    • they would like HUB to participate in the grand opening this summer
  • Grand Blvd
    • the piece of grand boulevard west between the parks *will* be closed and turned into part of the park. They plan to have it open at the same time as the overpass.
    • probably start construction there in April
  • Chesterfield & Midtown Connector
    • chesterfield will be the next focus, once the 17th/grand boulevard/casano-loutet segment is done.
    • midtown connector will need input from the multimodal network plan, which is connected to the official community plan update, which is gearing up to start.
    • the network plan will start public engagement next year; it's currently in internal planning phase.
  • Jones Overpass
    • connections from the green necklace to the Jones overpass will be upgraded, and eventually to the upper levels greenway once that's built. The Jones overpass itself isn't getting upgraded because that's MOTT property.
  • King's Mill
    • more segments open; still under construction. The current block of the separated bike lane should be finished in June, and the next block later.
    • spirit trail has connection to a small amount of waterfront on the east side of the park. The rest of the spirit trail along the waterfront will be another couple of years.
  • Fell overpass at 1st

    • 2nd & Fell near the creek will have construction and a bike route detour in spring/summer while Lonsdale Energy installs a heat transfer station.

  • Regular meeting with DNV staff
  • If Queens Road get's funding confirmed in April, **construction go ahead in summer 2026.**
    • TransLink Rapid Implementation = 100% funded!
    • A bike route geographically needs to go along queens in front of Delbrook. There is no alternate route.
      • A solution to not be on West Queens is to build a big bridge - possibly bigger than McCartney Creek on Spirit Trail. Would need to build a crossing over Mosquito Creek.
      • No option through William Griffith
    • A bike route does not need to go along Queens in front of District Hall.
    • Harry Jerome will be open expect summer 2026 - which will ease load on Delbrook

District of West Vancouver - Peter S/Mike C

  • A more detailed list of 12 suggested improvements to the wayfinding signage in the vicinity of the north end of the Lions Gate Bridge between Capilano Road and Taylor Way was sent to DWV staff on 21 March.
  • This week, I received a question about bicycle lockers on the North Shore from the Chair of the DWV Environment Committee. In response, I sent him the TransLink map showing locations of bicycle lockers in Metro Vancouver, which included those at Phibbs Exchange and at the Sea Bus terminal. I also included an excerpt describing bike lockers from the HUB website. I suggested that there may be new bike lockers installed when plans for a BRT terminal at Park Royal North and the upgrading of the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal are implemented.
