Metro Vancouver Bike/Pedestrian Discussion

[West22]

I'm curious to know what causes you such distress. The Cambie bridge has MUCH more capacity than the lanes on each side, so removing a lane will have very little impact on vehicle traffic. Meanwhile, the cycle lane removes detours, reduces conflicts between bikes and pedestrians, and makes cycling a better option for many people.

Since we can no longer build more vehicle lanes in the city, the key to reducing congestion is to give more people the chance to move within the city without taking up a vehicle lane. Every cyclist reduces congestion.

Deliberately antagonistic transport plans like these only make this place a less happy place to live.
