@LeoSpalteholz @Tavis My guess is that too many realtors / land speculators get involved in local politics, so it goes no-where.

Dangerous driving.

Not to mention that most of these bike routes are just normal car-dominated streets with a bike stencil painted on the asphalt.

Your regular reminder that dynamic charging #electricbus fleets are practical and cost effective. Especially effective on busy bus rapid transit (#BRT) lines. (Also known as Battery #Trolleybus - BTB) https://t.co/aLMtw3qThQ

American cities were not built for the car, they were bulldozed for it.

Choosing to widen #BCHwy1 in the Fraser Valley means choosing to make traffic worse. Choosing to improve public transit instead would make life better for everyone (except big oil and big auto CEOs). Hard choice? #bcpoli

Seems like a problem caused by cars/traffic, not pedestrians.

buses should never wait at stoplights

transit signal priority doesn’t get talked about much but it’s probably the cheapest way to get major (up to 27%) reductions in bus travel times

New research shows that e-bikes reduce car usage by 19%, significantly reduce car trips of less than three miles and enhance autonomy for seniors and the elderly.

Cities need to be doing more to help people shift trips from cars to (e-)bikes, including e-bike incentive programs.

Police don’t prevent crime. They show up after it happens. Crime prevention starts with funding social programs and creating opportunity.

Thanks to @sudburydotcom @NiagaraNowMedia for schooling the Ottawa bubble on rage boy.

@SoniaFurstenau Thank you! Highway expansion makes traffic *worse*, costs a fortune, and is in direct conflict with the CleanBC target of reducing traffic (VKT) 25% by 2030. Better #publictransit makes life better for everyone! #bcpoli

[Eric Doherty🌻 @Eric_Doherty]

@Dave_Eby Highway expansion makes traffic *worse* and thickens the blanket of greenhouse gas pollution overheating our planet. AND the #CleanBC climate plan calls for reducing traffic (vehicle kilometers traveled) 25% by 2030. . . WTF is up @Dave_Eby? #bcpoli

[Eric D @IslandIto]

@Powerstroking73 @VancouverSun Exactly how does making housing rules more libertarian make them communist?

Wow, I'm the most dangerous little old lady of 84 you've ever heard of! Was it the blue XXXs? Too hot to read? Adult entertainment only? I wonder which satirists of ancient Rome would be banned there? And I'm banned from Russia, too! Oh alas, whatever will I do? Hit Utah with my cane?
