Statement from the Park Board Chair on the Hadden and Kitsilano Beach Path

Park Board Chair Niki Sharma issued the following statement this evening regarding the proposed path in Hadden and Kitsilano Beach parks, and the related lawsuit.

“We’ve heard clearly from the public that there is significant concern with any proposed changes to Hadden Park.  Tonight, the Park Board gave direction to staff to discontinue proceeding with any options for a new path through Hadden Park, and to communicate that to the petitioner in the B.C. Supreme Court application.  The Park Board will not be pursuing a new separated path through Hadden Park or at Kits Beach.

“The Park Board will continue to demonstrate a strong commitment to improving the safety and enjoyment for both cyclists and pedestrians. The Board directed staff to explore ways to improve safety on the existing route through Hadden and Kitsilano Beach Park.  Staff will also be relocating the funds from this project to other pedestrian and cycling safety priorities for the Park Board around the city.”
