Just a quick one to share some fun scenes from car free day on St Johns Street in Port Moody… It was quite the difference from two days prior as we waited to pick up pizza from the takeout window at Spacca Napoli. Today, there were no screeching tires or blasting horns… Just music and laughter…

I’ve never seen Water Street in Gastown so lively… That, and a bunch of other good bike and urban realm based things that I’ve captured in photos recently, some new, some less common than they should be, as well as some new project photos…

A spin around Downtown Vancouver to check out a couple of things… including the cherry blossoms, some seawall and Stanley Park shots, a reasonably new protected bike lane and a neat innovation that helps reduce the risk of right hooks…

We had a few warm days last week, but things got in the way of riding my bike. So with temperatures of 18 degree in the forecast, the shorts were on for a ride through north Burnaby, North Vancouver and back via Vancouver, taking in some old projects and relevant bits of infrastructure along the way… It never got close to 18 degrees…

With a bit of spare time to kill in and around Victoria, I spent some time in the City, along the regional trails, and checking in on early construction work for our ISL project at Uptown in Saanich that will support RapidBus and active transportation…

Kelowna bike infrastructure is looking pretty good these days. Join me on a quick loop around the City taking in some protected bike lanes of varying styles, gravel trails, multi-use pathways and open (or closed) streets depending on your perspective…

Come for a ride along some AAA bike infrastructure in Vancouver and North Vancouver as we take in a few of our ISL Engineering projects as well as many others along the way… Sharing some knowledge and a few insights as we go…

In Victoria for a conversation about Dutch street design at Habit Coffee who are also hosting my ‘Lessons from the Dutch’ exhibit, I also took a wander around with the camera during evening and morning commutes…

Dutch designs, even Dutch levels of ridership during the BC Land Summit bike tour… Catching up on Metral Drive after a year or two, as we take a bike ride through Nanaimo on the new Evo bike share bikes, taking in some multi-use pathways, protected bike lanes, protected intersections and continuous sidewalks and bike paths.

With a few hours to kill around Downtown Vancouver, I took a spin around on the bike, where I thought I’d try and find some classic waterfront views. Not my typical post, but sometimes it’s nice just to enjoy the view… There’s still some good traffic free bike infrastructure though…

If cargo bike moms and dads are the indicator species of bicycle network safety and connectivity… then Victoria is pretty safe and connected... On this whistle stop tour of some of the city’s bike infrastructure, they were everywhere.

Well, sort of… this blog post is less about super wide bike lanes, and more super wide photographs of them. But like usual, there are lots of bike lanes, and some other interesting things along the way…

The Esplanade Complete Street project provided a considerable upgrade to the active transportation infrastructure and streetscape along this busy commercial arterial street, making it safer and more comfortable for everybody travelling along it.
