No, the whole point is that bike travelers may go safely and directly to the shops and restaurants, not be told to stay out of the way. If parking fills up on or just off Hope St, then people can park on Lorimer.

The businesses didn’t want it. The residents didn’t want it. And it made more sense to have the bike trail be on a less busy, parallel street. But that apparently wasn’t satisfying enough?
