A plan by Vancouver’s ABC party to remove a temporary, pandemic-era bike lane from Stanley Park over the winter and install a permanent replacement by spring is hitting a snag.
A staff memo with preliminary estimates on the cost and a timeline for how long it will take to remove the temporary bike lane makes Tom Digby, the only Green party park board commissioner, think it could take much longer, even years, before a new bike lane could be in place.
“It should be noted that, irrespective of the procurement and construction timeline, permanent line painting cannot be done in wet weather or colder temperatures, and while it is the last piece of work in the construction sequencing, it is typically not possible until April at the earliest,” wrote Donnie Rosa, the park board’s general manager.
“We might be able to save some money by preserving parts of the interior bike lanes that are not causing a problem for anyone. For example, the segment going up the hill to Prospect Point. There’s never been a traffic jam there and the horse and carriage don’t go there.”
