District of West Vancouver staff is preparing to begin construction on phase 1 of the Spirit Trail stretching behind Park Royal Shopping Centre this fall.
According to a report by director of engineering and transport Raymond Fung, construction of the section reaching through Ambleside Park from Pound Road to 13th street should begin in the next few weeks.
Fung said staff is only waiting on final approval from Park Royal Shopping Centre and the Squamish Nation, expected to come through next week.
Fung also encouraged council to create a working group to help staff create a plan for the Spirit Trail's westward expansion.
"We recommend that a Spirit Trail consultation working group be established to assist staff in developing a process to work with residents as the project proceeds from conceptual design down through detailed design in specific neighbourhoods," Fung said.
The Spirit Trail is a bike and walking path intended to span the North Shore from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver to Deep Cove in North Vancouver.
