For speeds, 60 is reasonable, 50 is not. I don't really subscribe to the "must be slow for bikes" argument. That's silly because pedestrians are more vulnerable than bikes so should speed limits be reduced to 30 kph? Maybe we should just even everything out and make everything including bikes restricted to 5 kph.

It's just silly. I still think 60 kph is reasonable though given the area.

As for the diagrams, I'll put my vote behind Option A Upstream Surrey side and a toss up between Option B Upstream and Option D. I don't like A at all because the on ramps south backwards since technically trucks would be merging at the top (north end) and cars coming from Royal Ave would need to cross the truck lane to get to traffic lanes. The only thing I do like about Option A is that it sweeps traffic up to Royal Ave where B does not. D doesn't either though.

Given how New West is though I'd say they would go with B since it keeps traffic on Columbia and within their pave the city with cobblestone and replace all cars with horse-drawn buggies directive.

I won't give C any attention it just looks messy.
