Background
The northernmost (1700) block of Fir Street and the 1600 block of West 1st Avenue is a mixed neighbourhood of residential and small business, with a community garden and well-used access to walking and bicycle paths. The corner includes 4 stop signs: a 3-way T-junction stop sign for traffic heading north, east and west, and an additional, angled T-junction stop sign for north and south bound traffic.
In the past few years, this neighbourhood has seen increased traffic from independent tour bus operators, operating a variety of large,
older, retrofit buses. The buses create noise and exhaust fumes. The noise is due to vehicle type, idling at stop signs, acceleration after
the stop signs, and the tour operators' use of loud-speaker systems.
We the undersigned ask the City of Vancouver Traffic Management Branch to:
• establish a route for independent tour bus operators that excludes access to the 1700 block of Fir Street and the 1600 block of
West 1st Avenue
