Does reallocating 11% of road space make sense? Depends on which ABC candidate you ask... And when you ask them. youtu.be/1zMJaKURCiM

There is so much at stake in this election. The latest announcement of Ken Sim and ABC would delay and politicize decisions for sidewalks, bike and bus lanes, inevitably impacting road safety. This is not what our City needs. There is Advance voting tomorrow(Sat.) and on Tuesday. So get out to vote!

A school board plans a school. A park board plans a park. The City plans the housing, the business permits, and the street in between. Nobody plans the whole neighbourhood. Here's the plan to fix that. 💜 🧵#VanPoli #BCPoli

Bad weather for a trip to Nanaimo this weekend. Hullo Ferries are cancelled. BC Ferries seems ok l so far. Windy out there. 🌬️ #bcstorm

This morning we joined HUB staff, volunteers, and families on a bike bus ride to Florence Nightingale Elementary School. The Ride-Along was part of HUB Cycling’s Streets for Tomorrow, Today campaign, to make it safer and easier for kids & youth to walk, bike and roll in their communities.

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor Anne Hidalgo, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’” #Paris

Iona hates traffic. On City Council, she'll fix it. Early voting in Vancouver's local elections is on TODAY, 8am-8pm. And you can vote for Iona Bonamis 陶思穎, and elect an honest to goodness transportation planner to City Council. Ken Sim probably voted early. Will you?

Vancouver friends! Second day of advance voting is today. In my newsletter today, I explain why Vancouver’s historic climate leadership hangs in the balance in this municipal election. And, for those curious, I share how I'm casting my ballot: sethdklein.substack.com/p/vancouvers...

I've been to 3 election events now. ABC has avoided public scrutiny at the mayoral, council, and school board level. Mike Klassen and Lisa Dominato did show up to a Cedar Cottage event - gave an intro and then ran away before they could be asked a question. They don't deserve to be re-elected.

Distraction is the second leading cause of fatal crashes in our region and province. We hope that all candidates take that seriously, especially those from a party campaigning on public safety. (Video from ABC School Board Candidate Lina Vargas on Instagram)

Same in Canada. Renters and most apartment dwellers' health is deemed expendable to protect detached homeowner property values.

One thing about Copenhagen is that there's tons of dense housing but you *never* find it fronting a busy road with cars racing past, which describes about 90% of the apartments in the US. They manage to make it feel tucked away, private, cozy. (These are all from Sluseholmen, my dream neighborhood.)
