Low Level bike
route approved

CYCLISTS cutting
across the North
Shore will soon have
an easier time of it as
the construction of a
bike route spanning
the North Shore has
cleared yet another
hurdle.

This is due. in part, to
North Vancouver City coun-
cil’s unanimous approval of a
motion that will see the con-
struction of a bikeway along a
portion of Low Level Road.

The project takes advan-
tage of the Cycling Network
Program, a provincial pro-
gram that offers to pay half
the cost of cycling infrastruc-
ture construction on provin-
cial and local roads.

In a report to council,
North Vancouver's bicycle
coordinator Emma Dal Santo
outlined the particulars of the
$420,000 Low Level Road
bikeway project.

“This path would create a
two-way bicycle path on the
north side of Low Level Road
from Cotton Road for about a
kilometre, then cuts its way
up.to Alder Lane to bring
cyclists back out to
Esplanade, stated Dal Santo.
; Although the motion was

-passed with littie fanfare, it is
representative of Dal Santo's
effort to criss-cross the North
Shore with bicycle-friendly
__ bikeways. According to the

Bicycle Master Plan

approved in principle by both

‘North Vancouver councils,

the Low Level route will
eventually ,cornect the first
and second narrows’ bridges.

a bikeway along the entire
