Cambie Bridge — Attraction in Vancouver

I give it a 4 out of 5 for it being a bridge and its efficacy at being such. But in the realm of customer service it does not quite measure up. Specifically I find The Bridge's ability to convey to me that it values me as person who frequents it (as pedestrian as I may be) is somewhat lacking. Sure it is able to span the gap between those living the Hustle-n-Bustle-I-Pay-More-for-Parking-than-My-Mortgage lifestyle of the Downtown Elite and the Less-Hustle-more-Dog-Parks-n-Bike-Lanes lifestyle of the average down-to-Earth, everyday-man (or woman, I dont judge), Joe (or Jane, still not judging) Citizen in False Creek.

Would have been a 4-star review, however the new bike lane shenanigans are ridiculous. For those unaware, there used to be two-way bike lanes on the east side of the bridge, now each side is one way and makes my specific commute WAY harder (approximately 3 more crosswalks to deal with..ugh).

Maybe this is a step in the right direction, but I am not happy about it right now. Maybe I will learn and grow from this. Change always happens, right? Just for now I am upset and angry.

Beautiful views otherwise. Not impressed with City Council. Should have gone to the open house...
