I rode through manners st this afternoon at about 17:30. from the pedestrian crosswalk at courtenay theater, to the corner of willis st, google maps says it's a distance of 650m. this took 7+ minutes. is it now safe to say that WCC screwed up?

or is there a better way to get through that section of the city? i guess ANY other way would be better...?

is there any sort of planning in regards to bicycle traffic through the golden mile?
