Canada Line bike bridge deck

I'm glad you found Oak Street bridge to be better. Personally I hate being stuck between two guard rails but Oak Street Bridge is definitely better in that regard than the 2nd Narrows bridge (which is VERY narrow). You just have to be really careful getting on it on the west side (although you could also go on the east side when going to Richmond).

Let us know how it works out!

It was really nice biking to work today. I went along Ontario until 59th and then west until Hudson. From there I went south all the way to 72nd, went up half a block to the pedestrian crossing to Oak street bridge. Once in Richmond, I just follow Garden City Road until Landsdown and zigzag my way to work. It was actually a nice ride. Took only 40 mins, which is actually faster then bus.

Oh! I found 59th avenue really quiet. It's probably a good route to head east/west in South Vancouver. The part I biked was newly pathed!! SMOOTH LIKE BUTTER!

And Oak Street bridge is actually wide enough for 2 bikes to pass each other. Yes, you'd have to squeeze a bit, but nothing too bad (unlike Knight).

Coming home, I took the east side of the bridge and did something Grog probably wouldn't approve: I biked along the sidewalk on Marine Drive (really slow) until Heather. Daniel mentioned that Kent would probably be not a good idea during rush hour since a lot of trucks and couriers use that back road to get back to the airport. Dunno. Maybe I'll try it on Thurs. But for now. I'm happy to say I really like the ride over and back.
