I wouldn’t call it a ‘trial’.

It was in place for a couple of decades. Agreed that it failed in the end, as did Rideau street in Ottawa.

Article says it was in place for 5 weeks.

I was referring to the one in Vancouver.

Yes but I had noted that there’s been a previous 2 decade installation on Granville in Vancouver elsewhere on the thread.

There’s been a lot of success with these in Europe, less in North America.
