AT Projects Planned for Phase 2 Implementation

Sean O'Sullivan has provided us with the following active transportation projects that are planned for Phase 2 implementation:

Mather Ave MUP from Hadden Dr to Westcott Rd. – This will be a 50/50 cost sharing agreement with TransLink. We are behind on this project. We met with MoTI this summer and showed them the concept design. Because the new design converts one WB lane to a MUP, they have asked us to do an analysis of the impacts it will on the Taylor Way/WB ramp intersection. We hope to complete the analysis this fall and get MoTI approval of the concept before the end of the year. The detail design, final MoTI approval, and construction is planned for 2023.
Marine Dr 26th to 31st bike lanes – We completed the preliminary design and concluded that we could not achieve protected bike lanes for the full distance with the budget provided. We are going to go back to council to show what we can achieve and confirm how they want us to proceed. This is a 50/50 cost sharing project with TransLink.
Sidewalk design – Based on the Pedestrian Network Study, we have selected a number of locations where we want to construct new sidewalks. We are going to issue an RFP for the designs shortly. The new sidewalk segments will be constructed in 2023. This is 50/50 cost sharing project with TransLink.
Marine Drive Bike Lane east of Lions Gate Bridge – The District of North Vancouver is managing this project. My understanding is that the design should be completed this year and construction should start next year.
School Safety Review – We are meeting with each school to document the safety concerns they have. The focus will be on pedestrian and cycling safety concerns. We will then develop a work plan to address the safety issues around schools. We hope to have report prioritizing improvements across the District before the end of the year.

Go By Bike Week at NE end of Lions Gate Bridge 4-6 pm on 3 October

424 total number of riders counted with 87 on e-bikes (20.5%) https://wiki.bikehub.ca/images/8/87/2022-10-03_GBBW_tally_sheet_at_north_end_of_LGB.pdf

Communications & Outreach - Rueben/Antje/Paul/Heather

let us know if there is something we should communicate about - blocked bike lanes, new infrastructure, etc.
Twitter
- Rueben is documenting Esplanade construction and has created a list of other locations for regular posting of infrastructure on Twitter

Schools - Paul Janzen

no updates from last month; however, it’s worth repeating the last item from May:
- Does anyone have a connection with one or more of the following schools - Eastview, Capilano, Ross road, Carisbrooke and .or Westview elementary? We have $ for their program.

Translink - Antje

Smart Lockers at Lonsdale Quay
- Should be available soon? (Lights are on, but still behind fences)
