Arbutus Greenway – Provisional Progress

Just north of Broadway, the temporary Greenway surfaces are coming into shape. All the better to encourage many types of user, and so to improve breadth of commentary during the final design consultations.
A huge heap of bark mulch (for walking) awaits spreading on 2 m of the eastern side of the Greenway. Meanwhile, on the west, the asphalt now has demarcations:  1.5 m for walking, 2.5 m for cycling (see plan below).

  1. The demarcation lines (walking and cycling) are only posted as to which side of the path to use for which mode at a few intersections. Some users see the signs, and follow them. Others don’t, and follow the “keep right” rule. The result is a real mixed bag.
    The sooner the stencils get applied to the pavement, the better, IMO, for the safety and comfort of all users.
