2. Baden Powell Trail in West Vancouver Upper Lands

We are in discussion with West Vancouver Parks to work on the Baden Powell Trail in the section along Lawson Creek. The proposed project lies between the Trans Canada Trail at 550 meters elevation and the West Lake Loop cross-country ski trail at 850 meters on Hollyburn Ridge. All work will be done in close partnership with the District and access will be negotiated with the District as the project progresses.

The work being proposed is to (1) Improve and provide drainage channels, where needed. (2) Provide wooden or rock steps, where needed. The work will be completed over several years as funding becomes available. There is the opportunity to use volunteers, contractors and municipal resources.

Cost: $9,450 - Phase 1 Completed August 2020 On time and On Budget
