Gabriola Island Ferry Advisory Committee 
I sometimes ride a motorbike. Now the hatched area for medically assured loading has been moved, where should bikes park? In summer, there are frequently 10 -12 bikes – I have seen 20. Cars are now parking close to the hatched area, leaving no room for bikes.
A suggestion is to have a white line by the sign on the approach to the hatched area. If cars stop there, bikes could park in that (approximately one car space) area. The equivalent of two car spaces would be better. Bikes cannot park in the hatched area or in front of it, as they used to do.
