Stanley Park mobility study is out. Removal of bike lane resulted in: way more speeding, no extra parking revenue (so much for the argument that the lane was removing parking access), fewer people cycling, more crowding on the seawall.
Surprising NO ONE (1/3)
ALT An update from the park board on the removal of the Stanley Park bike lane. No change in parking revenue, people speeding rose from 11% to 50%, community feedback was mixed, cycling numbers went down and seawall crowding increased.

Last week I got the chance to visit the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch in modern day America. Come with me as I explore @culdesac — a 17-acre oasis of walkable living in the otherwise sprawling, car-dependent metropolis of Phoenix. 🧵
Bravo to our @TheBicycleValet team! 🚲

Just a quick shoutout to @BESTmobility for delivering efficiency at an absolutely slammed Bike Valet service at car-free day on Main yesterday. Even as we headed home in the early evening, folks wanting to park their bikes could only get a spot once we left with ours.
Thank you to our patrons for their ongoing support, we are always looking for ways to improve our services!
The Bike Valet™ is proud to announce our new partnership with Optimum Security, who will bring industry-leading expertise to help ensure the safety and security of our patrons, staff, and bikes.

The people love the Steveston bike valet!
Leave the car at home and park your bike, e-bike, or e-scooter securely for free in the cannery parking lot on weekends and holidays from 10-6 until Labour Day!
Thanks to @StevestonHA, @TransLink, @VisitRichmondBC, & @BESTmobility – at Richmond, British Columbia
