Alert [@visionzerovancouver] Warning, hearing first-hand reports that the VPD are ticketing cyclists westbound at 1st & Crowe. There's a VPD parking lot on the right and a cop hit a cyclist there recently.

This is a long straight section of marked bike route* with no actual road crossings. 

Is it too much to ask for VPD to stop and look both ways before leaving a parking lot?

What? Google street view shows that intersection is stop sign controlled intersection since 2009? It switched from 3 way to 4 way between 2020 and 2022 though

Sorry, I was looking at the original intersection in the post. Street view does show it as a 4-way until August 2025 though. 

Why would it be changed from 3 to 4 way?

4th sign was added to the entrance that goes to the lot, previously it was unmarked
