Talk about the old M-line signage as placeholder in the consultation renders, imagine if they used the old Millennium Line design like they did in 2000? Here's my depiction of what it would've looked like on the Oak-VGH station board.

Millennium Line: Quadranscentennial Extension.

That looks awesome!
Except the date should have been about 2005 (if both Phase II extensions had proceeded at the time).

Hey bruh, I heard you like consultations, so we did consultations on the consultations, so you can consult while you consult.

Hold off on that, we need to get the results of the survey on consultation styles analyzed first, so that the consultation committees can generate reports on all possible permutations of the design of the consultation sessions.

...that is only after our regulatory body initializes a 3-phase review of the data

Speaking of which, they've started demoing at Cambie. About half that old building is gone.

That's dumb that they didn't even try to incorporate the cycle track into the entry plaza landscaping. It looks like it just disappears into a jumbled free-for-all concrete sidewalk, with a shared crosswalk, and then continues on the other side of the street. I hope that was just not part of this level of rendering and site planning, but it's going to be a glaring failure if it makes it through to the final design. I don't live in Vancouver any more, so my input doesn't carry weight in public consultation (when they ask for your postal code), so I hope some locals can gather up torches and pitchforks and get that fixed.

The main cycle track now goes straight through eastbound from the intersection of 1st and Thornton Street, heading through the middle of the Emily Carr site. I believe that routing will be maintained when the station is built. It will take it north of the station house. There's still a branch that goes to Brunswick Street, but this isn't used very much compared to the northern branch that goes to Olympic Village and False Creek.

Having a painted cycle track right in front of the station entrance hasn't worked out very well at Olympic Village station. The city really should have rebuilt the ramp to go behind the station.

Yeah I'm surprised this hasn't led to more "interactions" between cyclists and pedestrians/transit users. I think mostly because that lane isn't well used, it ends just West of the parking lot.

The GNW bike lanes are much busier.

You can probably blame the Boomers in Spandex for that - "cycling shouldn't be hidden" and all that —. Ah well, it can always be repaved eventually.

I am confused. Why should cycling be 'hidden'?

Migrant_Coconut · #**259** Posted **Apr 30, 2021, 9:25 PM**

See, the conversation above is about how it'd be easier for everybody if the bike lane was behind OV Station. I'm guessing a certain vocal minority would then accuse City Hall of "hiding" cyclists away from the street when they should be "visible" and "integrated," hence the existing clustershag at the entrance.

Ask any cyclist that isn't a ride-or-die road biker whether they prefer bike lanes next to a major artery or on-street biking on a side street.
