This week at Harbourside: week ending February 1

A weekly summary of what’s happening in the Harbourside planning process.

Meetings with ACDI
In December 2012 Concert made a group presentation to five City of North Vancouver advisory bodies. After having met individually with four of the five advisory bodies in January, the team met with the Advisory Committee on Disability Issues (ACDI) this Thursday. Their presentation outlined the specifics of Concert’s vision for universal accessibility within Harbourside which entails the inclusion of adaptable homes for persons with disabilities (25% minimum). The team also addressed inquires regarding beach access, underground and at-grade parking, and how navigation along Harbourside Drive would be impacted for persons with disabilities given sea level rise mitigation strategies. The ACDI has recommended their comments be referred to their sub-committee which specializes in real estate development.
