transportation

The days of not being able to easily locate a bus stop in the metro area will soon be gone as the new “T” way finding signs, first introduced along rapid transit stations, will soon be replacing the old narrow rectangular “bus stop” signs. These signs have already popped up in a few locations. North Vancouver will be the first municipality to see the old signs replaced.

Update: We have since learned that the new Kits Bike lane will be discussed at a later date. This week they’ll be discussing the 5 East Vancouver routes.

Looks like Vancouver may be getting another bike lane as council will more than likely pass a plan for new cycling paths and lanes for Vancouver. The plan calls for a new bike lane in Kitsilano and new cycling routes in East Vancouver. Not sure if the bike lane in Kits will be completely separated from cars like the  Hornby or just a painted separation. We’ll know more once plans are released.

Wave, the latest Rize Alliance development, looks to provide an interesting new living experience for first-time homeowners and young professionals.

As the weather warms up more and more cyclists will take over the streets of Vancouver. Some will use the bike lanes, others will ignore them and other road rules, but don’t expect any rule bending from our Mayor Gregor Robertson. The following is a video created for George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight which starts filming in Vancouver next week. Watch our cycling Mayor Gregor Robertson would say to those that would hurl insults at him. A little sense of humour shown by our mayor. 

Mayor Watts is at it again and before all you Surreyites get up in arms and put on your Ed Hardy glittery cap, don’t let the title fool you, I firmly believe that Surrey, Langley etc… deserve more transit options. I just don’t think it’s time for Rapid Transit Now (whether at grade, below grade or above grade). 

I’ve seen this happen far too often. A motorist simply getting even with cyclists who often neglect the rules perhaps? Gotta love Vancouver drivers.
