I like cities where drivers don’t kill people, taking pictures of dogs, and fiddling around with bikes. Go follow VZV:
I keep seeing covered bike racks in Scotland. Vancouver should have a bunch, for obvious reasons…
It’s great! We should get some signs like these in Ottawa, and move away from negative framing like “ROAD CLOSED.”
It’s really great that the city of Vancouver transportation department lets cars with 1 person in them clog Kerrisdale and bunch the busses every single day. Nice priorities 🤗
From 2009-2018, 90% of new purpose-built rental was on arterial roads. How much do you think the policy changes you’re speaking of will improve that figure for 2026-2035?

I was really impressed with the overhead cables crossing the river. In particular because Richmond (BC) is trying to get the province to veto overhead cables for a new tunnel, “because they’d be ugly.” I think these look awesome!
Kinda fun to use a digital camera from 2004. Also looking forward to biking to Iona again now that there’s a separated path
