@fear mongering – you’re an idiot. During rush hour the Burrard Street bridge is gridlock. Closing a lane will be disasterous.

Doesn’t anybody remember the trial they did a couple years ago. It was a joke. Enough said.

Ladner for Mayor – he’ll represent the Westside!

In all seriousness, the proposal to close a lane on the Burrard Street Bridge…for bikes…is completely and totally moronic.

I take the 22 everyday across the bridge, and the difference between rush and non-rush hours is NOT 30%.

The bridge can be scary to walk across though, the only idea that makes sense would be to put up a guardrail along the sidewalks to there is some separation between pedestrians and the fast flowing traffic.

An entire lane for bikes? Get serious.

Len is pushing the usual NPA spin. The Vision/COPE proposal allows for a full three lanes during rush hour, meaning there won’t be a traffic jam.

During rush hour periods, there is a 30% difference in traffic between rush and non-rush directions.

Besides, Peter’s plan will cost more than $33 million. completely unnecessary.

Since we all live in Kits, I’m going to assume that most of you all use the Burrard Bridget regularly. Although COPE and VISION parties seem to be more friendly towards many issues, they are planning on closing one lane of the bridge for cyclists.

This will not only effect those who commute, but will also add smog to our neighbourhood by clogging up traffic all day long on the bridge.

This Saturday, say no to VISION and COPE and VOTE for the NPA slate of candidates.

Any other vote is a vote for the special interests and causing unnecessary traffic gridlock in our city.
