There were proposals last year to add a bike lane to Broadway. And to install red light & speed cameras on Clark at Broadway and at 12th. Neither would have been ready in time to save this life. But they could have saved the next. Except both motions failed. These are choices.

Just realized it's been almost TWO years not one. The CVG is easily in the top 5 most important cycling routes in the lower mainland. Imagine Hwy 1 or 99 closed for 2+ years with no end in sight and no updates. We rebuilt the Coquihallah in months!

randomly tuned in to the livestream of some new housing proposals at city hall, and heard so many members of the public who are all huge supporters of more housing but just not in the one particular spot it's being proposed! ah what bad luck!!! 😖

The city should be embarrassed. If a major road was impacted the way the seawall has been, do you think it would receive the same treatment? Three months in to the closure and this is where we're at.

'Why is the 84 never on time 🫨 ?'

Imagine the mode shift we could induce if one of these lanes was a priority bus lane.

'And again, this is just for a second, right, you’re letting your kid out. And you’re trying to get them as close as you can to the school because you don’t want your children in Vancouver crossing streets or anything like that.' 🤔

Interesting from Dominato in 2023: 'automated enforcement is something we'll need to look into further as a council.'

Sounds like there was momentum before Brian Montague killed it, presumably to avoid getting tickets on his drive in from North Van.

Wherein a Vancouver councilor who lives on the north shore decides to pick a fight with a local advocacy group because they want to *checks notes* have fewer people killed on our roads. 'Pathetic and disgusting' is right
