Meeting Summary: July 4, 2013

1. Attendance: Peter, Dianne, Norm Wong, Erin , Fiona, and Nelson
2. West Vancouver infrastructure plans and issues
   • 1300 block in Ambleside - proposed separated lane on the south side of Bellevue was referred to CN who said it was too close to to railway right-of-way on south side. - instead it will likely be a shared lanes with sharrows. - we expressed concern about angled parking on the north side of Bellevue, narrow traffic lanes and a dangerous cross of the railway tracks for cyclists proceeding west from the Spirit Trail.
   • Keith Road bike route - Onni has completed, adjacent to their property west of Taylor Way, sidewalks on the south side and created two 4.3 m wide lanes for sharrows but not yet paved or marked. Separated bike lane was not considered at the time of Evelyn Drive development planning, therefore Peter to draft HUB letter to provide sidewalk and two-way separated cycle track on Keith District held an open house for Keith Road 12th to 11th Street and will hold another one in the fall.
   • Bike route signage - signage done on Bellevue 13-21st Streets, 21st Street to Fulton, Fulton to 14th Street and started on 14th Street. - more wayfinding signage will follow using new Translink standards. - Peter pointed out that share the road signs indicate single file traffic where it should be side by side traffic and bike route signs should contain the name of the bike route as in Vancouver and other North Shore communities.
   • Park Royal bridge across Capilano River and connection to Spirit Trail - 20 km/hr speed limit, painted crosswalk with elephant feet, traffic island, share the road signage and sharrow onroad surface have been completed but finishing touch yet to be done. Park Royal is planning what to do when exiting west off the bridge to the Spirit Trail - Capilano Pacific Trail path between and under all bridges over the river to be made into a wider multi-purpose path in 2014
