VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – A Vancouver city councilor is calling for more enforcement on our sidewalks.

She’s a cyclist supporter, but Green Party councilor Adriane Carr says the one area bikes shouldn’t be is on the sidewalk.

“That’s incredibly unsafe for pedestrians. There’s too many near misses and collisions and people knocked to the ground and that kind of thing.”

Carr says she isn’t the only one that feels this way. “Many, many people in the cycling community agree that cycling on sidewalks is not on. It’s dangerous and completely inappropriate. It’s illegal.”

Carr has also changed her mind on another idea. She had once suggested some streets be made bike free, as a way to make bike lanes more palatable to drivers.

She says she no longer supports that.
