'''Wildwood Lane bike route'''
'''Go by Bike Week'''
*Paul and I have volunteered to help at the celebration station Mon, Sep 23 15:15 - 18:30: 13th and Argyle.
*There was an article on local resident's concerns about safety along Wildwood Lane in the 24 July edition of North Shore News. Wildwood Lane is part of a designated bike route (purple lines on this map: https://wiki.bikehub.ca/images/6/67/Wildwood_Lane_bike_route_map.jpg) north of Hwy 1 that has a bike route overpass connection south across Hwy 1 at 11th Street. Here is a photo from Google Maps: https://wiki.bikehub.ca/images/5/53/Wildwood_Lane_bike_route.jpg
*It was proposed by the former transportation planner, John Calimente, that Wildwood Lane be part of a safer bike route ((multi-use path (MUP)) north of Hwy 1 west to Cypress Village from the currently planned MUP crossing of Taylor Way to Westcot Road.
*Peter sent an email to Jenn Moller, Director of Engineering and Transportation Services, suggesting that it might be helpful to inform residents of plans to extend a MUP from Westcot Road westward along the length of Wildwood Lane.
*Getting local residents on board with proposed improved active transportation infrastructure can sometimes be a problem but in this case, it looks like that might not be a problem.
'''E-scooters approved'''
*DWV Council voted on July 8 to participate in the BC E-scooter Pilot Project. Paul Stott wrote to Council and spoke at the Council meeting to support the project in principal but noting that the District is seriously deficient in the safe bike routes that e-scooters are obliged to use, and that, despite Council endorsing AT facility expansion as a key element of its transportation strategy, expenditure on AT investments is the lowest on the North Shore in per capita terms with no evident change foreseen in the recently approved 5-year financial plan, and no evident progress with its planned Mobility Study. Meetings with the Directors of the Planning and Engineering Depts are to be arranged in due course.
