[[File:NS-VACC Shortcut between W Keith and 23rd.png|Quick Map|thumb|100px]]


A very convenient trail connecting W Keith Rd near the Capilano Rd Hwy 1 ramps to W 23rd St in Pemberton Heights. For riders needing to continue east after coming off the freeway this is perfect. Also makes up a key part of the [[Routes_and_Short_Cuts#Lions_Gate_Bridge_to_Lonsdale_.26_27th|Lions Gate Bridge to Lonsdale & 27th]] route.
