Thanks for sharing this idea!
The city’s new active transportation plan will soon be in development, and hopefully completed within the next year.
A big part of the work ahead is to identify the complete cycling network, and the type of facility that is most appropriate and/or feasible for different routes. In some cases (e.g. busy arterial routes), separated lanes might be the best approach; in other cases (e.g. lower car volume neighbourhood streets), enhanced traffic calming and/or further reducing car access might be more appropriate. Travis cited some great examples in the Netherlands where cars are ‘guests’ that are allowed in, but do not dominate.
In all cases, the goal should be to make routes that feel safe to all potential cyclists, including beginners, children, and seniors.

Oh dear, how terrible for you......it is really not nice to have to live above idling cars created by Vancouver's 4% cyclists who demand bike lanes that tie up traffic access to bridges, and demand that separated bike lanes work for their immature selfish needs. We all want Green but let's do it sensibly. The City is listening and caving to a few residents (cylists) who are young (ish) while ignoring good sensible design. Cycling is not the only way to become GREEN. This such a juvenile approach.

An ongoing process. Many of the City’s recent initiatives (e.g. downtown separated bike lane trial, additional traffic calming on existing routes) work towards this vision. The draft Greenest City action plan will support this idea, and include directions to help inform the upcoming transportation plan update and new active transportation plan.

Bicycle lobby doing a good job here. Too bad for seniors who need caregivers, tradesmen etc to help out and are unable to cycle due to bad joints, illness etc.
The bicycle lobby too will get older and find that they suddenly live in an unaffordable and unliveable city for aging in place.
Don't come complaining to the tax payers on how you want help with access to care and for visiting family and friends. There is no such thing as a free lunch! -

Pedestrian safety is a top priority. The Greenest City work will include directions to identify and address deficiencies in the network (e.g. missing sidewalks or curb ramps, need for improved pedestrian lighting).

Implementation of the City’s streetcar plan (http://vancouver.ca/streetcar) might help to enable this, by providing dramatically improved transit service to Granville Island.

That is great if you don't want the island to survive!! A few merchants who attract a lot of traffic create the income and the ambience that support many minimal income businesses and low income earning programs - theatre/arts etc. Nothing is free.
Already chefs and foodies have started to give up on the island due to the removal of short term parking close to the market.
Go fly a kite you 4 % Vancouver cyclists.
We need small Granville Island merchants to survive not to lose them to off island locations. Eliminating cars would destroy the business they have as spin off to foodies who shop there. -
