Neat. I will take this bike path since I’m a cyclist in Vancouver. I found another bridge retrofit in NC that had been refurbised about 8 years ago for cyclists as well. This is neat as well for all cyclist – see http://www.maadigroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Bridge-Widening_MAADI3_V3_EN.pdf

Greetings from New Zealand, where we are working hard to get a walking and cycling path on the Auckland Harbour Bridge, similar to what you’ve got here.

Can you someone help with the following questions regarding the Canada Line – Pedestrian / Bicycle bridge…

1) What’s the width of the path?

2) What’s the maximum gradient on the path?

3) How are collisions avoided, eg: between downhill cyclists and pedestrians? Is the sign: “Bump 25 metres ahead” referring to a deliberate speed bump to slow cyclists down? (See video at 54 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i49nxEE4Res )

Would greatly appreciate your feedback. Thanks so much… Bevan

Michael:

I sent your comments on to our planning dept at TransLink (they handle cycling) and here’s some info that might help.

Basically, the Canada Line bike bridge and its connections will appear on the new editions of the City of Vancouver’s cycling map, the City of Richmond’s cycling map and TransLink’s regional cycling map. (TransLink’s regional map is due out this month, pending approvals from our municipal partners.)

Unfortunately, putting a together a map for short-term distribution has some challenges. For example, staffing for cycling programs is currently low in both the municipalities and at TransLink, leaving fewer resources to put those maps together, especially when the regional update is coming out soon.

Anyway, the regional updated map will be here soon enough, which will provide a clear outline of the connections to the bike bridge.

Thanks for coping in the meantime though!
