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?

    Thank you!

    I’ve sent them an email to inquire about the purpose of these speedbumps and why there are so many of them.

    This really seems to be ridiculous.

      I’m sure they’ll come back with “to slow down people on e-bikes and e-scooters”, but those things are so anti-everyone else that they really shouldn’t be there. EDIT: The speed bumps, not e-bikes and e-scooters!

      If you don’t get answers or the answer is silly, try to get in contact with the Accessibility Advisory Committee.

        Done! I’ve contacted them as well. At least via an online form that I had been linked to.
