A Vancouver man is fed up with what he says is reckless behaviour of delivery workers illegally using bicycles on sidewalks and wants it to stop.
Todd Clarke lives in Vancouver’s West End and says he’s been hit three times this year while walking in a section of the city popular for pedestrians.
“It’s causing a lot of chaos on the streets,” says Clarke. “It’s been getting noticeably worse with cyclists on the sidewalk.”

Kyla Lee with Acumen Law says the City of Vancouver has the power to regulate people who are conducting business through its bylaws.
“It also makes sense because of the disruption to people living their lives and the potential for injury or harm that could be caused by people who are riding unsafely, to regulate people who are using bikes in a commercial fashion,” says Lee.
The City of Vancouver says fines for riding bicycles on a sidewalk is a $100 bylaw ticket.
