Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.

This Vienna street isn’t “closed” because cars have been removed. It has successfully been “opened” to everything else, to a diverse and invigorated civic life, because cars have been replaced by a multitude of wonderful things.

“They weren’t lazy about it –they didn’t just throw up barriers and ban cars. #Montreal

When it comes to achieving better cities for people, a BIG challenge is how little space we have for public life, given the space we’ve surrendered to cars. Barcelona’s “superblocks” show what we can fit if we took some space back. Video by Melissa & Chris Bruntlett
Peter Meiszner Brent Toderian mygastown Gastown might be underrated in many ways. People only think about the steam clock but so much more like amazing shops and cafés...not to mention historic architecture (not yaletown) and Waterfront Station!
Brent Toderian City of Vancouver City of Vancouver - Greenest City Thanks for the shout out. We’re looking forward to the brick repair to be complete, however in the meantime businesses are really needing the support. It’s a great time to go check out your favourite Gastown spot.
