I find it's mostly avoidable if you design your life so that you don't have to depend on a car and if you do want to drive, can avoid when & where everyone else is going.

With so much development of higher density housing and the roads and bridges staying mostly the same, traffic will only get worse I'm afraid. More reason to avoid driving.

I'm pretty happy with how cycling infrastructure has been improving over the last years although it's still incredibly basic compared to what I grew up with in Holland.

The infrastructure has improved a lot in the last 10 years. A good bit more to do for commuting routes. Most of what's done is nice pootling stuff. 

The amount of seniors on ebikes cruising around the Shore is really exploding and great to see. That can only increase pressure for more infrastructure. Lynn Valley road east of Mtn Hwy is about to get an upgrade

I'd love to move to the North Shore but the traffic situation is what scares me as we'd need to commute to and from Vancouver daily. 

You become the problem if you drive solo.  That’s the part people just don't get.

I wonder if instead of spending money on the interchange if it was used to build a skytrain line to the shore if that would have a better effect on reducing NS traffic.

The SkyTrain line from Evergreen line to Phibbs seems to be gaining a bit of momentum.

What happened to the Phibbs upgrade? Seems to have died. Looked on TransLink and don't see anything.

In fairness to the whole Lower Lynn project the idea seems to have been to seperate local traffic from the highway which makes sense. It's been painfully slow to finish though. Westbound traffic from Seymour Parkway still has to go up to Mtn Hwy, sit at traffic lights and rejoin the highway. All because the sequencing seems to have been f'd up to complete the merge lane

Big up to you heroes! 

Tatiana and Out of Sight great additions! Much appreciated

Outbound 15km and 250m vert

Its a pleasure to be able to ride in and it's short enough. Not sure if I'd manage a 50km+ everyday that some people do.

Luckily a lot of my route is grade separated bike lanes so a rainy night ride isn't as sketchy as it might be otherwise. Even if a route is longer it's prob a good idea to ride that way in those conditions

Yeah 50km is a bit much unless the only thing a person does is bike.

sent you a pm

I know a few who e-bike to work 40km to leave themselves juice to mountain bike. All depends when you are in your life and how much you can commit to fitness I guess

Discuss.......

Seymour TRAIL use survey.   Who’s had their say?

GSM to Mushroom Lot please !

Yeah it's a gong show. Mini Port Mann in terms of slowness. The merge lane heading eastbound is super short, don't get that. Could be worse I guess ..... Cap Road enters the chat

Wonder how much Seymour Pub got screwed

Anyone know where the pic was taken? Last year there was one spotted out by Rainbow Lake which caused the closure. Wonder is more and more population coming into the trail zone and also into town.
