While the country was in the midst of a wildfire crisis, the Vancouver mayor’s ABC Party sent out a congratulatory tweet about the removal of a bike lane from Stanley Park
@Springtime Yeah it’s pretty astonishing to me that this is being spun as a big positive.
I’m imagining rich tourists in their cars, driving the perimeter road and looking at the park through their car windows instead of people riding their bikes. It’s stupid. This shouldn’t be celebrated
Yes, it makes me worry about future expansions of bike lanes.
Over the last decade or so the city has expanded a network of new bike lanes, making biking saver and more attractive. I’m wondering, if this roll-back and the celebration of it shoes a new trend away from new bikelanes.
It’s an absolute shame they’re removing the bike lane in Stanley Park. Such an unnecessary move.
