I agree.
A good example is heather st.
There's technically a bike path coming from the Cambie bridge, connecting even the olympic village skytrain station, going up on ash st, continuing on west 7th and then going up again on heather.
But then it basically stops on broadway. There are no signs, not even a basic line painted on the street. But technically you just go up and connect to 10th.
But the whole thing is so messy for no reason.
Heather has parking on the bike line side from 7th to 8th (therefore not even a proper delimited lane) BUT then has no parking (and a dedicated painted lane) from 8th to Broadway. Then still no parking but also no lane from Broadway to 10.
Why?
That could be a proper bike path, you literally just need 1 straight line going up until 10th. You don't even need to change anything (beside taking out the few parking spots between 7 and 8).
If they wanted to make it fancy, there would even be the space to actually build a proper infrastructure.
