HUB Tri-Cities Assessment Ride Reports

2014 Assessment Rides

Port Moody 9-March-2014: Ride was initiated in response to meeting with Port Moody staff regarding new proposal bike lane markings on Ungless and Heritage Mountain Blvd. At that meeting proposals were put forth regarding the configuration of on-road lane markings at various intersections.

Ungless: Roadway is rather narrow. Suggest just using sharrows for the westbound section since route is downhill and space is limited. See video: http://youtu.be/sLKS5hs2pns

For eastbound section, marked bike lane would be useful as cyclist speed is much lower. No special treatment needed at intersections here. Note that approach from from IOCO northbound is rather narrow. Sharrows likely needed here. See video:

Lougheed Highway 7-Jan-2014:

Ride covered portion of new PMH1 infrastructure between Colony farm road and ended up at intersection of Brunette and Lougheed (both directions). 2013 Assessment Rides

David Avenue bike lanes

Lougheed Highway Main findings:

-several substandard sections of new bike lanes on Lougheed (PMH1 responsibility) More details to follow.

-very dangerous situation at Lougheed and Brunette where bike lane suddenly ends without warning and resumes a block down the road. Coquitlam responsibility.
