East 29th Street Safety Improvements

East 29th Street Safety Improvements Survey

We are working with the District of North Vancouver to identify ways to improve safety along E. 29th Street.

The area we're studying is the stretch between Lonsdale Avenue and Lynn Valley Road, and we're looking at all the ways people move through this corridor: walking, cycling, transit, and driving.

Following more than a year of consultation and study, we have identified a number of options for improving safety along E. 29th Street for people walking, riding bikes, driving, and taking transit, and we want to know what you think. Visit www.cnv.org/East29thStudy for more information.

Survey closes at 4pm April 3, 2018
