DRIVING CHANGE IN VANCOUVER’S STREETS A
Vancouver-based team of researchers called Slow Streets wants to shake up the way we think about who and what streets are for. Does our current model of roadways designed predominately for cars make the best social and economic sense? What if streets made slower methods of getting places – like walking, cycling or transit – easier and more attractive? In a recent report, Slow Streets made a strong case for the argument that placing greater priority on “slower modes” of transportation not only creates a higher return on investment but also helps local businesses thrive. Comparing Commercial Drive and Union Street – now into its second year with a segregated cycling lane buffered by car parking – the team uncovered a wealth of data to support the idea.
Who’s on The Drive? The study began by examining who is on The Drive and how they trav-

elled there. Data collected during three observation periods (weekday afternoon, peak evening and weekend afternoon between September and October 2014) revealed that an astonishing 93 per cent of people visiting The Drive had arrived on foot. A further 3 per cent arrived on transit, with cycling and cars accounting for 2 per cent each. On average, 665 pedestrians passed each observation point every hour but almost three-quarters of them were simply on their way to somewhere else. The rest were either shopping or had plans to meet with friends. Regardless of why or how they came to The Drive, though, people spent the majority of their time walking on the sidewalk. Only 65 cyclists per hour were willing to risk the dangers of navigating a busy road with no cycle lane. In comparison, Union Street sees 289 cyclists per hour cycling and has a significantly lower noise level – Commercial’s 76dB is like standing 15 metres from a highway while Union

is approximately the level of a TV or radio. Which begs the question, in a neighbourhood that has one of the lowest rates of car ownership, why not create a more comfortable, secure sidewalk experience on The Drive?
Good Business “One of the biggest surprises when we looked at Commercial Drive was that most of the people who spend time there are on their feet,” says Samuel Baron, one of the study’s four authors. “But with six lanes of traffic and parking, it can become so crowded it’s uninviting. Simply replacing two of those lanes with protected cycle lanes and widened sidewalks you create a safer, more inviting environment for pedestrian traffic, provide opportunities for patios and other outdoor spaces where people can socialize, all the while enhancing the existing lively, urban vibe.” And while there’s long been a per-

ception that retailers in ground-oriented shopping areas would suffer if parking is removed, Slow Streets’ research showed the opposite. In fact, about 20 per cent of Union Street area residents who cycle said they stop (and shop) at local businesses more frequently now the protected cycle lanes have been installed. Five out of seven businesses on Union Street said implementing a bike lane was good for Union Street and have changed their minds for the better about bike lanes in general. Four out of seven said it increased their business. “When you have people walking and looking in shop windows, they are much more likely to make spontaneous purchases,” Baron notes, adding that a related Portland study found people who are walking or cycling spend more per month at restaurants, bars and convenience stores than car drivers. All of which means that slow streets are good for people and good for business. To check out the complete report, visit slowstreets.wordpress.com.

RIVER WATCH - Waterfront Living at Its Best
A
s soon as Sara Aktary and her fiancé Frenchy heard about River Watch Ladner’s premier waterfront condo project – they knew they’d found their dream home. “It’s like living on the Mississippi river,” says Frenchy. “Every night, we have front row seats to the best sunsets. Our new friends are the wildlife that is right out our deck. We watch as eagles soar and salmon as they jump out of the water. It’s absolutely spectacular.” Aktary adds: “We feel like we are living in a deluxe country resort and yet close to the city… It’s countryside living in the suburbs.” This past June, the couple moved into their two bedrooms and two bathrooms home and they can’t stop gushing about it. “In the summer, we don’t even have the television on. We spend our time on the deck watching the boats go by,” both say.
“We have a water view from every room of our condo.” Frenchy went on to say: “It’s a great community and we’ve made many new friends. We looked around and I can tell you that River Watch is the most affordable waterfront living in all the Lower Mainland.” Starting at $525,500 (includes the GST), River Watch sales manager Frank Becir agrees. “Where else can you purchase a beautiful waterfront home in a tranquil setting starting this low?” he says, adding they often dine at their favourite local eatery, the River House Restaurant & Pub, which is steps away from their home. Nestled on the banks of the Fraser River in Ladner and surrounded by parks and farmland to the south and east, River Watch Residences offer the
best of countryside living only 10 minutes to Richmond, and 20 minutes into Vancouver. Each morning, Sara and Frenchy wake up to sweeping views of the North Shore Mountains, Mt. Baker and the Fraser River. Fro sports buff, lace up your hiking shoes and head to the Millennium Trail, which offers kilometers of walking/cycling trails that can take you to the scenic Deas Island Regional Park or Burns Bog. River Watch is a four-storey Victorianstyle building with distinctive red roof, white hardi-board siding and wrap around balconies as big as 796 square feet. This limited collection of 13 contemporary one and two bedroom homes – with only four, two bedroom suites (Including one penthouse) still available, range from 1049 square feet to more than 1332 square feet for the penthouse suite. They feature
nine-foot ceilings, electric fireplace and warm laminate wood flooring throughout the living area. The residences are also highlighted by large windows, gourmet kitchens with oversized Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, kitchen islands and in floor radiant heat. River Watch is truly the best of urban living in a quiet, rural setting. Act fast as there are only four homes remaining. With prices starting at $525,000 (includes GST) living on the waterfront can be a reality. The River Watch Residences presentation centre, located at 6251 River Road, Ladner, is open Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. or by appointment by calling Frank Becir 604-8625731.
