What is Happening? The District of North Vancouver is preparing a conceptual master plan for the future of Seylynn and Bridgman Parks. The conceptual master plan will recommend improvements to the recreational activities, environmental resources, and amenities in the parks. The Process The conceptual master planning process includes three stages of public engagement: Welcome #1 - visioning stage (now) - public and stakeholder sessions #2 - review of plan options (November/December 2013) #3 - review of draft conceptual master plan (Early 2014) Purpose of this Session The purpose of this session is to introduce the project and obtain your input for the conceptual master plan. We are providing information on: • Project context • Site inventory and analysis We are requesting your input on: • What you value and find challenging about the parks today • Vision and objectives for the future of the parks • Amenities that you would like to see in the parks We hope that you will participate in this workshop and complete the comment form. The comment form is also available at dnv.org 1 SEYLYNN AND BRIDGMAN PARKS CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN OPEN HOUSE Sea to Sky Trail Hwy 1 Lynn Creek Inter River Park Lonsdale Ave. Lynn Capilano Canyon University Park Bridgman Park Lynnmour Elementary City of North Vancouver Seymour River Marie Place Park Lynnmouth Seylynn Park Park Lower Lynn Town Centre Site Context - DNV Harbourview Park Squamish Nation Second Narrows Bridge District Boundary Lower Lynn Town Context Map Centre Boundary Spirit Trail Alignment Options 2 SEYLYNN AND BRIDGMAN PARKS CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN OPEN HOUSE LOWER LYNN TOWN CENTRE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Page 18 E. Transportation System The Lower Lynn Town Centre’s central location in the District near the foot of the Ironworker’s Memorial Second Narrows Bridge, port-related activities and Phibbs Exchange, make this area a hub of transportation activity for buses, local and regional traffic, trains, trucks, cyclists and pedestrians. Existing transportation infrastructure (Highway 1, railway lines, Main Street) has influenced adjacent land uses and, in some cases, created physical barriers to neighbourhood connectivity. Transportation improvements guided by this Implementation Plan promote an efficient multi-modal transportation network and enhanced community connection. Road Network Map 8.
