I saw these installed on the Arbutus Greenway today. This doesn’t look in any form wheelchair, stroller, one wheel, skate board or bike friendly to me at all.

Is there any practical reason to build those barriers to justify making life harder for above mentioned groups?

    More speed bumps on a bike path/pedestrian path than on roads? Whoever did this absolutely hates non-motorized transportation.

    I’d remove them myself if I lived there.

    OP, get in touch with your Active Transportation Advisory Committee and see if they are even aware of this. I’m sure they wouldn’t have agreed to it.

      Since I use that path , I agree with the speed bumps ppl rip it hard on that and it does make it hairy for walkers, etc

      I’ve never seen wheelchairs there before. There is a 3% incline there. So I wouldn’t expect many to use it anyways because of that
