Their idea of infrastructure is adding a new traffic light to every conceivable block, That is literally their idea of "adding infrastructure". If you ever drive Lougheed, you will see the lights aren't even coordinated, making your commute an insanely long time for a very small subsection of road.
It's absolutely bizarre and infuriating.

I take Marine Drive every day and it is brutal as well. City built 3 more intersections on Marine drive just between SE Marine turn off and Boundary because of that new development along the river. Lights between Elliot and Boundary are not coordinated at all and is pretty frustrating.
Also that new intersection at Yukon and Marine drive. Holy shit, that one is so stupid as it is not synced with the one at Cambie which results in massive backups all the time. I filed a ticket with Vancouver about that one and the response was that it was timed for buses which is BS because buses will get stuck in the traffic as well!
I was bored one day at work so I counted all the intersections along Marine drive from Arthur Laing to Boundary and it was something like 30 lights in 10 km.
So much for being a major arterial road. I'm sure someone in Vancouver engineering is thinking of removing one lane to create bike lanes.
