The number of vehicle lanes will be reduced to two from four, and new transit islands are being built along Front Street, which parallels the waterfront from the Gabriola ferry terminal to Maffeo Sutton Park. “We want to double the amount of trips that have been taken by people walking and people using bikes by the year 2040,” Coun. Don Bonner said in an interview Friday. “We need to build the safe infrastructure for people to get from point A to point B on a bike. So that’s why we are trying to connect these partially connected bike lanes into a grid, so that people can get pretty well anywhere in Nanaimo on a bike.”
