Vancouver Cycle Home

Columbia St. is an important link for the Central Valley Greenway to
complete the loop back to the BC Parkway. It is also part of a bigger plan to revitalize Columbia St and transform it from an unattractive commuter thoroughfare with decaying businesses to a revitalized urban space with attractive pedestrian and cyclist ammenities and local traffic whose destination is the local business (and not the quickest route through town).

The City of Vancouver, TransLink and Transport, Canada are developing the Central Valley Greenway, a regional cycling and walking route between downtown Vancouver and New Westminster. We're holding an open house to review the detailed designs and get your feedback:

Time: Tuesday, November 8, 2005, 3:30 to 7:30 pm
Location: Great Northern Way Campus, Conference Centre, 555 Great Northern Way

This open house is for Section 1, which begins at Science World, continues along East 1st Avenue, then along Great Northern Way to Clark Drive and connecting with Grandview Highway North.

The City of Vancouver plans to encourage cycling and transit use with improvements to Pender and Dunsmuir Streets. You are invited to a public open house to view the designs and provide feedback:

Tuesday, November 22, 2005 from 5 - 8 pm
Coal Harbour Community Centre, 480 Broughton Street
(Broughton & Hastings)

Location - Holiday Inn, North Vancouver
Date - Thursday, September 29, 2005
Time - to be announced

The GVRD welcomes ongoing public participation in managing the LSCR. At previous evening forums, topics included trail strategies, education and research, stewardship, an interpretive centre, and water utility projects. At this forum, you can view plans to restore the area disturbed by construction of the filtration plant. We also hope to display interesting artifacts found in the LSCR.

Everyone welcome. Free.
