Lonsdale Great Street Project

Reimagining Central Lonsdale

Central Lonsdale plays a vital role for those living, working and visiting the area. The City of North Vancouver recognizes the many strengths and successes of this corridor and is working with a globally recognized urban strategy and design firm - Gehl and Associates - to help forge a vision for an even more vibrant and inclusive Central Lonsdale in the future.

Our goal - to help Central Lonsdale become our city’s next 'great street' – a street with a diverse and vibrant mix of attractions, events, and businesses, where everyone can live, work, visit and play.

The Lonsdale Great Street Project study area is bounded by Chesterfield Ave to the west, the Trans-Canada Highway to the north, St. Georges Ave to the east, and Victoria Park/Keith Road to the south.
