Concerns
- Current vehicle access from Cornwall to Chestnut is too dangerous
- Cyclists coming off Burrard Bridge have momentum
- There is no stop sign for cyclists
- Vehicles crossing the bike lane must yield to cyclists but cyclists are most often in the motorist’s blind spot
- Large vehicles towing boats are unsafe on a bike street
- Cyclist/vehicle accidents have occurred
Possible Solutions
- Revert to realignment proposed by the COV in 2013
- No vehicle traffic between Cornwall and first laneway
- Two-way road-level bike lane on the east side of Chestnut
- Make Chestnut south of Greer one-way with no parking
- Buffer cyclists from traffic with a concrete median leaving the two access gaps to 1450 Tower (if this is considered too expensive now, during budget constraint, start with green paint)
