NSMBA seeks help with Business Case for Annual Trail Crew

NSMBA seeks help with Business Case for Annual Trail Crew

North Vancouver residents rate outdoor trails as their highest recreational priority, even above ice rinks, soccer fields and swimming pools. Why then is funding for the maintenance and construction of trails so hard to come by?

The NSMBA is preparing a business case for the annual funding of a trail crew for the North Shore, and we need your help!

Your role could be:

  • collecting and analyzing user data (trail counts, user surveys, literature review)
  • researching best practices (what models for funded trail maintenance already exist)
  • evaluating different options for the program (cost/benefit, risk identification/mitigation, stakeholder sensativity analysis)
  • technical writing

Anyone is welcome to assist. Volunteers with experience developing business cases, or a background in planning, finance or management would be an asset.

We will be reviewing the business case with municipal staff mid-August, and presenting to Council mid-September.

Annual funding for trails is a critical step in ensuring everyone will continue to have access to the trail network we all love. Please help spread the word to help us move together in the right direction.  Please respond to mathew@nsmba.ca

Norco Teams Up With The NSMBA

Norco Teams Up With The NSMBA

    With a generous donation from Norco, NSMBA builders Mark Wood and Matt Preston replaced the aged bridge on Cabin Trail.  The bridge goes over a swamp area and had seen better days!  This bridge see frequent traffic from multiple user groups including hikers, dog walkers, and of course mountain bikers.  

    Approximately 80 feet of woodwork was created using thick cedar slats, stringers and massive (up to 300 pound) sleepers.  The new bridge is a solid construction boasting thick slats with rock armour placed at both the entrance and the exit.  We estimate this bridge to last another 15-20 years.

    The NSMBA would like to thank Norco for their support of this project that improves the trail experience for many users.

 

Before.
