By the 2020s, the city should have built a bike-bridge parallel to it. Or, have doubled the width of the sidewalks by building out at least another meter on each side.

 If done properly, adding bike lanes & especially bike-bridges doesn't mean that traffic lanes have to be removed from the mostly already narrow bridges in Greater Vancouver.
