WHAT’S NEW
A critical link in the Spirit Trail traversing the North Shore’s waterfront will soon be open, following an agreement between the Squamish Nation and City of North Vancouver.
After two years of negotiations and planning, the band and city signed an agreement last week that will extend the Spirit Trail through Mosquito Creek Marina on Squamish territory and into the Harbourside area where it connects westward to the District of North Vancouver and District of West Vancouver.
WHAT’S NEXT
Heading east, from Waterfront Park, the Spirit Trail is still under construction along the central waterfront and Low Level Road into Moodyville Park. Beyond that, a pedestrian/cycling bridge is now under construction over the Third Street hill, allowing the trail to connect to the Park & Tilford shopping area and beyond. The 6.5 kilometres of trail along the city’s waterfront should be complete by 2017, according to city staff.
