community members, activists, and some city staff gathered Saturday at Devonian Harbour Park.
“We’re trying to get the information out that if we don’t do something at the next election, the temporary bike lane will become permanent and access will be restricted for seniors and people with disabilities,” Tricia Barker said, Vancouver Park Board’s vice chair.Barker has concerns about the near future of Stanley Park with an upcoming construction project that is projected to last years in the area.
