Anyone else think Vancouver is a car-heavy city?

[Metro-One]

Hamilton and Mainland Streets and Granville street. Again, all perfect to become Vancouver's pedestrian malls.

But Robson works well with traffic, keeps it having a busy vibe, not to mention its importance of a bus route.

Vancouver also has many alleys it seems to do little with. In Japan, these alleys are the pedestrian streets, with vendors, fun hole in the wall shops and canopies for when it rains! Not full of garbage and crack addicts.
