United Boulevard, northbound to Lougheed Highway
This shows the state of the shoulder northbound along United Boulevard from Mary Hill Bypass to Lougheed Highway eastbound on-ramp. New Port Mann Bridge bike lanes connect to this shoulder, which is clearly far too narrow to be safely used as a bike lane. Also, there is a considerable amount of debris on this shoulder (gravel, rocks, glass, and large nails). Video starts at Golden Avenue. Taken March 21, 2015.
Coquitlam River Bridge to United Blvd
This shows a significant problem with cyclist access to the new bike lane on the Maryhill bypass west of the Coquitlam River bridge. The bridge shoulder width is less than one meter and therefore unsafe for use by cyclists. Recommended fix: move road lanes over 1m to the south, and route cyclists/peds on the MUP on the south side. Video was taken while travelling westbound from Port Coquitlam side. Taken March 21, 2015.
CPR-tracks opposite United Blvd
Proposed location of preferred United Blvd CVG extension.
Port Mann Bridge: Connector Lougheed-United Blvd connector
This new bike line takes cyclists eastbound on Lougheed up a dedicated ramp and places them on a shoulder with traffic exiting Highway 1. The bike lane ends at United Blvd.

Heading south on multi use path along Como Creek.

Maryhill Bypass old train tunnel
Heading north along the eastern perimeter of the PMH1 construction site. This is an old train tunnel that should form part of a new Metro Van watermain trail.

United Blvd sidewalks
Heading eastbound on the north side between King Edward and Brigantine. The question is, can this be used as a temporary gap connector between PM bridge and CVG?
