Ready to say goodbye to the right turns while driving along Hornby Street?

First it was the Burrard Bridge, then  Dunsmuir Street now is the time for Hornby Street and it looks like there could be another separated bike lane on the way for Comox Street.

 

What are separated bike lanes?

Separated bike lanes are routes where cyclist are physically separated from traffic by a barrier. The lanes create more protection and make cyclists feel safer – especially less experienced riders – and encourage more people to get out of their cars and onto bikes into downtown Vancouver.

 

Why Hornby Street?

Hornby Street offers the best option, including having a safe route that isn’t a major bus or truck route, among other factors.
