=== Trail between Tatlow and Capilano ===

'''Location:'''

At the north end of Tatlow Ave is a convenient trail that connects to Capilano Road opposite Graveley St. The trail is rumoured to be off limits to bicycles (certainly the trail east of Tatlow is, and is signed as such). This is a perfect connector for bicycle traffic coming from Marine Drive to Capilano Road.

'''Issue:'''

* Need to confirm that this is not off limits to bicycles. If so this is just a short cut.

* Access to the trail from Graveley St requires crossing Capilano Rd at a busy spot. A signal or a tunnel would help.

'''NS-VACC Objectives:'''

* Sign and maintain it as a bike route
* Safe crossing of Capilano Rd

Trail between Tatlow and Capilano

Location:

At the north end of Tatlow Ave is a convenient trail that connects to Capilano Road opposite Graveley St. The trail is rumoured to be off limits to bicycles (certainly the trail east of Tatlow is, and is signed as such). This is a perfect connector for bicycle traffic coming from Marine Drive to Capilano Road.

Google Map

Issue:

  • Need to confirm that this is not off limits to bicycles. If so this is just a short cut.
  • Access to the trail from Graveley St requires crossing Capilano Rd at a busy spot. A signal or a tunnel would help.

NS-VACC Objectives:

  • Sign and maintain it as a bike route
  • Safe crossing of Capilano Rd

Bridge between Ambleside and Park Royal

Ambleside and PR bridge.jpg
Gravel at Ambleside - PR Bridge.jpg

Location:

This is a small bridge between the fields at Ambleside and the western end of Park Royal South. It is often used by people parking in the Park Royal lot and using the fields in Ambleside.

Google Map

Issues:

  • The east side approach got very muddy and was repaired with a river gravel that does not compact and is treacherous on a bicycle.
  • The approach trail is not wheelchair friendly and can get slick and muddy for bicycles.
  • The parking lot gets used by people using the fields and crossing the bridge. There is a "desire line" that has worn down the grass directly from the lot to the bridge. There should be steps or similar put in to accommodate this traffic.

NS-VACC Objectives:

  • The river gravel needs to be removed and replaced with proper road grade or crushed gravel that will compact correctly and not roll under the wheels of a bicycle.
  • The approach trail should be regraded and covered with road grade or crushed gravel or, better yet, paved for wheelchair access.
  • Steps from parking lot should be built.
