**Pavement marking and delineators; simple to adjust if needed post-evaluation
*Destination based wayfinding will not be included until the City develops a wayfinding strategy to ensure clarity and consistency.
*On bike master plan, though not identified as a priority corridor in the mobility strategy.
*Aiming to proceed with updates later this year; waiting on paint availability.
'''Gardenworks Redevelopment'''
*Considered other options (e.g. shifting curb, median) but ruled out because too costly.
*Site redevelopment has inadequate cycling infrastructure through the site
*The staff report shows a 3.35m MUP. This means the route cannot be a significant bike route because in this location it will be busy with walkers, strollers, dogs.


'''Upper Lonsdale'''
'''CNV/DNV Interfaces'''
*City has an upcoming project (design 2022, build 2023) to extend the Spirit Trail along the west side of Lynnmouth Park to 3rd Street where it would connect to Brooksbank Avenue. The intention is to provide a paved and lit path through this area.
*No specific projects at this time, dependent on the Lonsdale interchange.
*The City aspires to connect the existing segment of Spirit Trail to the west of Park & Tilford (running along 4th Street at Sunrise Park) with the upcoming segment through Lynnmouth Park, connecting with the Hunter St bridge. There are no short-term plans to complete this connection through, or around, Park & Tilford.
*Documented in the master plan.


'''West 3rd at Forbes'''
'''Next meeting with staff Oct 26'''
*Intersection upgrade will be tied to a sidewalk project that goes through the Squamish Nation up to Keith.
*Commencing engagement with the Nation week of July 26.
*Aiming to complete all upgrades (sidewalk + intersection) by the end of 2022.

'''Flexible Posts'''
*Keith/Heywood: work has been approved, paint is on the road, and delineators expected this week or next.
*Other areas have been identified through some work with Urban Systems (e.g. Chesterfield/Esplanade).


'''ITC - Dana & Jonathan'''
'''ITC - Dana & Jonathan'''
* We had two development projects up for resolution at the Oct. 6 meeting.
*ANY UPDATES?
**The first is a new, 6-storey condo building that is planned for the north-east side of the corner of 17th and Lonsdale (replacing the Esso station). Given that this area is already a traffic hotspot, the project is expected to cause a negligible increase in trips. The building will be outfitted with several bike rooms with changing/shower facilities (according to city bylaw), and there will be 1 e-bike charger installed for every 4 bike parking spots. The big topic of discussion was whether the bike rooms would be large enough to accommodate cargo bikes and trailers. The ITC voted to support the project, but will recommend that the developer review bike parking to ensure that it can accommodate all types of bikes.


**The second development project is another condo building proposed for 15th St W, in the small triangle between 16th St. W and Fell Ave. In addition to the same concerns about parking for large bikes, this project sparked a broader conversation on the overall safety and accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians in this neighbourhood. The development is expected to generate about 90 additional trips during peak times in an area already operating above capacity (e.g., larson/fell intersection is already nutty). While the ITC voted to support the project, the resolution will note that the pedestrian and cycling facilities in the area need improvement. The ITC also recommended that council review ways that the developer can help fund infrastructure to make walking/cycling safer in the neighbourhood.

** Mostly completed - will ask for traffic measurement results
**Upper LV Road (Phase I) from TC to Peters Road in 2021. Expect DNV web site update soon for more information.
** Hiring a consultant to do the connection on Marine between Capilano Rd and Garden. Hope to build next spring.
**Peters to Dempsey planned for 2022 but may be included in Phase I. DNV expecting a lot of push back from community on upper LVR. Looking for HUB member support, especially from those living on this corridor.
**Upper LVR improvements contingent on obtaining third party infrastructure funding. Assuming funding is successful it means the "DNV will be spending 50% of the transportation budget on active transportation according to Mayor Little."
**The DNV will be expediting improvements to the Mountain Hwy corridor to Lynn Valley town centre to address cycling impediments. Awaiting details.
**Liaisons requested road paving schedule. Paving section of LVR between Molly Nye to Mountain Hwy will depend on a sanitary sewer project on that route. Ingrid will share complete schedule. Possibly as soon as next week.
**Bridge replacement over Mosquito Creek to eliminate steps is a Parks Board project (not a cycling amenity) and time frame is unknown. There is a narrow at grade crossing some metres downstream connecting to a gravel path, more suitable to trail bikes.

*'''Ciclovia'''
District of West Vancouver
**At a meeting on 8 September, it was decided not to proceed with the previously planned event for 26 September but instead begin to work toward a similar but more ambitious car-free day event in June of 2022.
*Bike to shop day on 7 August
**It was suggested that for this larger event, there would be road closures in Ambleside on Marine Drive and on the 1400 block of Clyde Avenue and the possibility of a bike valet service was mentioned.
**Don and I volunteered at the both set up by HUB, located at the atrium in Park Royal South which was not a location attractive for people on bicycles.
*'''Bike lanes on Westmount Road'''
**Don and I invited passing pedestrians to the booth and we counted over 100.
**Paul submitted our comments on the engineer drawings to the District staff, calling for consistent buffered uphill bike lanes on the whole route.
**Only two cyclists showed up at the booth and it was at the end of the 2-hour period.
*'''Welch Street Bridge''' (http://wiki.bikehub.ca/northshore/images/e/e5/Welch_Street_Bridge_-_me_on_new_path_2021-10-04_IMG_3560.JPG) (http://wiki.bikehub.ca/northshore/index.php?title=File:Welch_Street_Bridge_-_looking_west_from_crosswalk_2021-10-04_IMG_3560.JPG)
**Apparently ADBI had been approached to participate but did want to pay the participation fees to HUB.
**The new widened path is now open to cyclists and pedestrians but more work is needed at the east end before completion.
*26 August phone call with Jenn Moller, director of Engineering and Transportation
*'''Cypress Village''' (http://wiki.bikehub.ca/northshore/images/a/a3/Cypress_Village_map_of_all_facilities.jpg)
**Ciclovia
**Paul and Peter submitted personal comments by 4 October on survey No. 2 which included a bike network map.
***West Vancouver Active Family Day on Sunday, 26 September may not occur as planned due to concerns expressed by ADBI about their responsibility in organizing and paying for the event.
**A HUB letter will be sent to the DWV with HUB-North Shore comments.
***Jenn has canvassed interested parties for a 30-minute meeting with ADBIA next week.
*'''Proposed 660 Clyde Avenue development''' (https://www.660clyde.com/)
***I sense a concern about who will fund the event - Jenn says she is willing to contribute $12,00 but doesn't have the money in her budget.
**A significant feature of the plans is a separated bike lane along the north side of Marine Drive from the westbound bridge over the Capilano River to Taylor Way and around the corner -
***It seems likely to me that the event will be postponed until next spring.
** A public hearing is scheduled for 19 October and comments will be received by the developer up to 12 October.
**Lack of bike racks in Ambleside parks
*'''Proposed 671 Clyde Avenue development''' (http://wiki.bikehub.ca/northshore/images/0/05/671_Clyde_Avenue.jpg)
**In response to the photo of 23 bikes strewn over the lawn in John Lawson Park, Jenn said that there was a 2020 plan for bike racks in the parks but it didn't happen due to COVID-19.
**199 micro units with 0.25 parking stalls per unit and 199 bike stalls and charging facility for e-bikes.
**Plans for bike lanes on Westmount Road
**Preliminary Development Proposal passed at 4 October council meeting.
*** Jenn is awaiting grant funding and HUB-NS comments - I said that I was generally pleased with the engineer drawings.
<br\>
***I have briefly discussed with Paul recommending speed pillows instead of speed humps on the route. I really like the ones recently installed on Roosevelt Cres east of Pemberton in DNV (http://wiki.bikehub.ca/northshore/index.php?title=File:Speed_pillows_on_Roosevelt_Cres_2021-08-20_IMG_3478.jpg).
*DWV Capital Planning
**Jenn said her deadline for input is the end of September and she would like to meet with us before then to discuss her input.
*Strategic Transportation plan update
**Preparation is behind schedule and it is planned to have technical conditions and milestones for the project by the end of August.
**The timing for consulting with stakeholders has not yet been determined.
*Protected bike lane on Marine Drive east of the LGB
**DNV has the lead on this project and DWV will provide input with the project due for completion in 2022.

Developers - Fred/Paul & Peter

  • Currently active:
    • West Van
      • Marine Drive
    • CNV
      • Habourside
    • DNV
      • Maplewood
      • Lynn Creek TC
        • Interesting redevelopment at Marie Place (off Crown St east of Mtn Hwy) in the Lynn Creek town Centre. DNV council allowed it to go to first reading at March 29 /2021 council meeting. Eleven single family homes to be replaced by two 6 storey apartments. Unique to the plan is to provide bicycle parking facilities on each floor of both buildings. The same developer owns a large property to the west bordering Mountain Hwy which includes the Dykoff Nursery lands for which they are hoping to get council approval. Mayor Little commented that these projects need wider support from the community for council to consider them. Those who spoke in favour tended to have a business relationship. HUB NS is aware that without large scale redevelopment Lynn Creek will not see better cycling infrastructure. A HUB member presence might make a difference. The concept of locating bike rooms in upper floors is gaining traction.
