Letter: Bike lanes enhance property values

Criticism of the Columbia bike lane is disappointing. One would think it’s the end of the world with a spiral of decreasing property values, lost parking and other woes. Downtown Vancouver suffers from a lack of dedicated bicycle infrastructure that travels north from downtown to 45th Street. Once past 45th Street, to the east there is a connection to Hazel Dell Avenue and Salmon Creek; to the west, one could access the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail for some of the best family-focused recreation in the area. It also links to the Interstate 5 Bridge, and via Evergreen to east Vancouver, the I-205 path, Fisher’s Landing and Camas.
