Every one is going to be a NIMBY!
People living in Vancouver are going to be, trend wise, wealthy. They are going to live in HIGH priced homes/property.
They are NOT  going to want homeless people living in the area. Most will not want any subsidized housing in the area.
The city has a major homeless problem, It has a bigger problem about people working lower salary positions, which are VERY important to the city. Where do they live?

EVERYONE in Vancouver has to make a sacrifice to aide these problems.

Forget any bike route issues Gregor. Work on the homeless/affordability  issue.
to bad you spent so much on the Burrard street bridge/Burrard bike route/Point Grey route/Arbutus Corridor.
