Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Project - Council Endorsement
AGENDA INFORMATION D Regular Meeting Date:--------- □ Other: Date:--------- Dept. Manager The District of North Vancouver REPORT TO COUNCIL January 11,. 2021 File: 11.5210.00/000.000 AUTHOR: Banafsheh Rahmani, PEng, Transportation Engineering SUBJECT: Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Project - Council Endorsement RECOMMENDATION: THAT the plan for the Lynn Canyon Park Pay Parking Pilot be endorsed by Council for implementation. REASON FOR REPORT: To seek Council endorsement for implementation of the Lynn Canyon Park Pay Parking Pilot Project. SUMMARY: A report to Committee on Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Project was submitted to Committee of the Whole (CoW) on December 01, 2020. In a December 14, 2020 workshop, CoW recommended the project to be endorsed. The following addresses the Committee's comments received during the December 14, 2020 workshop. The December 01, 2020 Report to Committee is attached as an Appendix to this Report to Council for reference. BACKGROUND: Lynn Canyon Park attracts over a million visitor each year. With growing popularity, the park's parking demand reaches 2,500 vehicles per day during peak summer periods. This volume has resulted in considerable strain not only on park trails, stairs, boardwalks, and supporting amenities, but also on surrounding neighbourhoods from spill-over parking demand. During several recent Council Workshops, including the On-Street Parking Management Strategy Workshop (November 04, 2019), the Parking Policy Workshop (June 22, 2020) and the most recent Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Workshop (December 14, 2020), the use of pay parking as a DNV Park demand management tool has been discussed and recommended for endorsement by DNV Council. -

Approximately 164 hectares (ha) of high hazard fuel types have been identified and the areas detailed in Section 5.1.1 Proposed Treatment Units, page 63, Table 15 and Map 11 Proposed and Past Treatments page 69 for locations. -
