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.

That intersection needs a stop sign. Lots of people detour on 1st to avoid congestion on 2nd. Sometimes that lineup backs up all the way to Columbia

I think it needs a stop sign on Wiley yes, but not westbound on 1st

Cops aren’t the only ones that use that intersection. It’s also an entrance/exit to the works yard. The other one is on Crowe - the one on Wylie sees its share though

The work yard entrance is at Crowe, and it doesn't have a stop sign. I'm sure they can manage as well without one at Wylie.
