Trail between Tatlow Ave and Capilano Rd

quick map

Location:

At the north end of Tatlow Ave is a convenient trail that connects to Capilano Road opposite Graveley St. The trail is rumoured to be off limits to bicycles (certainly the trail east of Tatlow is, and is signed as such). This is a perfect connector for bicycle traffic coming from Marine Drive to Capilano Road.

Google Map

Issue:

• Need to confirm that this is not off limits to bicycles. If so this is just a short cut.

• Access to the trail from Graveley St requires crossing Capilano Rd at a busy spot. A signal or a tunnel would help.

NS-VACC Objectives:

• Sign and maintain it as a bike route
• Safe crossing of Capilano Rd

Signal at Lonsdale and 27th

Lonsdale & 27th

Location:

Intersection of Lonsdale Ave and 27th St

Issue:

• 27th St is a designated bicycle route but the signal is only accessible to pedestrians on the north side of 27th St. If you are east bound on a bicycle then you must either chance a crossing on a notoriously busy street or cross 27th and ride up on the sidewalk to access the signal. This is dangerous and inconvenient.

NS-VACC Objectives:

• Need a bike accessible signal button on the south side of 27th

Bridge between Ambleside and Park Royal

Location:

This is a small bridge between the fields at Ambleside and the western end of Park Royal South. It is often used by people parking in the Park Royal lot and using the fields in Ambleside.

Google Map

Issues:

• The east side approach got very muddy and was repaired with a river gravel that does not compact and is treacherous on a bicycle.

• The approach trail is not wheelchair friendly and can get slick and muddy for bicycles.

• The parking lot gets used by people using the fields and crossing the bridge. There is a "desire line" that has worn down the grass directly from the lot to the bridge. There should be steps or similar put in to accommodate this traffic.

NS-VACC Objectives:

• The river gravel needs to be removed and replaced with proper road grade or crushed gravel that will compact correctly and not roll under the wheels of a bicycle.

• The approach trail should be regraded and covered with road grade or crushed gravel or, better yet, paved for wheelchair access.

• Steps from parking lot should be built.
