HUB North Shore

A man and woman in rain gear pose with a cargo bike, the man in the saddle and the woman in the bucket.

It’s been an exhilarating, exhausting and emotional week, fantastically finished with a social ride in North Vancouver—reminding us why it’s called the “wet coast”. Thanks to everyone who bought a ticket and/or a book, and made time to come see and speak with us. It really does mean the world to us.

Seamlessly linking key destinations between the Spirit Trail and Seabus terminal, North Vancouver’s Esplanade has been transformed into a complete street. The wider sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and Dutch-style intersections help to create a more safe and welcoming environment for all road users.

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.

Opinion: A bridge over McCartney Creek is the most important Spirit Trail piece It will be costly, but completing this portion of the North Vancouver trail will make things safer for school kids, seniors, strollers, cyclists, wheelchairs....

So what can YOU do? First, you can join the Vancouver Green Party on a ride in support of cycling in Stanley Park on Saturday, Sept 13th, 2pm at the Park Board office at 2099 Beach Ave #bikeyvr 1/5

The Stanley Park Mobility Study has been released, and the VULC is quite disappointed at its contents. While we support improving bus service in the park, nothing in the report will make cycling safer or more accessible in the near future. #bikeyvr 1/8

After 3 years, the Stanley Park Mobility Study has been released. You can read it here: parkboardmeetings.vancouver.ca/2025/2025091...

It is very, very underwhelming. A return of a separated bike lane is contemplated, but not specifically recommended, in the 7-15 year timeframe.

A the top of Windridge hill, the choice is to connect back to Mount Seymour Parkway or to use a small trail that connects to Berkley Road.

Project ends at Berkley Road at the Recreation Centre. Sign says "Temporay End of Trail".

The hill up Windridge Drive is quite steep, but is quieter than the route along Mount Seymour Parkway.
