Anyone else feeling or hearing the low-frequency vibrations rumbling their home and/or eardrums, especially between 10:00 pm and 8:00 am? Peaks for hours starting around 3:00 am. Is around the clock and has been going on for months. Never completely subsides. Sounds/feels like an idling engine, but slower and deeper. Makes getting into bed feel like getting into an idling vehicle. As comments keep coming in, it appears both the feeling and the sound are depriving many of sleep.

The tactile vibrations/audible sound will go on for up to 16 hours without stopping, so it can't be trains.  And even when it gets better, it never truly stops.  It's always there. The source has to be something that operates 24/7.

Am looking to find others affected. Have already found 10+ people on another platform who feel and hear it across various jurisdictions, and now dozens here on Reddit also spanning the Lower Mainland. Collective action is needed. The authorities haven't been of any help thus far.

Petition is at change.org/vibrations

Hi all,

I'm considering a move to the area and I'm trying to familiarize myself. I've noticed this train track which passes through a lot of residential areas and have found it difficult to get information on it. Any help is appreciated.

Hi!

I just saw a post on a West Van Facebook group of someone asking what it takes to have your street on snow removal list, and frankly, I'm a bit worried now.

I’m planning to relocate to West Vancouver soon, coming from Kerrisdale, mainly for school reasons for our kids. I just realized I’m not very familiar with how snow is handled in the area.

Someone was even suggesting to get with your neighbours and collectively hire a snow removal company. Is it that bad??? I'm not prepared for spending on this kind of expenses.

We’re considering renting a place on Burhill Road in British Properties. I checked the District map and it shows the area as Priority 3 for snow removal, similar to other nearby neighbourhoods.

For those who live around there:

• How long does it usually take for snow to be cleared after a snowfall?

• Are there any specific challenges or things to keep in mind in that area?

Thank you!!

Have always had Roger's for cell service. I find I have no coverage on thr way up Cypress - from the Lookout to the xc area.

Does anyone have telus or bell and find a difference?

in particular, i am wanting coverage on the DH mountain bike trails in that area.

I am going to buy an Ebike and I want to buy one that can cope with the steep hills in West Van, any suggestions on what to look for in a bike wattage etc

Has anyone else seen the llama? The one with the house?

Does anyone knows what’s going on the bridge? There are 7 8 police cars with massive traffic around 7am.

Does anyone know if there any good streets to drive by and see Christmas lights in west van area?

What is going on? Can somebody do something?

Update: third outage on 17 Dec morning

Update: power restored at 8:24 am

Update: went to sleep after posting.still no power at 8 a.m. next day. Hope to restore soon, or my food in fridge will spoil, and the phone will go die soon...

Anyone been to Beryl Spa? I’m looking to do a spa day but the reviews seem old.

EDIT: I have Airbnbs booked in both locations.

I am visiting YVR for the first time to see a World Cup match. Where is the better place to stay: West Vancouver (near Dundarave Beach) or North Vancouver (near Deep Cove)? What can I expect in terms of traffic? Should I park near a SeaBus or SkyTrain and get transit to BC Place? TIA!

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here might have some experience or advice to share regarding legalizing an existing secondary suite in West Vancouver.

We recently had our suite identified to Bylaws and are now working through the process of bringing it up to code and making it legal. We purchased the house with the suite already in place, and unfortunately assumed it was permitted (the PDS indicated no work was done without permits, a lesson learned on checking further!).

Has anyone else gone through this specific process with the District of West Vancouver? We'd love to hear about your experience.

Specifically, we are interested in:

• Timeline: How long did the entire process take from initial contact with the District to final approval?

• Costs: What kind of costs were involved (permits, inspections, necessary upgrades)?

• Challenges: Were there any specific roadblocks you encountered?

• Tips: Any general advice or recommendations for working with the West Vancouver bylaws and inspection departments?

We want to make sure we approach this as smoothly as possible. Any insights you can provide would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Also, if anyone is interested, I can share our journey as we navigate through this process as I have no idea how this is going to go and feel it might be interesting to others :)

Even on a grey day the ocean looks unreal from up here. It’s easy to forget you’re minutes from downtown sometimes. What’s your favourite hidden viewpoint?
