Map of proposed bikeway on Richardson Street in Victoria.
A cyclist rides on Richardson Street. The bikeway planned for the street has generated vocal opposition, with a flurry of letters to the editor, a petition and an organized social-media presence called Rethink Richardson lobbying city council to revise the design. ADRIAN LAM, TIMES COLONIST Victoria council has opted to continue with an approved plan for a bikeway project on Richardson Street in a 6-3 vote that rejected a motion to delay for further consultation. Under the plan, the physical road will remain mostly the same, with added on-street parking in some areas that will narrow the road, and five traffic diversions that will prevent through-traffic for motor vehicles. Cyclists, who are normally required to ride as close to the right as possible, will share the road with motorists, who can pass a cyclist by pulling around on the cyclist’s left, as they would on any local street.
A third-party study on widening the trails identified the increasing use of electric bikes as one of several key issues for trail users. “The introduction of electric bicycles in recent years has created challenges when mixed with other, non-power assisted trail users primarily due to the speeds that e-bikes can achieve. E-bikes are also generally larger and heavier than conventional bicycles, increasing the damage/injury that may occur in case of collision,” the report says. Bill Fry, owner of Trek Bicycle Store, said electric bikes have been rapidly growing in popularity over the past three years. Many of the people getting on e-bikes are new to cycling or haven’t been a regular biker for a while, he said, which can lead to issues if someone takes the bike to its maximum speed, which is capped at 32 kilometres per hour. That’s a speed Fry can reach on his road bike, but he has years of experience.

Corey Burger, president of the Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition, said his group is excited about the proposed changes, because the sheer volume of cyclists and pedestrians on the trail leads to inevitable conflict. “It just doesn’t work to keep these two different modes who are travelling at such different speeds together,” he said. Burger said complaints tend to come from people walking, because bikes pass them at higher speeds than pedestrians can travel. A CRD staff report recommends creating a four-metre-wide, two-way bike path next to a 2.5-metre-wide pedestrian path on those busy stretches, an increase of one to 3.5 metres in width.
