Agree with Tz99 while there’s heavy bike traffic on the bridge there is absolutely no need to close car lanes, that is idiocy, note that I too regularly commute downtown by bike.

As bike traffic grows the easiest solution would be to sling cages made of carbon fiber on the outside of the bridge as dedicated bike only lanes.

I haven’t been in Kits long enough to know how the last trial went, but I can’t see the logic behind an entire lane entirely for bikes.

I don’t understand the point of this. The ratio of car lanes to bike lanes is as good as it can get. (Assuming we can not add car lanes).

There are no bike-jams on the Burrard Bridge. I cross it twice a day during rush hour and if there were, I would notice.
