While it doesn’t promise the key to gridlock, the Lynn Valley Community Association is preparing to host a traffic information meeting Jan. 19 at the Mollie Nye House.
“The idea really is to let people know what’s going on, and also to let them know there’s going to be some light at the end of the tunnel,” explained Lynn Valley Community Association president Gillian Konst.
A District of North Vancouver staff member is scheduled to present updates on traffic projects throughout the neighbourhood, with a focus on the Lower Lynn interchange. The 50-year-old interchange is set to receive a $150-million upgrade in three phases at Mountain Highway, Fern Street and Dollarton Highway with 2021 listed as the completion date, according to the ministry of transportation.
The Keith Road Bridge is also a likely topic of conversation. The entire bridge is scheduled to open in the spring when warmer weather allows district crews to finish paving.
The LVCA has also invited District of North Vancouver Coun. Robin Hicks and North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Jane Thornthwaite in the hopes of getting municipal and provincial perspectives on the gridlock, Konst said. Both officials have been asked to make brief statements and be on hand for questions.
The event begins at 7 p.m. Parking is available beside the Hillside Baptist Church.
The event is free but guests are asked to register. To learn more visit lvca.ca.
