The City of North Vancouver is located on the North Shore, in the Metro Vancouver area. In the last decade, substantial changes occurred in the City and the Metro Vancouver region. The Official Community Plan (OCP) developed in 2002 gives the highest priority to walking, cycling and transit modes. Development of the Long-term Transportation Plan started in 2006, and this plan has been completed and will be considered for endorsement by the City Council in April of 2008. The Plan is intended to provide a strategic vision of the multi-modal transportation system to serve the City of North Vancouver for the next 20 years and beyond. This is a progressive transportation plan, designed to support walking, transit and cycling; to work toward a balanced transportation system that is strongly integrated with the City's other plans and programs and with our neighbouring municipalities; and to support efficient movement of people and goods. The Plan supports creation of complete streets that would provide safe access and mobility for all users whether they are pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, drivers, able or with disabilities. This project was nominated for the TAC 2007 Sustainable Urban Transportation Award. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E216597.
