    • It is planned to have bike go down Seymour Blvd to get to IWMB – not perfect but still an improvement - they need to negotiate with Squamish Nation to finalize plans. Blvd
    • There is a plan at north end of IWMB to improve paths for cyclists exiting and entering onto the bridge – it will be in phase 3 2020 – lots could still change.
    • They are still at the preliminary design stage, so we have time for more input to get bicycle lane separation.
  • City of North Vancouver
    • Harry Jerome Community Centre Update - On Monday April 10, Council directed staff to seek public feedback on two options for a new Harry Jerome Community Centre.
