If you have to pick up people downtown Vancouver, this is a good location to meet them at: North Side of Smythe on Seymour Street. There is an Impark on the East side of Seymour street at this location and a coffee shop across from it to wait for your hikers/passengers. These spots are hard to find downtown with washroom access nearby. I just parked on the side of the street, went and bought a coffee and used the washroom there while I waited for a hiker this morning. When you have to wait it is nice to have washrooms when you are travelling, especially if you arrive early or have driven a far ways.
