On the downtown Vancouver side, the roads of the loops have been removed (the video shows what it looks like currently on both the west and east loop sides).
The City of Vancouver's goal is to create a “safer, more accessible crossing for walking, rolling and cycling" on the Granville Street Bridge.
PLANS:
* Separated walking and cycling paths
* Two vehicle lanes will be repurposed for the new pathways
* Concrete barriers to separate predestrian & cyclers from vehicle traffic
* Onbridge traffic signals to be installed on both ends of the bridge
* Demolition of the north loops (on the downtown side) and converting it a "H" street network
TIMELINE:
* Winter 2023 – East loop closure
* Spring 2023 – West loop closure
* Summer 2023 to Fall 2023 – temporary Granville Street closure with a detour in effect
* Spring 2024 – opening of the new downtown street network
