Every trip in a car makes oil more valuable. It doesn't matter if your car is electric, what matters is whether everyone else has the option to get out of their car. If you're driving on a 5-lane stroad with no bike lanes, stop.

There are simple policies like these 2 that allow us to build faster, cheaper, and deliver housing quicker. Another one that helped is parking requirement abolition.

As one of the prep steps, I was fixing some minor issues with street names in OSM, and found an inconsistency between what is called Rivers Road or Rivers Drive. Based on some sources, there's only Drive, based on some other there are both, OSM says it's just Road. Wrote to the city, and got […]

This election was about a lot of issues. But we're thrilled that 10/11 winners tonight endorsed our entire first-year platform, and that the only incumbents who won all scored between A- and A+ on our road safety report card. Vancouver made it clear: road safety matters!

				buildingLevels = it.stories?.roundToInt(),

A bridge? A tunnel? A bridge?

The plan to replace the George Massey Tunnel, built in the 1950s, has changed under
successive governments.

And now, B.C. Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson said he will build a 10-lane bridge
to replace the tunnel if his party forms government after the Oct. 24 election.

This is a HUGE red flag for transportation in Vancouver. Ken Sim is vowing to repeal Gregor Robertson's 2017 delegation of authority to the chief engineer on road allocation. This would mean that every single bike lane and traffic calming scheme has to go to council for a public hearing and vote.
