A bicycle ride in the Stanley Park protected bike lane in Vancouver, BC (May 2022). At the time of filming, highlights included a one-way protected bike lane (concrete barriers and pylons), traffic calming, raised crosswalks, bike share stations, and connections to other parts of the City of Vancouver's AAA cycling network.
Although this video is a shortened version of the full ride, when the Stanley Park protected bike lane was in place it provided safe access to landmarks including the Nine O'Clock Gun, the Brockton Point Lighthouse, Prospect Point Viewpoint and the Hollow Tree.
This protected bike lane could also be accessed from the Beach Avenue protected bike lane, the Seawall and traffic calmed streets including Haro Street, Comox Street, Chilco Street and Park Lane.
For reference, in 2020 a portion of the road within Stanley Park was converted into a temporary bike lane. The right lane was converted to a bike lane, and the left lane remained available to cars. At the time, this was driven by a need for physical distancing. The Seawall became a designated space for walking, and Stanley Park Drive was made available for cycling. As the need for physical distancing lessened, other benefits were noted such as showing leadership on health and climate action.
In March 2021, the commissioners approved the bike lane to remain in place until October 2021 and at least until the end of the Stanley Park Mobility Study. Although this phase saw the return of cars to some corridors, the bike lane got a safety upgrade (more concrete barriers) and the Seawall was re-opened for cycling. Commissioners were then scheduled to make a final decision on the future of the bike lane in the summer of 2022.
