Not sure where to put this one so I posted it here. Did another video shoot on Bowen Island. Shots of Horseshoe Bay from Cates Hill, the ride over plus some footage from the lot.

I was under the impression Horseshoe Bay had to undergo massive capital upgrading, including replacement of the upper vehicle platform. This was in a capital presentation some years ago. Is that still the case?

For a while, it looked like Coastal Renaissance was going to use berth 1a, at Horseshoe Bay. - 6:20am sailing on July 7, 2014 ----------- (video to follow, soon)

An unusual approach to berth #1 at Horseshoe Bay - experienced by me on Coastal Renaissance, on her 6:20am sailing on July 7, 2014. I was filming at the bow of the upper vehicle deck.
This video upload shows the docking approach at 3 speeds: 5x, 10x, and real time.
At no point did I notice any concern by the deckhands who were near me on the upper car-deck, and there were no special announcements. My conclusion is that we slowed down ok, but the path was off-center from our target berth.
It looks to me like we were off-center starting at the beginning of our approach, and we were not able to correct until we were stopped next to the berth.

This was probably taken not long after the freeway opened.

Horseshoe Bay, taken in the early 1970s. There is no Upper Levels Highway yet. The Upper Levels was opened in the late 1950s. Where are the photos from? It's customary on this forum to identify one's sources.

It's from the government. My university library has a collection of these aerial photos in the maps section. I don't think it gets used too often. I scanned these from it.

Hey Gee Whiz:
To save us some pointless back-and-forth, please explain what you are calling the "Upper Levels Highway".
I've got a hunch that you're calling the Olympics bypass highway "Upper Levels."
...but "Upper Levels Highway" is the road from Taylor Way area to Horseshoe Bay terminal, built (as Neil said) in the 1950s.
...and welcome here.

Then why do the overpasses on the Upper Levels Highway look like they were built in the 70s? I know a 70s-era overpass when I see one. (yup, I'm a roadgeek) And yes, I am talking about the Hwy 1/99 portion that you drive on to get to the Horseshoe Bay terminal. You're definitely right, though, that the original Upper Levels Highway was built in the 50s, but not as a freeway like it is now.

You're definitely right, though, that the original Upper Levels Highway was built in the 50s, but not as a freeway like it is now. Yes, the Upper Levels Highway became a freeway during the 1970's. In some places the road was on a new alignment, away from the original two-lane highway alignment built in the 1950's. The Upper Levels is the name for the highway from North Van through to Horseshoe Bay. I am not certain if Hwy 1 through the city/ district of North Van is considered to be part of the Upper Levels or if it is only the section of the highway in West Vancouver which is both Hwy 1 & Hwy 99. This route has nothing but 'interchanges' today, but it was not that long ago that the last traffic light intersections were eliminated (Lonsdale & Westview).

Horseshoe Bay, taken in the early 1970s. There is no freeway yet. This almost looks to be a rare capture of the Howe Sound Queen in her original configuration... Thanks for scanning and posting these!
