Really sad seeing cities around the world do silly things like close a few streets to traffic and decimate all the local businesses. So glad Vancouver is s-p-e-c-i-a-l and would never try anything like this.

Maybe when the choice is "give homeowners with massive garages a 5th free parking spot" vs "let people die," we should be adding protected lanes, not removing them.

You know that feeling when you fill a graduated cylinder directly from the dH2O tap, at an angle, and somehow hit the right volume first try? I live for that feeling.
