Table of proposed improvements for cyclists on LGB

Proposed Improvements for Cycling in the Vicinity of the North End of the Lions Gate Bridge (LGB)

Location and Proposed Improvements follow:

Spirit Trail at Bridge Road adjacent to Park Royal South

Spirit Trail Etiquette sign and way finding signs to: Ambleside, North Vancouver, Capilano River Trail and Vancouver

Bridge Road and Taylor Way

Bridge Road - east end of bridge over river

Bridge Road - beginning of ramp up to LGB

Sign to Marine Drive East and one indicating that the ramp to the LGB is a 2-way multi-purpose path

Ramp up to LGB from Bridge Road

Junction of ramp up to LGB and sidewalk to LGB

Replace existing sign with one indicating two-way multi-purpose pathway and directional signs to Park Royal, West Vancouver and Marine Drive East

Sidewalk leading to the west side of LGB

Widen to become a two-way multi-purpose pathway
Install a safety barrier where the pathway is directly adjacent to the traffic lane or as an interim measure paint the curb on the top and the side
Ensure sufficient lighting of the pathway
Provide a better sloped access curb for cyclists from North Vancouver who choose to ride in the cloverleaf and cross traffic lanes coming from West Vancouver

Entry to the pedestrian underpass on the west side of the LGB

Where the sidewalk currently joins the west-side LGB separated multi-use pathway

Entry to pedestrian underpass on east side

Where the sidewalk currently joins the east-side LGB separated multi-use pathway

Sidewalk from the east side multi-use pathway on LGB to Marine Drive East

Widen where required for a multi-use pathway and smooth out sudden descending grade change
Install a safety barrier where the pathway is directly adjacent to the traffic lane or as an interim measure paint the curb on the top and the side
Ensure sufficient lighting of the pathway

Shared roadway to Bridge Road below the LGB parallel to and just to the east of it

Fix the drainage problem near Bridge Road
Remove no entry sign at old gate and replace with shared car/bicycle sign and an official cars only sign
Sign to North Vancouver via Marine Drive East

Marine Drive East from LGB to Capilano Road

Include a marked bike lane with bicycle decals indicating eastbound traffic
Bicycles as well as buses should be allowed in the right lane at the junction of Capilano Road and Marine Drive
Route signs for cyclists to get to Capilano Road North from Marine Drive via McGuire Avenue

Marine Drive West from Capilano Road to the multi-use pathway leading to LGB

Multi-use pathway leading to the west side of LGB

Junction of multi-use pathway leading to the west side of the LGB and sidewalk coming from Capilano Bridge Eastbound

Widen and reduce steepness
Install a protective barrier on the east side of the multi-use pathway at the junction to prevent cyclists from falling into the blackberry patch
Move the existing sign to Vancouver and North Vancouver closer to the junction

Proposed multi-use pathway from the west end of new Capilano Bridge to Taylor Way

Install a wheelchair accessible ramp down to 6th Street with way finding signs to Taylor Way at Clyde Avenue, Capilano River Trail, Park Royal South and the Spirit Trail
Install a safety barrier where the pathway is directly adjacent to the traffic lane
Ensure sufficient lighting of the pathway
