Burrard Bridge Trial Open House - Saturday

Hi

Please come out and show your support for the Burrard Bridge Trial at the
City of Vancouver's open house. After 15 years it is time to settle the
debate once and for all. The trial is the only way to do that. We need to
make Burrard Bridge safer to walk and cycle over now.

A two lane trial is needed so there can be a barrier between cyclists and
the high speed traffic on the bridge and so faster cyclists can past slower
cyclists on the long uphill sections. It will be a bridge that everyone
from eight to eighty will love cycling over. A one lane trial would only
have a narrow bike lane that would not be separated from traffic and would
not have passing space. It would likely be worse than riding on the
sidewalk and not attract new cyclists.

With the bike lanes between the sidewalk and the traffic and no bikes to
worry about, Burrard Bridge will be a joy to walk over and enjoy the great
view.
