...City of Vancouver transportation staff will be at the Pacific Centre Mall rotunda Wednesday to meet the public, provide information on the proposed Hornby St. separated bike lane and receive public input.
Under the proposed plan, a separated bike lane on Hornby Street would connect the existing Burrard Bridge and Dunsmuir Street separated bike lanes and also connect with the seawalls in Coal Harbour and off Beach Avenue on the English Bay end.
When considering which street to implement a north-south separated bike lane, City staff evaluated factors like safety, truck and transit use, existing bike routes and use, traffic flows as well as the presence of on-street parking and loading zones. Staff evaluated Burrard, Thurlow, and Hornby streets.
Hornby Street is the preferred option for a cross-town separated bike lane because:
* it already has a one-way bike lane;
* there is high bicycle and medium vehicle use of Hornby; and,
* it is not a transit or designated truck route.
