City of North Vancouver plans to narrow vehicle travel lanes, add a new mobility lane and lower speed limits as part of a new design of St Andrews between Keith Road and 13th Street.
Narrowing the road, CNV says, will also allow it to reallocate some road space to create a northbound separated mobility lane.
“Narrower lanes also create shorter crossing distances for pedestrians at intersections, which reduces the risk of an accident,” CNV says.
CNV is seeking public opinion on the proposed design, and the deadline for feedback is July 23 at 4 pm.
The section of St Andrews between Keith Road and 13th Street is a wide, local street that is well-used by pedestrians, is a designated bike route and an important connection to the Green Necklace, Lions Gate Hospital and other amenities.
“Our goal is to provide a safer, more comfortable experience for all road users,” CNV adds.
Two raised crosswalks, improve sightlines at intersections, and new mobility lanes are other design changes being planned.
A separated lane northbound for slower uphill cyclists will provide increased comfort and safety, and reduce conflict between cyclists and vehicles, the city says.
Parking will be located between the vehicle lane and the mobility lane.
Great! More disruption to a quiet neighbourhood that is just fine as it is! Find something else to do. 😡
