2021 Cycling Infrastructure Improvements.

By Don Piercy, Chair, HUB Cycling North Shore Committee

At a High Level some important progress was made:

  • CNV: a abc strategy was completed {add link} & multi-year construction plan released {add link to map}
  • DNV: Cycling Infrastructure plan was update {add link}, with plans for many section of our top priorities routes included in the next couple years.
  • DWV: Though completion of the Strategic Transportation Plan was delayed into 2023, we have be included as a Strategic Stakeholder
  • MoTI: The Highway 1 corridor study included may of Cycling improvments suggested by HUB as top Priorities {link to study} and we provided extensive input into MoTI's "Cycling Gaps" report and hope to see prioritization of these in the 2023.

In addition, 2021 saw the completion of a fair number of cycling infrastructure projects. Some were major and included key portions of our priority bikeways, while others were short stretches, often disconnected (generally these were "opportunistic", taking advantage of redevelopment or other projects to build cycling infrastructure cheaply).

Some major ones:

    • abc
  • DNV:
    • Paisley (Capilano Rd to Ridgewood)
    • Hunter St Bridge (Lower Lynn creek)
    • 123 block of lower Mountain Highway
    • Arborlynn connector (Mtn Hwy, Hwy1 to Arborlynn)
    • Marine Dr (LG Bridge to Garden)
  • DWV:

  • MoTI/TransLink:
    • Phibbs Exchange (2023-24)

Overall, we had slow but steady progress on both the Strategic and Implementation levels. Looking forward 2022 is a municipal election year and asdfasdfasdfasdf. With the increased funding for active transportation from Federal and Provincial governments combined with municipal implementation we see steady progress towards more comforatable and safer cycling options on the north shore.
