I took a stroll yesterday in my neighbourhood #westendvancouver

Vancouver's Park Board is voting tomorrow night on a motion to immediately remove the separated bike lane from Stanley Park Drive. This is a really terrible idea for so many reasons, including the budget pressure already being felt by ABC in trying to fund its election promises. The fiscally responsible choice would be to leave the lane in place until a redesign is both ready to implement and fully funded.
It is also quite extraordinary that the removal of the lane will take place during the two weeks the Stanley Park sea wall is closed for annual routine cliff-stabilisation works, which commence tomorrow.
Please email [email protected] today and tell the Commissioners that you oppose this motion and a sentence or two about what safe cycling on Stanley Park Drive means to you.
Please also come to the Park Board on Beach Avenue at the entrance to Stanley Park tomorrow night. Cyclists will be gathering outside the Park Board Offices during tomorrow night's meeting, which starts at 6.30 pm, to demonstrate our opposition to the motion. The forecast is clear and cold so dress up warmly.
