On Wednesday, some Vancouverites said benches along the refurbished Granville Street Connector bridge looked like an afterthought as their placement on the sidewalk with yellow paint has drawn ridicule. Jeff Leigh, the Vancouver chair of advocacy organization HUB Cycling, said that while the benches may eventually be changed, there are other things that can be done to make the bridge safer for cyclists and pedestrians.
