainable transportation options, and strengthening connections to housing, jobs, and services.”
The Langley-Haney Place BRT line was identified in TransLink’s Transport 2050 as one of the region’s near-term rapid transit priorities. In Maple Ridge, the project is planned to include five stations, with four stations along Lougheed Highway at 203 Street, 207 Street, Laity Street, and 216 Street, and a terminus station at Haney Place Transit Exchange.
“Council’s endorsement is a big step forward for better transit connections in Maple Ridge,” said Kevin Quinn, CEO of TransLink. “People in Maple Ridge have been clear that they want faster, more reliable transit along this corridor. The Langley-Haney Place BRT project will help deliver that, while better connecting growing communities to jobs, services, and the rest of the region.”
Design Concept Highlights
Key features of the BRT concept design include:
- unimpeded dedicated centre-running bus lanes on Lougheed Highway between Maple Meadows Way and 222 Street at the Haney Bypass
- station platforms located in the centre of the roadway at key intersections
- continued operation in general purpose travel lanes on Golden Ears Way and along Lougheed Highway from 222 Street to 226 Street, approaching Haney Place Transit Exchange
- roadway modifications to improve safe and efficient movements in the Haney Place area
As the project advances, the City will continue to work with TransLink and the Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MOTT) to refine boulevard treatments, active transportation connections, and underground utility coordination.
Expanding Sustainable Transportation
Bus Rapid Transit will expand sustainable transportation options in Maple Ridge and the broader region, which is expected to reduce reliance on private vehicles, improve transit mode share, and help lower transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions.
The City is working with TransLink and MOTT to help ensure the corridor includes high-quality, accessible facilities for walking, cycling, and mobility devices. While the project is currently at the 30% concept design stage and boulevard details are still being refined, active transportation remains an important priority that aligns with the City’s Strategic Transportation Plan and Lougheed Transit Corridor Area Plan. Through detailed design, the City will continue to advocate for strong pedestrian and cycling connections to support safer, more connected, and more sustainable travel options.
Community Engagement
Public engagement undertaken by TransLink from January to February 2026 found strong support for the project. According to TransLink, 744 Maple Ridge residents participated through surveys and in-person engagement activities, and 85% of Maple Ridge respondents indicated they believe BRT will improve transportation along the corridor.
With dedicated lanes to provide fast, reliable service and weather-protected stations for comfort, BRT is being designed to make it more convenient to travel around Maple Ridge and the region.
