:/

dumbest shit ever

next big story will be car vs bike on burrard bridge, car wins

yeah this is some stupid shit
I don't want to hear people bitch about a person being killed riding a bike on that bridge now, cuz they were asking for the extra lane on that bridge

what afucking joke

honestly burrard bridge south doesnt need 3 lanes anyways, it's never congested, only the ends are

obviously you dont work downtown.

we lost 2 lanes last time for some marathon. i wont be complaining

I give it 2 weeks before some cyclist gets run over because they think they own the road.

next we'll loss another lane for birds flying at ground level

Which one of you retards voted for Gregor Robertson? :lol

and the whole vision/cope parties.

Lets protest to get a wheelchair accessible lane as well. There has been a growing trend of wheelchair users and I believe we need to let our wheelchair operators have a designated lane for their safe mobility around the streets of Vancouver.

dont stop there; motorcycles should get their own lane as well.

uh...that was 1 day, and on a weekend

you won't say that when you take the bridge twice a day 5 times a week during rush hour

too bad it's not feasible to do a counter-critical-mass, not to mention it'd be illegal for the drivers :(

not surprising... no sympathy for bikers on a car forum

my concern is, come winter time, there won't be many bikers and it'll be a huge waste

this is awesome from a comedic perspective.

i like how the government tends to provide "solutions" by creating more problems

and man we gotta spend an extra 1.5mil for this? great.

Glad I never take that bridge, maybe every biker should get a complimentary bottle of water as they cross the bridge too

Next thing on the news, is going to be car hit biker lane. LOL

one lane, for car
one lane, for wheelchair
one lane, for bikes
one lane, for truck
one lane, for motorcycle
one lane, for.....geese walking+flying

etcs

yea motorcycles should be able to take the cyclist lane ;)

So this will start in June eh...oh wait a second, it conveniently starts during bike month.:rolleyes:

I'd say it's a good way to convert some of the lazy downtown commuters to cyclists.

Should be interesting to see how this works.

I'm wondering if more people will bike across the bridge now... only time will tell if this is successful or not.

Wait, didn't we try this a few years back and it failed almost immediately?
