Create a separated bike lane along Kingsway
It is an incredibly direct route leading from Broadway corridor to Burnaby, but currently has far too many lanes of car traffic to feel good cycling along it.
The city’s new 10-year cycling program master plan will soon be in development, and hopefully completed within the next year. A big part of the work ahead is to identify where separated bike lanes might be appropriate.
Lessons learned from the downtown trial will be an important input into the plan. The results so far support evidence elsewhere that separated bike lanes are a great way to make cycling more attractive on busy streets.

I do not like cycling along major traffic routes. Too much pollution from tourist buses belching black smoke. Make them off on the side streets.

The Burnaby Committee of the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition is looking in the prospects of Kingsway as a new arterial cycling route. We hope to work with the Cities of Burnaby and Vancouver to help make Kingsway a complete street through the inclusion of cycling infrastructure.

No bloody way, unless you pay Bike License Fees, Tolls and Access Fees to use the bike lane lets Main St up Kingsway to Columbia Ave should be about $20.00 one way!
