Colette Parsons is the Urban Design Planner in West Vancouver. First of all, isn’t it great that West Van has an urban design planner? And secondly, she keeps track of Price Tags.
In fact, she just sent me a page from Issue 36 with this reminder:
At the end of your July, 2004 Issue on West Vancouver you pointed out the lack of cycling alternatives and signage from the Lions Gate Bridge to Ambleside.
We wanted to let you know that we have been working on a cycling network and greenway plan which was adopted by Council last Monday. We have secured some funding from the provincial government under the “Spirit Trail” funding to implement a portion of the plan in and around Ambleside and more than likely up to the bridgehead.
I have provided a short cut to our web site if you want to look at some of the details. Its not a perfect document but it is finally moving in the right direction.
Cycling Network and Greenway Plan and Ambleside Town Centre Strategy
Great to hear that West Van is increasing cycling infrastructure.
Did anyone notice that the Ambleside strategy document was named “Mater Document for Web”? Some of the diagrams were interesting, but not overly helpful.
