1. Capilano Road Improvement Project WELCOME TO THE OPEN HOUSE

2. Capilano Road now... I have nowhere to walk. Riding is tricky too. Not a pleasant road to drive!

3. This project helps.... Water Main Storm Sewer Better Lighting Safer Road Fewer Conflicts Safer Travel Fewer Conflicts Safer Crossings No Sidewalk Obstructions Better transit Future bus route on Capilano Road Reduce the sharp curve, reducing collision risk and promoting more consistent travel speeds Add street lighting to improve visibility for all users Allow for a traffic signal at 21 st Street for better access and easier pedestrian crossings Reconstruct and widen sidewalks on the east side, and at key locations on west side Construct separate bicycle lanes on both to ensure safe travel for cyclists Replace a water main underneath Capilano Road Rehabilitate the pavement along the roadway Allows for future bus priority lane

4. Design Existing After Project five vehicle lanes no bike facilities transit, left turns share centre lane five wider vehicle lanes new bike lanes on both sides full sidewalk on east side sidewalk at key locations on west side southbound transit stays in centre lane space for ultimate design requires additional width south of Fullerton Avenue transit priority lane moves to curb left turn bays re-instated west sidewalk could be continued Ultimate Design Fullerton Avenue to Highway 1 North

5. Proposed Schedule To finalize the construction schedule DNV will: pick the timing that takes into account traffic disruption coordinate with other nearby construction projects wait until after 2010 Winter Olympics ensure environmental plan approval gain Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure approval

6. Project Design – South End

7. Project Design – North End Design of northern section subject to Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure approval Ramps for Highway 1 Ramps for Highway 1

8. Ultimate Design – South End North Vancouver Hotel Transit priority lane provided alongside curb.
