** And Open House Thursday, May 4, 6pm-8pm – Karen Magnussen Recreation Centre, Eagle Room.
** Some points to consider for the question ''"Did we miss anything when it comes to cycling? Please tell us about it here.”'' on the 3rd page.
***Mountain Hwy is a busy arterial street and thus would require protected bikelanes (not just paint, and not in the Door zone) to be comfortable for most.
****Traffic speeds often exceed the posted limits
****The existing bikelanes are fragmented and incomplete, especially near intersections (where most collisions occur)
****Needs good wayfinding signage
***People may want to mention the alternative route via Arborlynn - Appin - East 20th - Viewlynn - E 27th.
****This route is a bit less direct, but has gentler grades and is mostly along quiet residential streets
****It would be fairly easy and quick to implement. Wayfinding signage + crossing improvements + a uphill bikelane for 1 block on E 20th

===City of North Vancouver - Nadia/Sophia===
* May 24th meeting with Sophia and the CNV team
'''CNV Key Contacts & Staff Meetings'''
**Casano overpass is somewhat stalled while various parties iron out details.
*Completed:
** Lime bike survey Need link.
Meeting with Mayor Buchanan, April 28th - Don to update
*Upcoming: May 24th with Nadia/Sophia and the CNV team
** Please ensure you copy Sophia and Nadia on any correspondence with CNV.
** Grand Boulevard signage is somewhat ambiguous. Needs signage update.

'''Summary of current/upcoming CNV projects - this year & beyond'''
*Signal timing
**Please enter intersections of concern [https://forms.gle/w5UPRFsPTZ3Pt22Y6 here]. We will take them to CNV

*NVCL cargo bike initiative
**currently discussing adding cargo and accessible bikes with the NVCL.

*Marine Main – Eastbound Transit Extension
**We submitted a letter of endorsement for this project

*Cotton/Main WB
**City engineers have requested a markup of our suggestions. They believe there is insufficient space between the hydro poles and existing landscaping.

*Casano-Loutet Overpass/Midtown Connector
**apparently delayed; we will get more information at our next meeting and how this affects the Midtown Connector, which was scheduled to start after the the overpass.

*Upper Levels Greenway
**lots of interest in the route along 25th; will need spurs to other amenities like schools
**discussions underway with MOTI to ensure they are on board with the proposed changes
**need to clarify how this will cross the highway on/off ramps.

*4th and Chesterfield
**in line to get a bike light but no timeline

*Forbes
**larger changes are intended at this intersection but dependent on discussions with the Squamish Nation

<!--'''E-Bike Share'''
*Lime is swapping out their fleet with their newest generation of e-bikes. These bikes have better power for steep hills (but have the same speed restrictions), better battery life, and their hardware will help Lime improve parking compliance in North Van. Increase in helmets on the bikes, but feedback on helmets has been limited thus far. Looking to collect more feedback and data re: helmet use, user perceptions, etc. soon. Plan is to have trip data publicly available.

<!--'''CNV Mobility Strategy'''
*Strategy endorsed by Council on April 11 2022. Beyond ongoing initiatives, staff have been undertaking research and analysis on a number of new initiatives along with socializing some of this initial material with citizen committees. These initiatives include:
**Reducing neighbourhood speed limits: Vehicle speeds are one component of developing safe streets, alongside street design, enforcement, and education. Establishing safe vehicle speeds on local streets is an important first step to addressing safety issues, and comes with limited negative impacts (i.e. a negligible difference in vehicle travel times). Staff will be looking to return to Council in early 2023 with recommended signage options for consideration for establishing safe and comfortable conditions on local streets.
**Modernizing Transportation Requirements for New Developments: The City requires Transportation Studies and travel demand management (TDM) measures for most new multi-unit developments in the City. These requirements have some deficiencies that are leading to inconsistent outcomes. Updates are being planned for these requirements that will better align with goals from the Mobility Strategy, including how new developments will support emissions reduction, reductions in vehicle demand, and reductions in VKT. These are also anticipated to be brought forward in early 2023.
**Updating the Resident & Visitor Parking Policy: The City has a parking policy to help reduce external parking pressure on residential streets near to commercial areas. There are several equity/access issues with RVPP given the ongoing changes to how people move around the City. An update to the RVPP to address inequities and better align with the Mobility Strategy will be brought to Council for consideration in early 2023.

<!--*Upper Levels Greenway (final design/route selection expected: Fall 2022)
*Mobility Strategy (implementation of some strategies to commence this year, e.g. zoning bylaw updates re new developments and bike storage)
*Carson Graham School - AT improvements (some sidewalk gaps to be addressed this year, most changes part of next year's budget)
*Kings Mill (detailed park design underway, construction to begin: Spring 2023)
*Cotton/Main St bridge (preliminary designs underway, construction is dependent on funding)
*Casano-Loutet Overpass (construction anticipated in 2023)
'''Upper Levels Greenway'''
*Submitted a letter to express our comments: [[File:CNV_UpperLevelsGreenway_052422.pdf‎]]
Esplanade
*cycling and pedestrian infrastructure should be finished by end of year; green paint may be delayed until spring
*still waiting for temporary push button at 3rd and Forbes

<!--'''Moody Ave & 3rd'''
*Daytime, the traffic signal on Moody Ave at East 3rd Street operates in coordinated mode favouring eastbound-westbound transit.
*The cycle length on East 3rd Street corridor varies between 70 and 82 seconds and out of 82 seconds during the busiest time of day total of 51 seconds are allocated to favour the transit corridor traffic, meaning that in the worst case the pedestrians and cyclists crossing East 3rd Street will have to wait up to 51 second when they have just missed the window at arrival at the intersection.

<!--'''Community Wellbeing Strategy'''
*Engagement for draft strategy will be in mid/late June; in parallel with the Climate & Environment Strategy
*Final strategies to be presented to Council in September
*More info here: https://www.cnv.org/city-services/planning-and-policies/community-wellbeing

'''Forbes & 3rd'''
*Timeline for upgrades is uncertain; CNV is working with the Squamish Nation. Archaeological component to any changes given the site of a former residential school.
*Could be up to 2 years away.

'''Bike Storage Designs'''
*As part of the Mobility Strategy, CNV will be looking at zoning bylaw updates regarding new developments and high quality bike storage/bike rooms designs.
*Taking on some research over the summer re new developments (including on/off street bike parking). Will engage HUB on guidelines this summer/fall.
*Sent this document to Brandon to share with the team: https://bikehub.ca/sites/default/files/hub_cycling_amenities_report.pdf

'''Casano-Loutet Overpass'''
*Staff are still working through the permitting process with MoTI and First Nations. Construction anticipated in 2023.
'''Cotton-Main St Bridge Over Lynn Creek'''
*Scope is two-fold: need to conduct a bridge inspection + putting forward a business case to widen the bridge
*No detailed plans/designs yet; will engage HUB for input at a later stage
*Need to wait for federal funding as it is going to be costly. -->
<!--'''E-scooter Pilot (no update)'''
*Bylaws received final adoption at Council in early March. Pilot runs until April 2024.
*The pilot allows privately-owned e-scooters for personal use on local streets, paved multi-use pathways, and in mobility lanes. E-scooter share programs will not be permitted at this time.
*More info here: https://www.cnv.org/city-services/streets-and-transportation/sustainable-transportation/travel-options/cycling/e-scooters -->
<!--'''The Shipyards Strategy (no update)'''
*https://letstalk.cnv.org/theshipyards
*Survey is now open until August 31st 4pm (it’s quick ~ 5 minutes. 1 open ended, rest are multiple choice/checkboxes).
*‘What could we do better?’. A few cycling related responses:
**More bike parking
**Better/clearer bike routes (wayfinding signage with destinations, pavement markings)
**Separation of walking & cycling
**Slower car speeds in the surrounding areas
*Connected to the Waterfront Transportation Network Survey? (December 2021)-->
<!--'''Esplanade Complete Street (no update)'''
*Check out HUB Cycling North Shore's Twitter page for updates!
*Full design here: https://www.cnv.org/city-services/streets-and-transportation/sustainable-transportation/travel-options/cycling/mobility-network-project/esplanade-complete-street
*Current information can be found at www.cnv.org/ecs
*Any comments/questions can be directly sent to Mo Bot at ecs@cnv.org -->
<!--'''St Andrews Safety Improvements (no update)'''
*The following are now complete:
**New sidewalks on the east side
**Bumpout & yellow delineators (at 9th)
**Raised crosswalks (at 8th and 9th)
*Due to a national road paint shortage, the road has not yet been repainted to narrow the travel lane and provide an uphill parking protected bike lane.
*Once complete, counts will follow to measure changes to volume and speed.
*Signage:
**Signage typical on CNV bike routes will be added, confirming users are on the route.
**Destination based bicycle wayfinding is not included in this project, as it will be delivered once the City develops a broader wayfinding strategy.

'''ITC - Dana & Jonathan'''
*May meeting update (held May 3): we received an overview of CNV's zoning bylaw policy (for information purposes only). CNV will be overhauling their zoning bylaws in the coming months, which could have direct and indirect impacts on cycling infrastructure (e.g., bike storage requirements for new builds, encouraging more community amenities to reduce travel distances, etc.). Public engagement on their zoning policy is expected to start in early June.

===District of West Vancouver - Paul/Peter/Mike===

'''Bike lanes on Marine Drive between 26th and 31st Streets'''
*It is currently planned to proceed just with painted bike lanes and a painted buffer, despite our preference to see buffered bike lanes with delineator poles installed. We suggested to at least put in some kind of physical separation at the beginning of the painted bike lanes.
*It is planned for DWV staff to present the project to Council on 15 May and we have prepared a HUB letter with qualified support for the project which has been approved for distribution (https://wiki.bikehub.ca/images/f/f2/2023-05-05_Planned_Bike_Lanes_on_Marine_Drive_between_26th_and_31st_Streets.pdf).
'''Ambleside Local Area Plan (LAP)'''
*Ambleside is a waterfront neighbourhood and commercial centre located on the north shore of the Burrard Inlet, situated between Dundarave and Park Royal. Ambleside’s continued success and long-term vitality are of importance to residents, businesses, visitors, and the entire West Vancouver community.
*Three options were presented to Council at its February 6, 2023 meeting, where staff were directed to proceed with LAP engagement.
*The engagement process is now underway this month with a series of public workshops and those unable to register for a workshop, are encouraged to review the three draft options and provide input for Ambleside’s new LAP by email.
*There are three cycling-related issues that we think need to be considered in the LAP:
**1. a dedicated bikeway between the town centres of Ambleside and Park Royal;
**2. separating bikes from traffic and pedestrians on the Spirit Trail through Ambleside and a westward extension of the Spirit Trail to connect to Dundarave Village; and
**3. establishing Slow Streets within and through the LAP boundaries.
*We plan to draft a HUB letter to input our proposals on these three issues.

===Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure- Mike/Don===
* Blind spot where Orwell trail meets MSP-Keith Rd overpass MUP
** MoTI has painted stop line & warnings, checking if signage is to follow.
* '''Phibbs Exchange'''
** Phase 1 just started (complete by May-2023?)
*** Detours with signage in place. The connection between Orwell and south side of main is a long ugly detour via Mtn Highway, or ride with traffic on the off-ramp. They will try to improve this in month or so if they can widen the off-ramp once they move some utilities.
** Phase 2 will start after Phase 1 and finish in late 2024. Detours should be much better for this phase.
