City of North Vancouver

• 300 block West Esplanade by the yoga studio on the south side - a separated bike lane is a great step forward even if it is only one block
• Spirit Trial is under construction behind Rona.
• Tony asked about 2nd St through Moodyville – also about construction in the vicinity of bike lanes. We should ask for a copy of the construction in bike lane policy.
• We should prepare a letter about additions to the Bike Master Plan (add Mahon Ave) and ask if there will be an update
• Antje and Giacomo met with Jay Porter on 23 August. In responding to questions about the three interchanges, it seemed that they were on the defensive – At the Lillooet Rd interchange, the islands are too small - We want a MUP by the Superstore where there are 6 lanes of traffic – we should respond to their list and copies to the DNV and CNV (Antje will do it).

Antje led a discussion on mounting and dismounting at on and off ramps where we have not been able to make any progress.
