Input from Antje
Low hanging fruit: Please discuss and perhaps we can finalize the list to send out some time in October.
Report cards: I would suggest that a sub-group works on this (providing updates at the monthly meeting). Please let me know who is interested in participating.
Stanley Park Causeway update: MOTI has a consultant report with various options for the causeway sidewalk, from building a barrier/fence at the curb to widening paths. MOTI hasn't released the report so HUB hasn't seen the proposed designs yet. Support from Park Board needed for any widening. HUB submitted more suggestions for safer cycling through Stanley Park, including addressing the narrow bike lane in the S curve, causeway intersections, signage between downtown and the North Shore, lighting, detour during causeway sidewalk construction, improving off-causeway routes. The City of Vancouver indicated they may pilot the new TransLink wayfinding guidelines for signage around Stanley Park, including to the North Shore.
McGill onramp to Second Narrows bridge: A car lost control on the McGill onramp in August and crashed through the chainlink fence and crossed the bike path in August. A cyclist was only a few seconds away from the location - she would have been seriously injured or killed if she had been in the path of the car. She emailed MOTI about closing the gap in the concrete barriers along the McGill onramp. MOTI responded that they are looking at the location. Should we send a letter to MOTI, with HUB Vancouver?
