Carriage operator says Stanley Park lane closure an ‘accident waiting to happen’
Following heated debate, Vancouver Park Board votes to open Stanley Park to one lane of traffic The Vancouver Park Board reopened one lane to vehicles in June, leaving one lane — separated by cones — for cyclists.But Gerry O’Neil, who has owned Stanley Park Horse Drawn Tours for 39 years, said that move has created the conditions for someone to get seriously hurt.The company reopened for business on Saturday but has been exercising the horses in the park for weeks.“The speed limit in the park is 30 kilometres an hour, but it’s become five kilometres per hour because they get behind us and (cars) can’t pass,” he said.
