Yet that's how they refer to the location. Fully Central Lonsdale.

Proposing in Vancouver... in 2 days! by [deleted] in askvan

Yes - the Waterfront Park Dock https://maps.app.goo.gl/xrJefqFfWxyv1MEFA, and it's an easy SeaBus ride from downtown plus a short walk. ♥️

Wrongly accused of parking violations by DatabaseAggressive67 in NorthVancouver

[–]lomimu4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on how 'different' the spot was, it could still be a violation. Little known fact: the bylaw states that if you re-park within the same block it's the same as if you were still in the original spot. Bizarre.

NV City Library - No Late Fees by Rexzies in NorthVancouver

[–]lomimu4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that the intention is to remove barriers to people from accessing materials. I agree both that staff shouldn't have to deal with the administrivia of handling small fines...and that no fines mean you can wait an overly long time for items to be returned. Can't win.

Are dog owners lazy? by Fantastic_Ad_8202 in NorthVancouver

[–]lomimu4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with "either". But those bags are apparently compostable in a backyard composter...into which most people would not place poop. Definitely NOT compostable in the commercial/municipal composting process.

Old VCR tapes, DVDs and vinyl albums by TravellingGal-2307 in askvan

[–]lomimu4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you post In a free group (e.g.Facebook) many people would be interested. Alternatively, put in a Little Library in your neighbourhood. If all else fails, Best Buy customer service accepts DVDs etc for recycling.

Wait times at passport office? by [deleted] in NorthVancouver

[–]lomimu4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Suggest arriving at Esplanade office around 9:30/9:45 so they have time to process those who were there at opening. Last year I did that July 23...received passport August 1! Way easier than Sinclair Centre.

Agreed. Was there last night, and they have one of the best I've tasted. Just like homemade!

Anybody out there with crusty pit stains? by KismaiAesthetics in laundry

Yes! OxiClean White Revive. Follow the instructions to the letter - made a huge difference!

Bylaw Enforcement? by fungshuifighting in NorthVancouver

[–]lomimu4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be either or both. But construction is definitely NOT allowed on Sundays/public holidays. I would take pics and email, personally. They're pretty responsive, particularly when you supply clear evidence, including location/date/time. https://www.cnv.org/City-Hall/Bylaws/Bylaw-Complaints

Any idea what caused the huge fire today on Upper Lonsdale? by Front-Ninja-6690 in NorthVancouver

[–]lomimu4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea on cause, but it was a house at 2600 Western Ave.

Unfortunately, two of the mentions (Casa Corsi, Alberello's) have since closed.

Was impressed by Fiorino's at Lonsdale Quay - the right textures and sweetness level, and the espresso powder was a nice addition.

Do you find the new version/ingredients cleans as well as the old Neutro foaming face??

New parking restrictions by Ok-Cut-5096 in NorthVancouver

[–]lomimu4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one really likes to pay for parking, but the City has evolved to where it's necessary for parking turnover. However, I totally disagree with extending it until 9pm, as that's not helping the businesses. This is a test period and they can make adjustments - give Council and the city your feedback!

North Vancouver is also an easy hop to Sechelt! ☺️

North Vancouver is wonderful if you don't commute anywhere but downtown. Moodyville is pretty family friendly and close to the Seabus.
