@fabulavancouver Greenfield development. Living in the CRD I am so aware of the need housing but as more forests on the outer edge of the region are developed I can’t help think “don’t we know better?” Biodiversity retained within urban areas is critical for climate and human sustainability.

@Anne_Hidalgo The #2024Olympics have been used as a catalyst to boost the city’s cycling network - building 34 miles of new routes in just 2 years, laying claim to be the first 100% cyclable Games.

I learned that @TransLink has a podcast, which is cool. Then I listened to Season 3 Episode 1 “meet the voice of skytrain” where they interview @LaureenRegan & she just drops a story about a special voice recording birthday gift she helped give my husband years ago #transitnerd

Nerding out (online) this Friday night w/ brilliant minds discussing public hearings, land use, and democracy. Thanks @SFUDialogue for hosting a very relevant and important discussion as new provincial legislation has quickly shifted planning process and decision making. #bcpoli

BREAKING... Vancouver City Council has unanimously approved the Indigenous-owned Jericho Lands project.

13,000 homes, 750,000 sf of office, hotel, retail, restaurant, and cultural uses, and more. Anchored by the future UBC #SkyTrain. #TOD #vanpoli #vanre

The best land use plan is a transportation plan, or is it the other way around? Either way we have to couple housing changes with transpo changes. Revitalizing rail on Vancouver Island could be good place to start… housing + ridership targets maybe? @KahlonRav #bcpoli #planning

[AJ 🚆 @alyssa_jayne]

Does the office of @KahlonRav sleep anymore? I can’t even keep up with these much needed policies finally coming out in rapid succession. Looking to other NDP offices to match them in moving from cars to transit.

@j_mcelroy Mr. PG looks so innocent and I feel like that must be some ironic symbolism there…

@TalktoARYZE The #GentleDensity in Vancouver’s Kensington-Cedar Cottage neighborhood could be a great local model for many built out cities, like Oak Bay.

there's a new best human in british columbia and it's 12 year old will from the city of vernon

[Justin McElroy @j_mcelroy]

A developer suing Kelowna after the city reversed its approval of a tower after it was revealed the developer paid students $250 to endorse it at a public hearing is a reminder of why more and more municipalities are talking about public hearing reform

A fun sign of how @uytaelee has made his mark in Vancouver's discourse are the comments under the video he made for the city
