Meanwhile, Maple Ridge held an open house on May 22 to get input on an update of its transportation plan, which dates back to 2003.

Pitt Meadows Transportation Plan

Pitt Meadows is presently developing a Transportation Master Plan, which builds on the Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan finalized in 2012. The Transportation Master Plan will provide direction on how the City can achieve better transportation facilities today and over the next thirty years for all modes of transportation, including roads, transit, walking and cycling.

Please give your input and fill out this survey by Monday, June 10.

Maple Ridge Transportation Plan/give your input Sept 8!

If you haven't filled out the District's on-line survey yet, there will be another opportunity to give your input for Maple Ridge's Transportation Plan Update and talk to transportation planners, at the Haney Farmer's Market at Memorial Peace Park, on Sat. Sept. 8, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Maple Ridge Transportation Issues & Opportunities Survey

Do you feel that it's not safe for your kids to bike to school? Does it make you feel nervous if grandma is biking to the store? Is there too much speeding on our roads? Here is an opportunity for everyone who likes to bike - or who would like to see improved safety and a healthier commute to school for their little ones - to have some input in the Maple Ridge Transportation Plan by filling out this on-line survey.

Survey Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan Pitt Meadows/Pitt Meadows Day

The City of Pitt Meadows is in the process of developing a Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan and wants your input. Please go to the City of Pitt Meadows' website, where you will find a link to a survey.

If you're planning to attend Pitt Meadows Day on June 2, Urban Systems will have a booth (I believe together with the HUB/BAC booth/bike parking near or at the baseball diamond) where you can get more information on the Plan and hard copies of the survey will be available as well.

Bike parking will be available at Pitt Meadows Day from 11:00 a.m. till 4:30 p.m. I'm not sure what the hours are for the Urban Systems booth.
