I see this essentially as another pilot for closure and buses to permanently run on Howe and Seymour

That would be disastrous. Has anybody seen how snarled up traffic gets on Seymour especially in the evening? Making the bus permanently shuffle down that route will really bog it down. To make that work the city is going need to keep three of the four lanes open and wean themselves off the meter revenue.

And in a city that rains as much as Vancouver pedestrianizing Granville is totally unnecessary for more than half the year.
