District of West Vancouver - Paul/Peter/Mike

  • Bike to shop day on 7 August
    • Don and I volunteered at the both set up by HUB, located at the atrium in Park Royal South which was not a location attractive for people on bicycles.
    • Don and I invited passing pedestrians to the booth and we counted over 100.
    • Only two cyclists showed up at the booth and it was at the end of the 2-hour period.
    • Apparently ADBI had been approached to participate but did want to pay the participation fees to HUB.
  • 26 August phone call with Jenn Moller, director of Engineering and Transportation
    • Ciclovia
      • West Vancouver Active Family Day on Sunday, 26 September may not occur as planned due to concerns expressed by ADBI about their responsibility in organizing and paying for the event.
      • Jenn has canvassed interested parties for a 30-minute meeting with ADBIA next week.
      • I sense a concern about who will fund the event - Jenn says she is willing to contribute $12,00 but doesn't have the money in her budget.
      • It seems likely to me that the event will be postponed until next spring.
    • Lack of bike racks in Ambleside parks
      • In response to the photo of 23 bikes strewn over the lawn in John Lawson Park, Jenn said that there was a 2020 plan for bike racks in the parks but it didn't happen due to COVID-19.
    • Plans for bike lanes on Westmount Road
  • DWV Capital Planning
    • Jenn said her deadline for input is the end of September and she would like to meet with us before then to discuss her input.
  • Strategic Transportation plan update
    • Preparation is behind schedule and it is planned to have technical conditions and milestones for the project by the end of August.
    • The timing for consulting with stakeholders has not yet been determined.
  • Protected bike lane on Marine Drive east of the LGB
    • DNV has the lead on this project and DWV will provide input with the project due for completion in 2022.
  • Lime bike share
    • Implementation issues in North Van have delayed setting up in West Van.
