The Arbutus Greenway is an already-wonderful and continuously-improving walking+bike trail in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada, hey) that connects and improves many of the city’s neighborhoods and business districts. At 11km and growing, it’s a meaningful part of the cityscape.
There are many bike share stations along the way. The bike share pricing is best-suited to residents, but there are also viable options for visitors.
This section has a Montessori preschool on one side, and blackberry bushes on the other.
Arbutus Coffee, a long-time neighborhood gem, is a half block from the greenway.
The greenway’s cup runneth over with community gardens.
Also, bees!
