The City of North Vancouver is planning to build a new Upper Level Greenway that will stretch for three kilometres, from Lynn Valley Road to Westview Drive.

CNV has issued a bid for the greenway, which will provide an east-west connection north of Highway 1.

The Upper Levels Greenway will span almost the entire east-west length of the City, north of the highway.

According to the bid documents, the project will link the city’s parks and open spaces in that stretch to create a continuous network of active transportation routes and recreational spaces.

The greenway will also connect commercial areas with schools and the surrounding neighbourhoods.

CNV says a “greenway” in this context will be infrastructure that supports safe, direct, and pleasant travel to and through the three-kilometre area.

Although the Upper Levels Greenway doesn’t have a specific design, CNV expects the contractor to provide all ages and abilities infrastructure and consider the fact that it will be shared by bicycle, scooter and other mobility devices.

CNV also wants the project to provide a connection above and below the highway via the Jones Avenue overpass and the future Casano-Loutet overpass, which will connect across the highway near Lynn Valley Road.

The Upper Level greenway is among four major greenway networks included in CNV’s parks plan.

The other three are Green Necklace, North Shore Spirit Trail, and the Ravine Greenway System.

CNV intends to start construction in Spring 2023 and complete the project by December 31, 2023.

    This sounds like an amazing idea. Nonetheless, I would love to read more about the plan.

    I did also love the Mayor’s plan to build a part above the highway near Lonsdale.

    This actually annoys me. I would much rather have had the city ensure Harry Jerome remained open during the build of the new rec centre than these other costly and somewhat unnecessary projects.

    You’re kidding right?
    The City has enough parks/greenways that are overgrown and strewn with garbage.
    Who will maintain this greenway?
    Our homeless population will have no problem inhabiting this space, as it will be an “Out of sight, Out of mind” gathering place.
    What you propose to be used by bikes, scooters and mobility devices, will be an accident waiting to happen because of the garbage and unkept space.
    Put the money into hiring staff for the parks and greenways we currently have.
    You are asking for a lawsuit, or more.

    Before supporting the greenways, I need to see a serious plan on its maintenance and monitoring and the costs thereof.
    Do we just continue to raise property taxes to fund all of ths on top of a host of other tax increases to pay down expenses incurred throughout the COVID pandemic?

    Before supporting the Greenways, I need to see a serious plan on their maintenance and monitoring and the continuing expenses.: increased Police force to monitor, employees for refuse removal and so forth.
    Where would all the monetary support come from? Are the citizens expected to bear increased taxes until they can no longer find the cash to fulfill the taxes? What then? Replace those people with ever more wealthy people while creating more homelessness? The entire social structure needs to be addressed before Greenways are implemented.
