  • 2021 Plan:
    • Tatlow+W15th
      • A DVV priority. Requires engagement with local residents. Connection from Marine Drive to 15th needs attention.
    • Ruffus/Kirkstone and Brooksbank to connect to Casano/Loutet overpass
      • DNV feels that existing road network is adequate (low traffic volumes) and are not planning on changes at this time.
    • Hunter street bridge in Lynn Creek TC
      • design has started, construction start in summer. DNV will share design with HUB when appropriate.
    • Steep MUP from Deep Cove to Parkgate via Indian River neighbourhood
      • Funds for this are only in the $100,000 range. Goal is to upgrade parts of the existing trail. Nothing difinitive at this stage.
    • Upper LV Road (Phase I) from TC to Peters Road in 2021. Peters to Dempsey planned for 2022 but may be included in Phase I.
    • 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."
    • Met with Ingrid on January 19 to go over HUB priorities. The DNV will be expiditing improvememts to the Mountain Hwy corridor to Lynn Valley town centre to address cycling impediments.
    • Met with Ingrid January 26 on upper Lynn Valley Rd cyling paths. Uphill protected bike path currently in the design stage. HUB has been asked to provide input. In general terms there will be a protected bike lane on both sides of Lynn Valley Rd as part of phase I. (Mountain Hwy to Peters Rd.)
    • Meeting with Ingrid February 5 to provide HUB comments on VR design (Mtn Hwy to Peters Road.)
  • also ask about budget for missing Wayfinding signage
  • Other
    • DNV did not buy bike path sweeper in 2020 due to Covid, but not sure if it is in the 2021 budget request.

    • Draft designs for a MUP on east and west side of Mountian Hwy north of the overpass.
