As long as they don't leave them on the boulevard like a mouldy old chesterfield that nobody wants.

"Users will now have to bring their bike to within 10 meters of the icon..."

 

Still plenty of wiggle room to leave them in the way.

Cuts down on collection fees and quietly allows them to scale back operations.

And hopefully reduces the number of abandoned green bikes stuck in the hedge in front of my property that I then have to toss into the street.

[Midnightly]

and let me guess.. these spaces will be in former parking spots since the sidewalks are not big enough to handle dozens of bikes blocking them

[A Girl is No one]

I don’t see nearly as many of those green bikes now as I did a month or two ago. They used to be everywhere.

You mean, another set of bike lanes.

I wonder if the asphalt bike lane (adjacent to the sidewalk) that was created along parts of Vancouver Street in the past will be torn out to build the 2019 version or will it remain as an homage to the historical bike plan?

A lot of trees could be in jeopardy on this route.

Far better to have the bike lanes on Vancouver than on Cook.

There is more room for the lanes, not as much traffic, and it will be only one block from the Cook Street Village.

So much more room for this, look at the space between the kerb and the trees

...look at the space between the kerb and the trees

Not much space between the curb and trees north of Yates Street (see my photo above).

A lot of Victorians will be very pleased about the prospect of cutting down more trees.

 

But for the life of me I just can't figure out why they're always so pleased about it.

Because you can chop it up and burn it near your tent!

An article in Car and Driver indicates that Seattle is now removing bike lanes and even sidewalks saying it is safer for all involved and motorists use more caution when sharing the same roadway.

The city could save some money on the part north of Yates Street by allowing tenting on the boulevards until all those pesky trees are gone.

I noticed yesterday the CRD was installing a sign on the Lochside trail (next to Willow street and Lochside drive) detailing what is and isn't allowed for electric bikes on CRD trails. Seems to rule out most of the electric bikes I have seen around.

"Motor Assisted Cycles PERMITTED
Motor Assisted Cycles Must:
• Meet the definition in the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act
• Have an electric motor of 500 watts or less
• Have attached and functioning pedals
• Not travel faster than 32 km/h without pedaling

Limited Speed Motorcycles - NOT PERMITTED
Limited Speed Motorcycles:
• Have gas-powered or electric motors of more than 500 watts
• Do not have attached and functioning pedals
• Travel at speeds greater than 32 km/h without pedaling"

Perhaps I'm a little slow, but why do you even need a bike lane on Vancouver street?  It's a pretty quiet road, car-wise..

 

Save the money for something useful, like removing offensive statues, or the new Sir John A. MacDonald Memorial Pool..
