“I biked over this bridge a couple times in 1990 when I was in university, and then I found better routes. Since then, I’ve walked over the bridge hundreds and hundreds of times, and I would say, people call me brave. When I talk to other people, they’ve basically walked or biked over the bridge once because it was terrifying,”

I’ve walked, biked and run across Granville, Burrard, Oak, Knight, Queensborough and Patullo bridges. I’d list Patullo as the scariest, followed by Granville and then Knight.

Of course, Patullo’s getting completely replaced, so hopefully this is the change that’s needed.

I do wonder if the new layout for vehicle traffic over the Granville bridge will improve traffic flow; it puts the bottlenecks in saner places where they won’t disrupt local traffic as much.
