Personally, I think the pace of bike lane building is going to slow down quite a bit -- Moonbeam is heading out the door, and I think there is now enough backlash against bike lanes (eg. think outside VGH) that CoV City Hall is going to approach the issue more carefully. And most importantly, all the hipster places already have bike lanes, so it's like, where else can they squeeze them in?

If I were a rich and betting man in Vancouver and Burnaby, I'd go out and scoop up all available detached homes on the major roads. There is little doubt that these 2 City Halls have their eyes (and wallets) set on increasing density, and the already trending and preferred method is to convert single detached homes into higher density residences. In CoV, especially, it is already happened across the board.
