First, the VPD said they couldn't explain how they would spend $1.4 million city council gave them to police five blocks of Granville for seven weeks because it was an operational matter.
Then they said they were still figuring out their plans.
Now they're saying it's too complicated to reveal.

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.
piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

Last summer, I moved a motion to improve the City's road safety policy. And next week, we take the next big step.🚦
Staff are bringing back recommendations on the changes needed to bring fatalities and serious injuries from motor vehicle crashes to zero in Vancouver.
