ITE Greater Vancouver is delighted to announce an upcoming in-person tour featuring the Esplanade Complete Street in the City of North Vancouver, presented by the City of North Vancouver and ISL.
About the Esplanade Complete Street:
Esplanade is a regionally significant Major Road Network (MRN), Frequent Transit Network (FTN), and Major Bike Network (MBN) corridor, hosting numerous transit routes, commercial vehicles, and some of the highest volumes of pedestrian and cycling numbers within the City of North Vancouver. The Esplanade Complete Street project has reallocated limited public street right-of-way to improve multi-modal safety and functionality with protected and separated active mobility lanes, reconfiguring bus stops to limit dangerous vehicle interactions and investing in streetscape features to bring vibrancy to this dense residential and commercial neighbourhood. This tour will explore how this capital project is supporting the City’s vision of becoming the Healthiest Small City in the World and provide participants the opportunity to discuss the policy context, design process, and construction lessons.
