Effective today, backcountry routes in #LynnHeadwatersRegionalPark are CLOSED. This applies to routes beyond #NorvanFalls including #HanesValley & in the subalpine (e.g. Crown Mtn). More info: https://t.co/qJpDjTpzRg
The current arrangement should remain in place until the city is ready to move forward with the still undefined improvements. This will ensure safe access to the park for everyone through the autumn and winter.
Removing the separated lane on Stanley Park Drive has no upsides or business cases. The decision to do so by the incoming @Vote4ABC park board is punitive, short-sighted, and will make visiting the park increasingly dangerous for vulnerable road users.
Vancouver’s cyclists came out in droves this morning to send a message to the newly-elected ABC Park Board Commissioners that we #LoveTheLane and we want you to leave it in place over winter when we need the protection the most.
Was the initial implementation perfect? No.
Have most of the initial accessibility issues been corrected? For the most part, yes.
Is there room for improvement? Always!
Stanley Park is accessible to all residents and visitors, including senior citizens and those with disabilities. @NPAVancouver’s argument is disingenuous and will only increase vehicle traffic and unsafe rat running through the park at the expense of vulnerable park users safety.
Take Back Stanley Park - The NPA team believes Stanley Park should be accessible to all residents and visitors, including senior citizens and those with disabilities. Speak out at the next Park Board meeting on Monday, July 18 and 6:30 PM. More info@

As long time multi mode users of Stanley Park we have seen the improvements since road space was reallocated for a dedicated mobility lane. The separated mobility lane is necessary as the number of park users has outgrown the space available on the seawall.
It gets worse!
Golden Ears (West Canyon parking) and Cheakamus have am/pm passes. Need BOTH passes for any longer day hikes from those trailheads?

Passes are back this summer at Golden Ears, Joffre, and three trailheads in Garibaldi (Diamond Head, Rubble Creek, and Cheakamus Lake).

@SuperMikhail1 @more_than_a_mom @OttawaHealth@CHEO You’re still free to share your harmful lies on Nextdoor or whatever your go-to echo chamber happens to be.
@brentskibikeski Roughly how many are you looking for? We would be happy to offer you wholesale rates if the volume is sufficient or the intended use is for AST courses. Please let us know!
The Lower Mainland and Sea to Sky corridor need additional funding for public access and trail maintenance/expansion, not another pay-to-play tenure on public land.
NEW SEPT 30th:
.#garibaldi Rubble Creek trailhead CLOSED
"The trail from Rubble Creek Parking lot to Taylor Meadows and Garibaldi Lake, as well as both campgrounds, are closed due to aggressive bear activity on the trail and at Taylor Meadows Campground."
