If drivers don't obey speed limit signs, why do you expect peds to obey signs banning them from a bridge?
And finally, it seems ridiculous to suggest banning bikes or peds from Burrard when no one is suggesting banning cars from Burrard just reallocating lanes of traffic. Drivers will still have access to the bridge. There still will be 18 or 19 lanes across False Creek to choose from. For 22 hours a day, drivers won't notice much difference at all beyond a greater likelihood that other drivers will be more likely to obey the speed limit making the bridge safer for everyone.

I'm not even going to continue this conversation, you've proven that you can't be civil to anyone in this thread.
