**DNV is the project manager and DWV is providing some funding.
*A Hadden Drive to Westcot Road MUP is planned for 2025 but MoTI approval is needed as part of it will occupy a traffic lane on the Taylor Way off-ramp from Hwy 1.
*Spirit Trail - some funding left over from the original project has been discovered and could be used to make improvements to that busy section through Ambleside Park east of 13th Street.
*We requested that an " EXCEPT BICYCLES" sign be added to the two "NO ENTRY" signs at the exit from the parking lot in Ambleside Park, which would allow eastbound cyclists to legally pass through that one-way traffic exit from the parking lot to ride on the road to the three hole golf course which has been signed for faster cyclists and is directly adjacent to the Spirit Trail.
