Upper Levels Greenway

Update August 2024

In April 2024, the project team took a report to Council that proposed a first phase for the Upper Levels Greenway. This proposal includes an improved north-south connection across the highway between the new Harry Jerome Community Recreation Centre and the preferred greenway route on 25^th Street. Learn more in the report to Council.

The project team continues to work with our provincial partners to analyse this refined project scope. Once this technical work is complete, the project team will reconnect with the community about next steps. Thank you for your patience as we work through this complex transportation project.

Update January 2024

The project team continues to work with our provincial partners to analyse the Upper Levels Highway intersection at Lonsdale. This work must be completed before we can reconnect with the community to share the full concept design. Thank you for your patience as we work through this multi-modal safety and design process.

Update June 2023

Over the past 12 months, we have focused on completing a variety of assessments, studies and reviews to ensure we develop a concept design that responds to community feedback and explores a number of challenging design constraints. To date, we’ve completed:

Tempe Park Forest Inventory – Documenting tree health and identifying the least impactful path through the park.
FireSmart Planning – Developing a forest management plan to address fire safety issues in Tempe Park.
Highway Noise Assessment – Measuring current noise levels and investigating options in Tempe Park to help design a path that avoids increased noise levels for residents.
Structural Studies – Understanding the condition and repair needs of various structures between Tempe Park and Lynn Valley Road.
Drainage Review – Developing a detailed plan to improve drainage flows and capacity throughout the study area.
Neighbourhood Traffic Assessment – Examining how the greenway will affect traffic patterns and identifying ways to reduce speeding and neighbourhood shortcutting.
Highway Analysis – Working with our provincial partners to analyse the Lonsdale intersection and confirm a safe multi-modal design. This work continues and a design solution has not yet been confirmed.

What’s Next?
We plan to reconnect with the community in winter 2023/2024 to share a full concept design for the Upper Levels Greenway and gather community input and ideas. Thank you for your patience while we completed the necessary background work to advance the project and bring forward a design that reflects careful consideration.

Update July 2022

In May 2022, we launched the second phase of engagement for the Upper Levels Greenway and presented three route options based on the priorities you told us were important. We also presented a number of design approaches and gathered input about how well each of the different approaches support the community priorities of safety and experience.

Over 800 survey responses were received and over 100 people attended in-person events to share their input. Learn more in the Phase 2 Engagement Summary.

The feedback we received indicates that the Purple Route is likely emerging as the preferred option to advance to the next phase of concept design. The public engagement period also helped us identify several technical questions that require further exploration in order to confirm the preferred route. Learn more in the Existing Conditions Summary.

Over the next few months, we will explore key feasibility questions related to:

Alignment options in Tempe Heights Park, including considerations around topography, accessibility, and forest and invasive species management
The condition of the berm between Lynn Valley Road and Tempe Heights Park
Intersection analysis and design options for safely crossing both Lonsdale and Westview Drive
Neighbourhood level traffic calming opportunities to reduce speeding and shortcutting while maintaining local access

The results of these investigations will be used to confirm the preferred route and develop the concept design for the Upper Levels Greenway. The community will have an opportunity to review the concept and provide feedback in early 2023.

Thank you for your suggestions. This project will be considering opportunities for sidewalk infill throughout the neighbourhoods to improve connections in and around the main greenway route and to surrounding destinations.
The City is in ongoing conversations with the Province about opportunities for an additional highway overpass east of Lonsdale. The greenway route selected will not preclude a tie in to another overpass if that separate project advances. The City will be looking to improve connections to the Jones overpass and is in discussion with the District of North Vancouver about making a connection to the new Casano-Loutet overpass that will begin construction soon. You can learn more about that new overpass project here https://www.cnv.org/property-and-development/projects-and-developments/major-studies-and-projects/casano-loutet-overpass
Share If one of the stated goals of the project is “an opportunity to link existing parks and open spaces with schools, commercial areas, amenities, and destinations” then why do all the available routes avoid going anywhere near Boundary School, or in the direction of Argyle?

Providing safe rolling access to school for students would also reduce traffic in the area and improve the experience of all local residents.

The City project team is in communication with our colleagues at the District regarding how our active mobility networks can integrate with and complement each other. This greenway work is focused on routes south of the CNV/DNV boundary to infill the mobility network in these neighbourhoods that are missing key infrastructure such as sidewalks and safe cycle routes.
The Upper Levels Greenway project will be considering additional opportunities for improved north south connections in key locations. Your comment about a clear connection to the 29th Street route has been noted as one of these considerations.

Thank you for your suggestion and desire to see safety improvements in this location. The Lynn Valley Road intersection is under review by the Province to complete safety and operational improvements. The City project team is in communication with our colleagues in the District about how a pathway will navigate District land toward the new Casano-Loutet Overpass. These improvements will be complementary parallel works separate from this greenway design process.

Thank you for the suggestion. Part of the challenge with the 26th Street section west of Lonsdale is one of the blocks does not connect through. The blue route was shown to go north to connect with Holy Trinity at this location to serve the school and get around the disconnected block. All feedback of this nature will be used to inform how the final route is assembled.

Brig asked over 2 years ago

Thank you for your feedback on the 27th Street sections of the various routes. The purpose of this engagement period is to gather input on the options so we can inform a route that will work for the community. No decision has been made about where the greenway will travel yet.
This is one of the initial options because it helps provide direct links to the schools in the area and there is interest in providing safe travel options to these destinations. We have also received feedback requesting traffic calming and sidewalk improvements throughout the neighbourhood, including 27th Street. These improvements will still be considered even if the official greenway route travels along a different street.
The Upper Levels Greenway is more than a bike lane project. It is a full active mobility project looking at all the safety, accessibility, and connection opportunities for people of all ages travelling by all modes.

In order to provide safe and accessible mobility space there may need to be adjustments to how parking is designed and accommodated. This would be something the design process will examine regardless of where the greenway travels. Various considerations such as the width of the street, parking demand, and safety requirements will inform how these elements will be integrated together.

The Upper Levels Greenway is one element of the evolving City and North Shore active mobility network. The greenway project will provide closer access and more direct connections to safe north-south crossing points of the highway. The project is also an opportunity to provide more investment in park and green space in these neighbourhoods. The City aims to meet a range of transportation, safety, accessibility, and parks goals beyond what utilizing the existing transportation focused infrastructure on 29th Street allows for.
