The proposed creation of a bus lane in West Vancouver brought residents on both sides of the issue onto the streets for duelling protests on Saturday. They came into contact with around 20 people in support of the proposal outside the West Vancouver Memorial Library. The protests follow West Vancouver Council's approval last summer of a proposal by Translink to create a new B-Line rapid service bus line running on Marine Drive from Dundarave in West Vancouver to Phibbs Exchange in North Vancouver. The B-Line bus routes are designed to be faster and more reliable by combining stops that are at least one kilometre apart. "I'm looking for the middle ground here," said West Vancouver Mayor Mary-Ann Booth, who visited both rallies.
