Hornby street bike lanes not popular with local residents
Local papers contradict Vision propaganda that separated bike lanes are accepted in Vancouver.
Vancouver Courier writes that more than five in ten Vancouverites want bike lanes out of Hornby Street and only one in four supports the trial.
It is not surprising considering an increase in accidents on Burrard and Pacific after bicycle lanes were installed there.

Busted: Four Vision Councillors Ignore Traffic Laws
Each day commuters can observe a full complement of common traffic violations by cyclists. What you may not know is that the local media has reported that at least four Vision Councillors are among the cyclists that have ignored or willfully disregarded these traffic regulations.
The offenders start right at the top with Vision Mayor Robertson. The mayor is reported to have ignored a red light and was lucky to escape an injury thanks to an experienced transit driver. While Mayor Robertson was reported to be “reluctant to admit wrongdoing”. The Province reported that the Mayor receive “a full 10 on a one-to-10 scale of dumb things cyclists do”.
Manufacturing Congestion - removing road and sidewalk space
Incompetence of the Vancouver City Hall is on display at the Eastbound exit to the Pacific St. on the North end of the Burrard Bridge. There you will find a lane of traffic and a sidewalk taken away between the exit ramp and the Hornby St. to accommodate a bike lane.
Best Bus
Translink puts forward a plan that is sensitive to taxpayers' concerns that expensive, new train infrastructure may not be the best at serving our transportation needs and it is worth to examine how our existing bus lines can be utilized more efficiently.
Among the obvious solutions to help transit buses negotiate city traffic is to ban bicycles from bus routes.
At the same time the City should expand the network of bicycle routes on residential streets.
Currently a single cyclist moving slower than 15 km/h is slowing down more than 50 commuters on a bus capable of traveling three times faster.
