For a Mayor that has talked so much about getting Vancouver's "swagger back" and shaking the no fun city moniker, it's sad to see no fan zone or tay-gating opportunity. Traffic pattern changes all seem to be about accommodating car pickups and drop offs.

We reversed 6 overdoses yesterday.

Biden should go all out on climate for the next 75 days.

Declare a climate emergency. Get all the IRA money out the door. Permit new transmission lines. Stop new LNG exports. Ban drilling on public lands.

Make a mountain of progress for Trump to try and undo.

...annnddd it didn't fit. Well, I was able to make it work with holding the back of the bike 3 ft in the air. Pretty disappointing for the 2nd busiest transit station in the region

Quiet Sunday on the trains seemed like a good time to test out SkyTrain elevator at Commercial - Broadway. @TransLink
Moment of truth...

I came from a Communist country, and the only people who had houses and wealth like this were very high-ranking members of the Communist party itself. What is Chip trying to tell us?

[Dan Ward @_DanWard]

@uglyblender Oh is this Chip or David Cheriton?

@IRPlawyer Disturbing to see people commending the security guard in a video that shows no shoplifting, only face shots and the person being dragged.
A provocative few seconds of video. Little context. This is social media in its purest most toxic form.

If there are going to be climate-justified subsidies for owning electric cars, there should be subsidies for not owning cars at all.

[Dan Ward @_DanWard]

@graciemacdonal9 @KahlonRav Ok sure but how do they get a downpayment if they don't get huge wack of cash from family?

[Dan Ward @_DanWard]

@Andercot Vexing plot twist Andrew! I fear you've been disinformed. Open borders? Child abuse? DT, a "patriot"?
Keep feeding me informed physics tweets 🙏 🥄🌌

@jwhiteyvr Apparently all the rage here in the 20s and 30s

Really feels like a waste of staff time and distraction from addressing jobs/housing creation across the vast majority of areas not impacted by view cones.
Sure, relax some, but It would be incredibly disappointing to largely privatize what have been protected public views.

[Kenneth Chan @iamkennethchan]

BREAKING... City of Vancouver staff propose major changes to View Cone Policies restricting building heights.

Enabling up to 215 MILLION SQ FT of additional building floor area for housing & jobs.

Equivalent to 179 Olympic Villages. #vanpoli #vanre https://t.co/IVbKoDOmIp

@RhiFaux @CityofVancouver @christineeboyle @PtFry @AdrianeCarr @PeterMeiszner @LisaDominato @rebeccaleebligh @LennyNanZhou @MikeKlassen @VisionZeroYVR Thanks for your advocacy Rhi. Based on my daily travels around east van, it definitely feels like things have gotten more reckless on the roads. My favourite is the no signal right turn on red. Feels like those that signal are in the minority.

[Dan Ward @_DanWard]

@christineeboyle Would love to replace our gas stove. I had thought there may be some grants/rebates for this but can't seem to find any. Cc @SwitchItUpBC @bchydro . @FortisBC will you take it?

[Josie Osborne 🇨🇦 @Josie_Osborne]

We’re increasing the max rebate cap on heat pumps from $9,500 to $16,000 for eligible, income qualified British Columbians – bringing affordable, efficient, clean heating to people who need it most… AND we’ll top Northern folks up to another $3,000. https://t.co/mIe52CTEww (2/2)

[Dan Ward @_DanWard]

@PeterMeiszner @gastown Appreciate the pilot though confused with how you can support advancing this while also actively rolling back/uninstalling (at significant cost) other active travel initiatives that have contributed to a safe, vibrant and fun community?

[Dan Ward @_DanWard]

This would be easier to take had @Vote4ABC supported a car-free family-friendly option to get west by bike, like a dedicated bike lane on Broadway.

[CityNews Vancouver @CityNewsVAN]

Pay parking is coming to Spanish Banks lots after the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation approved the motion Monday evening.

@TorranceCoste @TransLink 😂 yup.
It's as if it was made in Jordan P*tersons laboratory for the sole purpose of enraging and generating clown face emojis

[Dan Ward @_DanWard]

Well @TransLink, you really served one up for the "anti-woke" police with this one

[Rob Williams @RobTheHockeyGuy]

Translink buses no longer have "go #Canucks go" messages on them.

Instead? "Go team go."

I spoke to Translink to find out why. https://t.co/PdXoShCBCt
