Personally I want the next council to remove these "trial" bike lanes as quickly as possible. That is my number one priority, and may other peoples. Too bad not enough people care or even know about the city elections except for the "nimby" types.

Waiting at least 2 lights in a stretch of 11 intersections with lights (to Burrard) and 17 with lights to Stanley Park does not sound bad to me. That actually sounds really good!!
There is no way that the wait at each light is 3 or so minutes. I can't buy that. 90 seconds yes but not 3 minutes. Maybe because of the traffic it sometimes takes 3 minutes to get through a light but I could not see that happening at an off peak time.
