City crews back-off installing bike lane signals pre-maturely
5/19/2010
"It was all a big mistake."
That's according to the City of Vancouver after crews started installing traffic signals for cyclists along Dunsmuir even before council made a decision on dedicated bike lanes for the route.
Assistant City Engineer of Transportation Jerry Dobrovolny says crews made an error by starting to install the cycling signals.
The work was stopped when the city received a call from the Executive Director of the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association Charles Gauthier who wasn't impressed.
"It confirms that decisions are made in advance you really can't change things," Gauthier said.
A public hearing was held last month but Dobrovolny insists no decisions have been made.
The issue goes to council on Thursday.
