An Evening w/ the Bruntletts:
Wonderful to welcome Chris and Melissa Bruntlett back and hear about their journey from YVR to the NL 🇳🇱 and beyond. Their experiences show how designing cities for people—through cycling and public spaces—creates healthier, more connected communities.

➡️ Part 2 of our Curb Access & Parking Plan:

✅ 15% of spots always open = easier parking
✅ Better access for businesses + service vehicles

This plan is about fairness, cutting congestion, and making our city work better for everyone. 🌆

🚗 Parking + curb space in North Van needs a fresh approach.

That’s why we’re rolling out the Curb Access & Parking Plan ⬇️

✅ More accessible spaces + delivery zones
✅ Permits for apartment + condo residents

(Watch Part 2 👇 for the rest)

Met Jim, John & Mike today 🚲

Jim and John live at Lonsdale & Esplanade. Mike’s from Lynn Valley. Thanks to the North Shore’s mobility lanes, they have their freedom.

Caught them enjoying the sun near Capilano River ☀️🌊

This is why we need safe routes for all.

I fully understand @cameronmaltby.bsky.social - I can’t direct staff decisions on @cityofnorthvan.bsky.social platforms, but I have been asking questions to get clarity. I am hoping to see engagement on @bsky.app moving forward

“Believe it or not, electric bikes offer more exercise than pedal bikes on average. That fact might sound strange, but the science is clear.”

When cycling infrastructure needs a detour, it shouldn’t be at the expense of people on bikes.

In the Netherlands 🇳🇱, they reclaim space from cars to create safe, seamless routes for all ages and abilities, even during construction.

Connecting Grand Boulevard safely into the bike network north of the highway will massively improve the amount of destinations and amenities that are safely accessible, and is really a vital piece of additional investment to ensure the success of the overpass.

Snip from email received:
The Midtown connector is an absolutely essential piece of the network with the completion of the Loutet Overpass.
