The Innovation District project in Maplewood is on hold until after the October municipal election, but Darwin Properties and Tsleil-Waututh Nation, the developers, are still holding community open houses about the project.

The developers are inviting the public to the open houses to learn about the project and how they plan to address traffic concerns, environmental measures as well as amenities planned for the Seymour community. They are inviting feedback and ideas on how the community wants to see the project developed.

The Innovation District plans include 1.4 million square feet of business floor area, 680 rental units and 220 “education-oriented” rooms, $7.5 million in community amenities, road and trail network construction as well as stream and habitat protection measures.

North Vancouver District council voted July 16 to halt the process after locals asked for a pause as they learn more about the project that includes residential, commercial and industrial development.

Open houses take place at Innovation Campus Gymnasium, 2420 Dollarton Hwy., on the following dates:

July 24: 12 to 3 p.m.

Aug. 8: 4 to 7 p.m.

Aug. 21: 12 to 3 p.m.

Sept. 5: 4 to 7 p.m.

Sept. 13: 12 to 3 p.m.

Sept. 15: 12 to 3 p.m.
