I can appreciate the going green, leaving cars at home and all that jazz, but until they make transit viable for people who work outside the 9 to 5 hours its all hogwash. I start work at 5:30am in East Van. Do you think I can find any transit that can get me to from the North Shore to Vancouver. Not on your life!!! Not to mention what takes me 15mins to drive is over an hour on transit. Until that changes driving is the only option.

Oh well it’s only for a couple of weeks.

@Marty most major cities have some great pedestrian only areas. Stuttgart is one that comes to mind. But they also have a great transportation system (which includes public bicycles at the train stations) to back it up.

thanks anyways miss604, these road closures are extreamly frustrating for people who need to get around and can’t afford to live downtown. Buses are not convinient and it was already annouced that here will be 2-3 hour lines at all skytrains stations. >.<

Hi there, each map posted here is click-able and is either linked to a) a bigger image or b) the source website from VANOC or Translink where you can find more information.

I am handicapped and have MS and need my car to drive as I am unable to walk. I live on the North Shore and my Vet is on 4th Ave in Vancouver and I hope I am going to be able to get there if needed when the olympics are on. I also go to movies at Tinseltown because of the easy access for me the handicapped parking and we don’t have shows during the day on the North Shore. Are we going to be able to access the underground parking for Tinseltown when the games are on from Pender Street. And what about the bridge are we going to be able to come and go over the bridge because I am dependent on my car this has caused me alot of worry and stress wondering how I am going to be able to get around. I am a senior and have a homesupport worker who lives in the West End and drives over on a Sat for the day and thinks he won’t be able to make it when the games are on also. If there is someone that can give me some answers I would appreciate it.

Thanks Lynda Baker
