I saw these installed on the Arbutus Greenway today. This doesn't look in any form wheelchair, stroller, one wheel, skate board or bike friendly to me at all.
Is there any practical reason to build those barriers to justify making life harder for above mentioned groups?
I'm at a complete loss for words. In a time where we should be making active modes of transport as easy, fast, convenient as possible they do this? I see there is a yield sign up ahead and I assume this is to stop cyclists from approaching too quickly but EVEN THEN why is it like 100m long and why are there six consecutive speedbumps when one at most would be more than enough to slow a cyclist down before the intersection?
Wild Unfounded Conjecture: A distracted NIMBY in a 3 tonne SUV almost flattened a cyclist and went to city hall meetings to complain about how dangerous cyclists are.
Given budgetary constraints, the fact there are 6 is how I know 5 wouldn't cut it.
