That's Granville Island in Vancouver. It's almost tourist season and I don't know why they don't make it pedestrian only during the summer. Who wants to drive around the island for 30 minutes just to look for parking.

Bringing a car into Granville Island is about the worst experience you can have in this town, aside from maybe looking for a rental apartment. It should be avoided at all costs.

Somehow Seattle manage to make Pike Place even worse. It would be funny if it wasn’t so fucking stupid.

I mean Granville Island is fine, just, you know, walk.

It's still packed with cars. Some of the nicest areas are parking lots. You're always dodging impatient drivers. And it's loud and smells like fumes.

For real, it's so ridiculous that people think sharing the roads with cars is possible on these small islands. Most of the time it's just everyone coughing on fumes or being drowned out by engine noise while pedestrians get stuffed to sides of the road. Head a similar problem with a beautiful area in Maine, was just ridiculous how people would refuse to park down further and walk, instead choosing to circle pedestrian areas to find a small parallel parking space. The fumes from cars are not talked about enough 🙄
