How bike lanes have affected Vancouver's urban infrastructure
On July 13, 2009, the City of Vancouver approved a permanent bicycle lane on the south side of the Burrard Street Bridge. In the months leading up to that decision, there was strong opposition from community members and leaders, and there was a lingering memory of the city's even earlier attempt at a bike lane on the bridge in 1996. Now, the Burrard Bridge bike lane is one of the busiest in Metro Vancouver. Navdeep Chhina, the director of campaigns and inclusion at HUB Cycling, joined CBC News to talk about the impact of bike lanes on urban infrastructure.
