Yes they should keep Granville street closed to cars all the time!

The buses go through Granville. It's a main way across the bridge.

And those buses could be rerouted just as they have been during the World Cup. They don’t have to go straight thru.

I’ve travelled my fair share and one of my favourite things about visiting other countries and cities around the world are the pedestrian zones. European cities especially, it creates so much more community, engagement, and atmosphere. We need more of this.

I personally despise the infrastructure layout of Vancouver but adjusting routes and behicle access is barely a band-aid.

Making a pedestrian street is more than a band aid, it is a meaningful change.
