Education & Outreach
- North Shore bike map: letter to North Shore municipal councils, letter to local papers (Antje)
This project involves creating a base map of the north shore with basic routes marked - cyclists add their own as a way to improve the map as it evolves. Draft map - printing with New Westminster by the end of March for Bike to Work Week. The preliminary map will be available in February for review. We decided not to pursue bike shop sponsorship for this edition of the bike map, and to publish MEC only since they funded the development. To fund further editions of the map, we agreed to sell space on the map to mark bike shops and coffee shops for an annual fee. We will develop a sponsorship package over the next year to approach shops.
