Port Moody 2050: updating our Official Community Plan

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

Port Moody 2050 is our process to gather public input and draft focused updates to the Official Community Plan, our long-term vision for the future.

Register today so we can let you know when a new engagement opportunity, such as a community survey, is live and ready for your input.

Port Moody's Official Community Plan is important because it communicates our values and guides us as we make decisions about how we use land for housing, transportation, parks, environmental protection, economic development, and more. It’s your plan for your city, so we want to hear your voice.

Together, we’ll explore how we want Port Moody to evolve over the next 30 years, focusing on our overall vision as well as specific areas of the city: the Moody Centre Transit-Oriented Development Area, the Oceanfront District, the Seaview neighbourhood, and Murray Street.

Port Moody 2050 will include several opportunities for you to get involved in a meaningful way. Throughout the process, we want you to share your thoughts and ideas with us and with others in the community. Your input will inform Council’s decision-making as they consider proposed updates to the Official Community Plan.

We’re all a part of what makes Port Moody such a great place. And we can all play a role and work together to shape our city’s future. Use your voice to help us create a plan for the next 30 years that reflects the shared values and goals of our diverse community. Register today so we can keep you informed and let you know when you can provide input throughout the process.

How can you get involved?

Community Survey #3: In the next phase of public engagement, which is planned for late spring 2022, you’ll have a chance to give your feedback on the land use scenarios that were informed by what you told us in Community Survey #2.

    Let's Be Open To New Development Including Densification

    by PomoRes, 43 minutes ago

    Our city and region is facing a housing crisis. According to the Vancouver Sun (April, 2022), Metro Vancouver will need 250,000 more homes over the next 5 to 10 years to offset the housing crunch. However, there has been heated debate at Council and in local media over whether to allow more development, including more dense developments, in Port Moody.

    Currently, our city is not meeting its potential in creating new homes. According to the Tri City Dispatch (January, 2022), Coquitlam is out building Port Moody and Port Coquitlam 3-to-1. The Dispatch also reported that in 2021 only 467 homes... Continue reading

    Please start approving developments. Port Moody needs to grow.

    by Jeffrey Nieuwenburg, about 2 months ago

    Please approve the Coronation Park project and other developments in the city. Port Moody shouldn't be the only part of Metro Vancouver losing population, as the recent Census showed is the case. The city could use the increased tax base.

    Council needs to stop prioritizing "flashy arts" installations and promises of daycare or other services.

    Prioritize multifamily units (2, 3, 4 bedroom units) and mixed-use residential and commercial. If the City does this, Port Moody will continue to be family friendly place to live, and without mandating them, daycares and other needed services will open in available commercial spaces created...

    Please stop aggressive density building in Port Moody

    by Marialiveshere, about 2 months ago

    We moved here because we were looking for a quiet and interesting place to live. We moved here because there were less high rises, and less corportate fast food, cafe, restaurant chains. We like that there are more local and independent small business', as well as community feeling.

    Please stop the development of natural shorelines, and preserve animal habitats.

    Parks here are already jam packed in the summers.

    It is not at selfish to want to preserve a way of life that is healthy, affordable, and beautiful for those of us that live here.

    It should be much better than Deep Cove without the sulfur site & sawmill site at its valuable shoreline!

    by Rocky, 9 months ago

    Port Moody is located at the beautiful Burrard Inlet, great valuable, plus westcoast and skytrain, much more convenient transportation than Deep Cove. What a pity because of the sulfur site and sawmill site that damage entire inlet environment. It'll be high appreciated to remove the industry sites, restore back beautiful nature shoreline, gracious waterfront community, full of public coastal beach similar to English Bay in downtown.

    Newbies in Port Moody

    by Aline B, about 1 year ago
    We're new to Port Moody, arriving here from North Van because it offered the best mix of affordability (rapidly disappearing), transit, proximity to nature, walkability and fab mountain views for us to raise our family.

    A concern I'd like to raise here is around cycling challenges. It's not safe currently as there is very little dedicated cycling infrastructure. With a rapidly densifying community and focus on transit and active transportation, I'd like to see more focus on making cycling - particularly along Barnet and Ioco - a viable alternative.

    Are we selfish?

    by M&Y, about 1 year ago

    We love Port Moody, and we love the plans to make Port Moody a vibrant and growing community. We trust our city staff to develop a plan based on the high-density areas close to the sky train system. We love New Port Village and Suter Brook. We believe higher density is the only way to allows current and new businesses to operate and grow less dependant on vehicles and rely more on our excellent public transit. We love future developments such as Flavelle Mills Site (as proposed by the developers). Suppose we force developers to make unreasonable and unviable plans... Continue reading

    Older but wiser

    by Grannie, about 1 year ago
    I have lived in Pomo for 56 years. We built a home on the north shore, raised a family, owned a business and participated thru sport, library and city council over the years. Things have changed in some ways. Growing up in Glenayre we never came down to Pomo for shopping, work, school or leisure. I believe the same is true today! As teenagers we respected the police as they were everywhere. When I drive thru Pomo, which is very seldom, I stop at red lite after red lite. Housing of all sorts has popped up, too small and not...

    Ensure schools can accommodate growth

    by AimeeRita, about 1 year ago

    We moved to Port Moody from Vancouver as adults to be out of the hustle and to be able to walk to trails with our young family. And (realistically) to be able to buy a place we could afford!

    I missed out on the 2050 survey- but wanted to share my main concern about the school system not being able to accommodate the amount of families moving to the area. Please be proactive in this area so parents are not left stressed out or missing out on local schools.
