Just emailed LSCR.

Pretty clear from the NSMBA AGM tonight that they’re not a part of the discussion as it relates to DNVs modifications to these trails. 

Dales to Forever After is amazing. Love it on a hardtail even more.

You mean Metro Van.

@Ddean Exactly. Dales/Forever is technical hard tail heaven. I'd be devastated if they smoothed that over.

Done. Is that what gets you on the distribution list for updates from Metro, or do you have to subscribe somewhere?

I read through the Strategic Plan..... most of the recommendations make sense, but I think a few are out of touch with how people are using the existing trails.

On the other hand, that area is becoming a maze. I've tried to run TNT from bottom to top a few times, and I always end up on random trails that take me to Cabin, Enquist, or even all the way up to the Seymour road. It's turning out to be a more challenging project than I thought it would be.

Its been a while since I’ve received any emails from the LSCR, but they do come.

F Metro. I've said it before and I'll say it again F Metro. Metro has stonewalled the NSMBA on many initiatives. 

Emails to Metro LSCR are likely funneled into a direct delete folder. Pressure needs to come from elected officials if we EVER expect any change in the LSCR.

One time, I emailed LSCR to complain about them shutting down an awesome but unsanctioned trail and I actually got a call back from their staff to discuss. So the emails do go somewhere.

I also emailed Metro, and DNV's Metro representative (Councilor Muri). I have a response from Councilor Muri, but don't expect to hear anything back from Metro Vancouver... Councilor Muri mentioned that the DNV is trying to set up a steering committee and develop an overarching trail plan, which does sound interesting.

Why do you think that’s happened?

Muri was responsible for getting Metro to rip out a small optional skinny that was rebuilt on Bridle Path a couple of years ago, Metro tore it out on a Sunday & it had just been finished the week before (feature was rebuilt with Metro permission). We did eventually get to rebuild it again, but it wasted many volunteer hours

What was her concern with the feature that got removed?
