The City of North Vancouver is seeking the public’s thoughts on a plan that would allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross the Cut without taking their life in their hands.

The city is working on conceptual designs for an overpass that would cross Highway 1, linking Loutet Park with the Cedar Village neighbourhood in Lynn Valley.

The idea has been on paper for years.

After hiring a consultant to review safety, forecast usage, travel time benefits, cost, and environmental impact, the city opted for a span linking Casano Drive to Rufus Avenue.

Geotechnical consultants will soon be using a drilling rig to take core samples from the soil north of the baseball field at Loutet.

Residents are invited to see the concept plan and have their questions answered by city staff at an open house on March 2 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Sutherland secondary school.
