On Tuesday night, Vancouver city councillors voted on implementing a separated Bike lane on Hornby street, it will run right through the core of the city, connecting the two other separated bike lanes, and the sea walls on either end of downtown. This decision will affect how people move around in the inner city, where cars are becoming increasingly more inconvenient and transit, walking and cycling are seeming more enjoyable and practical.
In celebration the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition is selling shirts with "Separated Bike Lanes Make Me Hornby" on them, you can find them on their website www.vacc.bc.ca
For my own celebration, I will finally ride my bike downtown, a place that I found too busy and scary to go there on two wheels before. Thank you Vancouver.
