CascadiaReport

Business and politics of Cascadia, the trans-border region in the Pacific Northwest bound by a common future.

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

Agree. This is tragic.

[Aryze @aryzedev]

This should be illegal.

We have so much space to increase the number of homes within our current urban areas connected to services, transit, and amenities.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

I think it’s past time to call it — Vancouver is no longer a leader among cities in new urban biking & active transportation infrastructure. It’s now joined the ranks of cities that made strong progress in the past, but at best has stalled & in fact is sadly now moving backwards.

"The sweet spot for frequency and ridership capture is 16 daily roundtrips between Seattle and Portland." @Amtrak_Cascades https://t.co/ghDbk1MzJV via @urbanistorg

The year is 2023 A.D. The west coast is entirely open to single stair multi family buildings. Well not entirely! One small province of backward Canadians still holds out against sensible building codes.

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

Hard to believe they're not making lots of $, given surcharges and higher fares. Not like the old Clipper. https://t.co/T72iLj9RiY via @seattletimes

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

No more. https://t.co/b7sCrzXPy7 via @timescolonist

Vancouver froze its land use in amber in the 1920s; apartments were only allowed in areas that already had apartments. The details of our planning have changed since, but those broad strokes have been unchanged for nearly a century

[Nathan Allebach @nathanallebach]

If we want to bring back “third places” to mend our social fabric in America, then we also need to rebuild walkable communities so they can thrive. And to rebuild walkable communities, we need to de-center cars in our downtowns and reform our zoning, permitting, and parking laws.

Imagine a new subway station that bridges the barrier between the two, creating a gateway to both stadiums and ID while unifying local, regional and intercity transit right where the top of the red shaded part is…

(Build 4th Avenue shallower station for ST3)

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

All over Gabriola Island they have these signs. First 20 times I wondered why they’re against chips.

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

Another beautiful morning in #VictoriaBC. With plans for Downtown-Uptown, waterfront, Vic West, more #housing, etc., #YYJ will be even better.

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

Appreciate the improved walkways at the #VictoriaBC waterfront. When will #YYJ city make bigger vision reality for residents and visitors? @DaveThompsonVIC #MissedOpportunity

[David Berry @davidrberry_]

The City of Victoria should make it a priority to have Ships Point redeveloped by Rifflandia 2025. Bonus' to the contractor/consultants if it's done by May 2025

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

So true for all of us stuck at Tsawwassen.

[Justin McElroy @j_mcelroy]

remember those simpler times when bc ferries’ biggest problem was that the wifi didn’t work and the car alarms kept going off and the buffet was closed and the seawest lounge was closed and the arcade machines were broken

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

This could be permanent! Downtown for people.

[SDOT Traffic @SDOTtraffic]

Pedestrians walking along 1st Ave between S Royal Brougham Way and S King St blocking NB lanes. Use alternative routes and use caution.

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

@BayCordova @Eric_Doherty I purchase more from downtown #victoriabc businesses when getting to/from on foot is pleasant. Car-free is huge win for #yyj.

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

Why is this sign still here? Should say: Street Open - No Cars. Plenty of peds at 9 pm. #MissedOpportunity ⁦⁦@Spottnik⁩ @downtownseattle⁩

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

@slyfieldforreal @AvwriterJoe @flySEA @SoundTransit @KingCountyMetro Obvs. But it only serves “the spine.”

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

Is anyone at @flySEA paying attention to this? Embarrassing.

[Jeff Hansen @tbirdjeff]

#seatac what is up with rental car access? 15 min between buses and lines this long?

[CascadiaReport @cascadia_report]

@AvwriterJoe @flySEA @SoundTransit @KingCountyMetro Wish transit were an option for more destinations!
