Cyclists
- Cycling paths on the west curb lane & east sidewalk are separated from traffic by concrete barriers
- Protected access exit lanes on the north side of the bridge
- Improved connections to other bike paths in the city…and more
The shared sidewalks were a potentially dangerous arrangement. By improving the bridge for cyclists, it will become safer and many may take up riding.
The southbound curb lane will be allocated to southbound cyclists only, and the lane will be protected from traffic by concrete barriers. To access the protected southbound lane, eastbound cyclists on Pacific will enter at Thurlow Street, and southbound cyclists will enter from Burrard, just after they cross Pacific.
The northbound sidewalk will also be for the exclusive use of cyclists and protected by concrete barriers. The easiest way for cyclists to access the east sidewalk is from the Burrard Street bike lane. Cyclists can also access the east sidewalk by using the crosswalk at Burrard and Cornwall.
All cyclists should familiarize themselves with the pedestrian and motorist routes.
