Burrard Bridge Trial

BEST congratulates the City of Vancouver on its decision to extend the Burrard Bridge Trial through to the end of the Olympics. An updated report from staff and Bridge Trial data has now been published. The numbers show that cycling is up approximately 25% over pre-trial traffic, while pedestrian traffic remains about the same. Vehicle traffic is about the same or up slightly.

Northbound travel times have decreased slightly during the trial, while southbound have increased or stayed the same. Interestingly, the largest increases in southbound travel time occur between 8 and 11 AM, while evening rush hour travel times are within one minute of pre-trial levels.
