As the proverb says a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Adanac in general is a great route. But waht is the use of a great route if one part of it is dangerous? That one part means that the total experience of riding the route is dangerous. I think we need to be diverting funds to all the weakest links.

I haven’t been that way for a while – I use CVG and 7/11. I will check it out. Thanks! … Oh wait, I remember it now, I used to bike that route years ago. That was always an unpleasant crossing. I cannot BELIEVE it’s still like that … definitely merits a Red Zone post!

Yes, it’s got to the point where, if I am not running late for work, I take a very long way around. I just think sooner or later, someone HAS to get hit at that point. So going that way is kind of like playing Russian roulette.

No lights for pedestrians or cyclists, crossing 4 lanes of sometimes busy traffic. Not fun.

My route to work goes from the Dunsmuir –> Adnac then up Gilmore which is a shared bike lane but relatively safe.

BUT I see cyclists riding along Main on the days I drive or carpool and turn onto Terminal. It’s insane!! I don’t believe I would even have the guts to ride along Main street during rush hour. So dangerous!
