Paris just dropped a new Pedestrian Plan. You heard that right - transforming the city for walking is the key priority for the liveable city of the 21st century. Walking. No new technology required. No big infrastructure spend. Designing the city for walking is the golden goose. #QuietCity #GreenCity #CitiesForPeople

@Dale_Bracewell @gastown @vpsn We are so overdue for this in Vancouver!

[Dale Bracewell @Dale_Bracewell]

Hey Vancouver, look what Montreal is doing - will we be able to say the same for #Gastown by 2024?

"Old Montreal will become a historic neighbourhood where the #pedestrian is king"

What could the future of Vancouver’s Downtown Waterfront look like? Earlier this month SFU hosted a panel discussion, The Downtown Waterfront: Visionaries and Implementers, to explore the potentials of extending Vancouver’s public waterfront legacy.

[Derek Lee @Dereklansonlee]

@DowntownCharles Great to see that this idea was conceived over 40 years ago. The groundwork was laid in 2009 to allow the busses to be rerouted on Seymour and Hornby - now let’s get the job completed!

[SFU Vancouver @SFUVan]

What should the guiding principles be for the redevelopment of Vancouver's waterfront area? Hear from special guests @HedyFry, @LanceBerelowitz, @Womanwhovotes, @Dereklansonlee at pt 2 of our Lunch 'n' Learn series on the future of the downtown waterfront. https://t.co/vhV9kgEqL4

Just so impressed with @VancouverUS Waterfront! It comes alive on warm nights. So many people. Excellent infrastructure/design. This is what’s possible when you invest in world class public space.
