City of North Vancouver Launches Project to Reimagine Central Lonsdale

January 10, 2025

Beginning today, the City of North Vancouver invites residents, businesses, and visitors to help shape the future of Central Lonsdale through the Lonsdale Great Street Project. This initiative seeks to build on the strengths of Central Lonsdale as a dynamic and vibrant hub where residents and visitors can live, work, dine, shop, and gather. 

"There are many reasons to love Central Lonsdale already," said City of North Vancouver Mayor Linda Buchanan. "But soon there will be even more with a vision to revitalize this neighbourhood. The Lonsdale Great Street Project is our opportunity to reimagine Central Lonsdale as a more vibrant, inclusive, and people-focused place by fostering connection, enhancing livability, and creating the optimal environment for new and existing businesses. We want to hear from residents, business owners, workers, and visitors to ensure this transformation reflects the needs and aspirations of everyone. This is an exciting time and together, we can create a destination that strengthens our city for generations to come."
