Last Month's meeting was presentation by Translink, but nothing new regarding cycling.
Apparently CNV council is discussing the upper level greenway + the lonsdale/hwy overpass later this month. I'm hoping that preliminary designs come to the ITC for input sometime soon.

Regular Bi-monthly Meeting with Staff took place in early April
Projects/sections
MSP upgrades moving ahead in 2024 as planned with Translink funding recently secured
Main Street - North side construction ongoing and on-track. South side remains an issue. Longer term objective to deal with it but space is problem. Doing some initial review of space and talking to Translink re funding due to sharing with buses.
Phibbs Exchange should be complete May. DNV welcomed feedback. Following extensive concerns raised on Hub group email, feedback has been provided, and awaiting response. Longer term plans for greenway/bike route all through Orwell. Further details including timing requested.
Spirit Trail East - Staff have been requested to go back to council on May 13th to provide update due to opposition. Planning is pushing ahead. Need to contact staff to see how we can support.
Lynn Valley Road - preparing implementation plan for Phase 2 and looking to tie-in stretch by mall. Have translink funding for transit study.
Capilano Rd - Ridgewood to Hwy - Developing designs for protected bike lane. Trying to encourage MOTI to deliver their section too.
E-cargo bike scheme https://www.dnv.org/streets-transportation/e-cargo-bikes About to go out to tender expect at least 2 bids. Was aiming for June but likely to be a bit later in the summer. Pilot will run for 2 years with 7 stations and likely 9 bikes across two types (box and long tail).

*Updates to the Mobility plan.
*E-scooter trials.
*Cycling route map updates.


This meeting presented Mayor Sager with an opportunity to follow up with his proposal for a MUP between Horseshoe Bay and Whistler.

On behalf of DWV, the mayor hosted this semi-annual forum and arranged for BC Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Lana Popham to attend.
Deadline for apps May 31.
The Minister presented her ideas and seeks feedback on the concept of a long-distance (100km+) multi-use trail between Vancouver and Pemberton.
She set a goal of compiling options and issues for discussion in July 2024.
The forum participants were separated into several round table groups to consider the proposal options and raise questions.
The Minister’s proposal was generally well received by the meeting participants, both as a low-carbon tourism initiative and for its economic benefits.
The possible trail routes and their likely costs and possible public and private funding sources were discussed.
The Mayor of Squamish informed the forum of the advanced work already in place for a trail between Pemberton and Squamish, and the ongoing planning for a link between Squamish and Lions Bay.
Several speakers however expressed concern about visitor growth and overuse impacts on indigenous and natural assets.

Current Projects from staff's briefing slides to a 7 May Environment Committee meeting


There were discussions surrounding potential improvements to the right angle turn on Spirit Trail near Park Royal where it passes beside Cap river and under the railway bridge. Peter says DWV are aware of potential collisions and are seeking a solution. Installing mirrors as are in place at Mosquito creek was suggested as a potential remedy.
The time of the meeting is 4:30 p.m. and the location is the Cedar Room, 3rd floor of West Vancouver Community Centre - the public can attend.
