Rotary Ride for Rescue on 11 June

Welch Street Bridge

Closed to automobiles till August but MUP remains open
Better share-the-path signage is needed to encourage cyclists to ride on the MUP rather than the automobile traffic lanes.

TransLink is trialing bike buses from Bridgeport Station down to Tsawwassen. These are converted buses that have full bike racks inside instead of seats.
