Bike bridge story:another language

[shootingstar]

Approx. 250 people max. After all, it was on a workday, Friday. I agree..they had better put some some signage at both ends of bike-pedestrian bridge across the river to guide people. Part of the difference, is Translink was responsible (with the private company that will run and maintain) just for the bike bridge deck itself but the bike route markings/paving path approaches on each end of the bridge, is the responsibility of each municipality. So there needs to be fine-tuning, completion of on road bike lane approaches by City of Vancouver (north end) and City of Richmond (south end).

Next 4 months will be interesting to see how traffic patterns in all modes might change along certain streets/routes. But as anyone knows, real change to people's regular choices of transportation modes, happens over several years.

A handful of long-term cycling volunteer advocates did come from afar..Maple Ridge, Victoria (from Vancouver Island), etc. came to this event.
