Gordon Municipal Clerk District of North Vancouver 355 West Queens Road North Vancouver, BC V7N 4N5 Dear Mr. Gordon Re: District of North Vancouver OCP Bylaw 7900 This is in response to your request for feedback on the proposed Official Community Plan (OCP) for the District of North Vancouver. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure does not have any specific concerns from a provincial highway planning perspective. To quote from our March 21, 2011 letter commenting on Draft OCP Two: We are supportive of any initiatives that help to achieve a balanced road hierarchy with good municipal arterial connectivity. Examples included in the OCP are: • "potential new roads" in the Keith-Seymour and Main-Dol/arton corridors (shown on the Major Roads and Goods Movement map), and; • "desired connections" (shown on the Parks and Trails map). We appreciate the opportunity to work with the District ofNorth Vancouver on land use and transportation planning concems of mutual interest. To this end, we wil/ continue to work with District staffon studies and initiatives retated to the Iron Workers Memorial Second Narrows Bridge and Lions Gate bridgeheads.

Not sure if that is what happens at this stage, or if feedback goes to the Public Hearing. Tom -----Original Message--··· From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday May 06, 2011 9:11 PM To: Tom lancaster Subject: OCP Hey Tom, please forward to the Mayor for me. I absolutely love living in North Vancouver. I was born here, lived in Deep Cove till I was 12, then moved to Upper lonsdale and have lived here ever since. However, as I get closer and closer to moving out on my own, I am now realizing that living alone in North Vancouver isn't really an option. To rent or buy in North Vancouver is completely outrageous and unless I want to room with like 3 other people, it is becoming less of an option. My sister is the newest victim to the overwhelming housing prices in North Vancouver. After living on the North Shore her whole life, my sister is now being forced to move to New Westminster because of the outrageously high housing prices in North Van. Being a Vancouver Police Officer, it will become more inconvenient for her to commute to work each day. Don't we want service people to live in or close to the city they work in? -Kaitlyn Sent on the TELUS Mobility network with BlackBerry 1 6 Louise Simkin From: lloyd Burbridge [[email protected]] ~ent: Wednesday May 11. 2011 10:43 AM to: Mayor and Council - DNV Subject: OCP Public Hearing comments from a Glenaire resident RE: Written Submission for OCP Public Ilearings I will not be able to attend the public hearings on 16 May in person. I will in fact be away for most oflhe summer.! wish to again restate my views on the vision and my perspective of this communities future under the Official Community Plan. My support for Mayor Walton and Council continues to this day. Also, special thanks are due the DNV Planning Departmelll and all District staff who have provided us with their support by their efforts, There is an increased awareness of possible and positive forward moving change for our community. I have been a resident since 1983 and plan to remain. As I approach "senior status" [ have a deeper appreciation for the prospect and benefits of living in a more integrated and sustainable manner. Many orus long-term residents of this area have welcomed and responded positively to these necessary steps leading to change. "we have come torward and gained awareness of the needs that arise from changing conditions and opportunity. This Official Community Process is a necessary and vital step to a more viable future. I give my full support to this plan for my community of Lower Capilano. Sincerely I ....

I can not attend the public meeting on May 16th but I urge you to adopt the OCP document. I have recently moved back to North Van after growing up here. My husband, two small children and I own a home in Lynn Valley. We chose Lynn Valley since it is a compact community. We use walking and cycling as our main mode of transportation to attend preschool, go to the cotTee shop and do our shopping: however. we try to avoid walking along Lynn Valley Road since the sidewalks are so narrow and it is dangerous with two small. unwieldy children so close to busy traffic. I ancnded the Lynn Valley Community Association talk with Patrick Condon tonight and heartily agree that Lynn Valley Road needs to go on a 'diet'. He suggested widening the sidewalk and creating a bike route by reducing LV Road to two lanes. I also cycle to work in Downtown Vancouver and would prefer a wider shoulder or bike lane to cycle on LV Valley road. I spoke briefly with Cllr Hicks about this tonight. I \\ould like to see Lynn Valley Mall re-developed into a mixed use commercial and residential area with limited surface level parking. I am supportive ora diversity of housing types from row homes to mid rise buildings. ~s we move forward in this process. I urge you to focus on the true purpose of planning; to create sustainable. complete communities for our children and grandchildren. We need aspire to excellence to create great places and not senIe for the status quo. Suzy Lunn 2662 Ailsa Crescent AcUenl: OF" OMall IlJEmaii North Vancouver.

The City recognizes that this is a major step towards a comprehensive vision for the District, and the City commends you for this effort. Specifically, the City of North Vancouver offers the following comments: 1. The "Network of Centres" has the potential to contribute to a strong sustainability corridor extending from Ambleside to Maplewood. The City is very supportive of this concept. It furthers a concept that emerged from our 100 Year Sustainability Vision. 2. The three North Shore municipalities and First Nations will need to work together to facilitate and coordinate transportation on the North Shore. This will be a significant challenge. The City looks forward to working together with all partners.
