  • The District's Engineering & Transportation staff are planning on partnering with ICBC this spring/summer to do a Network Screening Study of intersections in West Vancouver to identify safety improvements for peds, bikes, and vehicles, that they can incorporate into a multi-year capital program to improve intersection safety. They hope to have a project agreement with ICBC by the end of the month.
  • Paul and I will represent HUB North Shore at the 12 April Howe Sound Community Forum meeting. This forum, hosted by Mayor Mark Sager and the District of West Vancouver will feature a Roundtable discussion on Transportation Alternatives and Opportunities in the afternoon from 2:00-3:00. The Honorable Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport, Lana Popham who is an avid cyclist, will be joining the meeting to introduce the topic of trails and bike tourism.
