Concept design for Bowen Island roadside LIFT Stops
Prins Bernhardplein liftplaats - in Holland
This fall Bowen LIFT will be approaching Municipal Council to have signed roadside pullouts at safe strategic places around the island for picking up hitchhikers. This would be in addition to traditional thumbing.
In photo at left an Amsterdam roadside Lift Stop – called LIFTPLAATS - “Lift Places” – for hitching in Holland.
