This barrier is clearly not enough - even just from a financial perspective the amount of money spent repairing it can’t compare well to the cost of a stronger one

Bad crash on the Lions Gate last night, almost certainly involving speed. Really shows the need to strengthen the sidewalk barrier - and to repair the several parts along the bridge that are broken. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Great thread. This story also highlights the problem with almost all of Vancouver's "bikeways" - they're narrow canyons between parked cars. This is 10th Ave, the main east-west route in the city, which Ken Sim called a "perfect bike lane" that negated the need for protected lanes on Broadway. (1/2)

10th Ave bikeway. A car takes up the entire street, with parked cars on either side.

A person is injured, the VPD have failed them, "expert lawyers" are misleading the public, and changes to the MVA are pointless unless actually upheld. THREAD 🧵

I don't have a vote in this by-election (due to living in North Van) but if I did I would be very happy to give one to Lucy and OneCity.

If you want an affordable city, where everyone is safe and where everyone belongs, Ken Sim isn’t working for you. We need leaders who are ready to stand up and fight back. That’s why I’m running with @onecityvan.bsky.social for City Council. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGcI...
