This walking tour hosted by YPT Vancouver explored the transportation behind the scenes around Granville Street. Including how bus detours with bus priority measures implemented on Seymour and Howe were able to keep buses running as quick as on the bus-only Granville St.

It would cost the province zero dollars to require landlords to accept pets. Existing housing law already gives landlords recourse if there's damage due to pets.
The BC government promised in 2024 that they would do this. It would be an easy good news story. What is the hold up?

‘Pets are a part of the family’: No-pet policies hinder housing search for Vancouver’s most vulnerable
With no clear sign of when or if the province may deliver on its no-pet policy ban, Vancouver’s tenants are left to navigate the housing crisis alone with their furry friends in tow.

If you are attending a high-security concert like Taylor Swift's eras tour. Your >$1,000+ ticket is not being checked by a badge and gun and shared with immigration.
What could possibly justify a taxpayer-funded police force to check your <$5 fare payment AND immigration status?

Transit police are calling immigration on transit riders—and most of the time they aren't documenting it
Freedom-of-info docs indicate Transit Police calls to CBSA have risen. But in available 2024 data, 91% of calls didn't go into daily duty reports as required

We know the city can do better because just a couple blocks away, Westminster Highway has a pretty nice protected 2-way multi purpose path, keeping cyclists and pedestrians safe. (2/2)

Rapid transit improvements work best when it’s designed to serve an area of shops, restaurants and housing… We’re fighting to make sure transit improvements that serve the needs of our region don’t get shut down by people afraid of change.

Cyclists may be familiar with Schroedinger's cyclist. But I'd suggest also Schroedinger's public transport: simultaneously too slow and restrictive for car-users to take, while also perfectly fine and therefore not in need of any funding for improvement or expansion, or reallocation to bus lanes.

See all the street furniture, the extended patios? You can't have any of this placemaking if you make the street car free only 1 day a week for 8 hours. No business is going to install and dismantle these things on repeat. This was a Thursday btw

what's so frustrating about these pilot programs is they give people a glimpse of what could be better in our cities, then withdraw it, and the whole charade squanders an enormous amount of money and achieves nothing
Really disappointing that after what was a wildly successful and popular Water St pedestrian pilot last summer, council has decided that this year all we get is 8 hours a week.
