The division continues to work with its partners such as the Urban Development Institute, the Greater Vancouver Homebuilders Association and the Downtown Business Improvement Association to ensure its processes align with Best Practices. The Division sees public consultation being at the forefront of its activities and continues to build a successful public consultation process to engage and inform residents.

2018 Workplan Emphasis The division will carry out corporate initiatives as directed by Council, continuing to provide excellent customer service and consulting with the public to engage and inform residents. This includes working with Parks, Recreation & Culture and School District No. 42 on the advancement of the new school and community centre in Albion. Through the adopted Transportation Plan the provision of a multimodal transportation system to Maple Ridge is planned by incorporating priority projects into the annual budget: preparing projects for proposed Federal infrastructure grants and working with the Provincial Ministry of Transportation and Highways (MOTH) to advance improvements on Haney Bypass. Infrastructure improvements through capital projects will be provided throughout the City. This includes roads, water, sewer, drainage, pedestrian, cycling and other infrastructure upgrades. This includes major upgrades to 232 Street north of 132 Avenue as well as Lougheed Highway between 226 and 224 Street.
