@richardzussman How about a direct B-line from Lonsdale Quay to Parkgate? The current system of sketchy and missed Phibbs connections is keeping people driving when they could use the bus if the routes worked.

Canada’s worst fire season on record visualized using NASA’s GEOS-FP model and FIRMS fire data. Just unfathomable.

- 18.5 million hectares of forest scorched
- 5% of Canada's forest area burned
- Approx. 200,000 people evacuated
- A total of over 6,500 fires

@strobist I spent a week with him as part of a Giving Lens trip a while ago, so I can vouch for him personally, but we haven't really kept in touch.

@604Now The cats-eyes that are already used in some roads seem like they'd do this better, they need to be in more places and the paint needs to be refreshed more often. Glow paint won't charge well in cloudy november days, and we have a proven reflective solution. @NVanDistrict

If you are reading this, there's a good chance you live in a city - the majority of people around the world do! Want to learn more about what makes cities tick? #kidlit #middlegrade #nonfiction #cities #Sustainability

[DNV Fire Rescue Services @DNVFRS]

The current fire danger rating is now extreme. Forests are dry which means fires can start easily and spread rapidly. We need you to be our eyes and ears while you are out enjoying parks, trails, and greenspaces.

🚨Please report any smoke or fires to 911 immediately.

Final update on the Horseshoe Bay fire story for a few days.
-It's (mostly) out.
-Human caused, obvs.
-We got super lucky.
-The risk of something worse happening is only going up.

@NVanDistrict The availability of (E) bike loans doesn't in any way offset the massive gaps in our cycling infrastructure. Properly separated bike routes remain the most essential enabler of moving from cars to bikes for transportation, and we need far more of them on the Shore.

Woodfibre LNG is a fracked gas export facility proposed near Squamish BC.

We are a local citizens group that has successfully delayed Woodfibre LNG since 2015.

We need 25,000 signatures on this petition.

Will you sign?

@aYVRrenter @BowinnMa My kid is 12. He busses home from school either solo or with friends. Not having to deal with a compass card for him (to lose) is a game-changer. But yes, the age limit should be raised (or just removed).

[Dave Clendenan @dclendenan]

@JanellaCBC @jordanback @globalpope Even this is barely separated - there's ample room for a concrete barrier there which would actually protect cyclists. @NVanDistrict please do better, lives depend on it.

[Stephanie Bearce @StephanieBearce]

Can't wait for this book! @meganclendenan explains complex topics so #kids understand.

[Nora Nickum, children’s author @noranickumbooks]

This book (middle-grade nonfiction) is so good! Compelling, interesting, and it must be so motivating and empowering for young readers. I hope more find it!
