Vancouver councillors unanimously pass a motion to install sideguards on city-owned trucks

Vancouver councillors have unanimously passed a motion to install sideguards on city-owned trucks and advocate for the requirement of the guards on all other large trucks. The guards would prevent cyclists or pedestrians from being swept under the back wheels of a big rig if the truck suddenly turns in front of them.

In addition to upgrading city vehicles with sideguards, council will also send a letter to Transport Canada asking it to make the guards necessary on all large trucks.
