TransLink wants to year from you

10/24/2015

We have received this from TransLink:

TransLink is undertaking a major transit network consultation and would like your input and feedback:
"Starting on Tuesday, October 13, TransLink is inviting customers and neighbours across the region to have their say on potential changes to the transit network across Metro Vancouver. An online survey will be available until November 6.
We're considering more than 85 proposed changes and asking for feedback now, as we plan for the future.
Proposed transit network changes across the network aim to:
• Deliver on our plans
• Integrate bus service to better connect to the Evergreen Extension
• Decrease travel time on busy routes
• Extend service to areas with high commuter demand
• Take advantage of road and infrastructure changes
• Make our system more efficient
Get Involved
We invite you to take the survey from October 13 – November 6 and have your say on transit in your community. Your feedback will help inform future transit changes.
Stay up-to-date on the progress of this project by signing up for our General TransLink Updates Newsletter.

Please forward this email to any friends, family, or contacts in your organization who would like to have their say on the proposed service changes. Let us know if you’d like to receive hard copy information about where people can find the Transit Network Consultation survey.
Contact TransLink
If you have any questions regarding the Transit Network Consultation please feel free to email, or call. Angela Madaski, Community Relations Coordinator, tnc@translink.ca, 778.375.7587

What do you think would make a better Grandview for pedestrians, cyclists, drivers...?

6/3/2015

If you were unable to attend our last meeting on June 1st, we would welcome your input via email to info@gwac.ca
These proposals come from a committee of GWAC. We need to know from you what meets the community's needs and what needs adjustment.

1] Removal of Peak Hour Parking Restrictions from Commercial Drive, between First Avenue and Venables Street
Understanding that both the Grandview Woodland Area Council and the Commercial Drive Business Society have passed motions requesting that the City of Vancouver remove peak hour parking restrictions from Commercial Drive, between First Avenue and Venables Street, the Grandview Woodland Area Council requests a plan from the City for implementing the change, as soon as possible.

2] Addressing Residual Weaknesses in the Traffic Diversion Strategy Implemented in the Area Bounded by First Avenue, Hastings Street, Nanaimo Street and Clark Drive
It has been noted that substantial peak hour traffic is using Parker Street and Venables Street as an eastbound route between Commercial Drive and Nanaimo Street. This is a residual weakness in the traffic diversion strategy implemented in that area. The Grandview Woodland Area Council requests that the City provide a plan for addressing the issue.

3] Cycling Safety Improvements to Commercial Drive
The Grandview Woodland Area Council requests that the City provide a plan for applying cycling sharrows to Commercial Drive between 14th Avenue and Adanac Street. The Grandview Woodland Area Council also requests that the City provide a plan for the implementation of a separated cycling lane between 14th Avenue and Graveley Street with connection to Salsbury Avenue as a marked cycling route to Adanac Street, including a marked and controlled crossing at Venables Street.

4] Traffic Calming for Victoria Drive
The Grandview Woodland Area Council requests that the City provide a plan for traffic calming for Victoria Drive in keeping with its status as a neighbourhood collector and including marking Victoria Drive as a cycling route between 14th Avenue and Adanac Street.

5] Pedestrian Improvements for Commercial Drive
Recognizing that the majority of trips along Commercial Drive are undertaken on foot and in the interest of the safety of those pedestrians, the Grandview Woodland Area Council requests that the City paint crosswalks at all crossings between 12th Avenue and Hastings Street. The Grandview Woodland Area Council also requests that the City study the feasibility of implementing a scramble crossing at Commercial Drive and First Avenue.

6] Addressing Transit Deficiencies for Commercial Drive
Recognizing that bunching of two and often three 20 Victoria buses is still a consistent problem causing unreliable service delivery on Commercial Drive, the Grandview Woodland Area Council requests that the City press Translink for a comprehensive solution to the bus spacing problem, articulated as a written plan.

7] Cycling Improvements to Hastings Street and Powell Street
Recognizing the need for improved cycling infrastructure on both Hastings Street and Powell Street, the Grandview Woodland Area Council requests that the City provide details of plans for improvement to cycling infrastructure along both streets.

8] Putting In Place Actionable Elements of the Prior-Venables Greenway Project
With the knowledge that the Prior-Venables Greenway Project has received formal recognition on numerous occasions by senior municipal officials, the Grandview Woodland Area Council requests that the City provide a plan for the implementation of actionable elements of the Project, with details regarding the redevelopment and calming of the route following removal of the Georgia Viaduct.

9] Restoration of Off Peak Parking on First Avenue
Recognizing that First Avenue is very unwelcoming to pedestrians, the Grandview Woodland Area Council requests that the City restore off peak parking to the street."
