'It's practical common sense': Metro Vancouver can't solve cost-of-living crisis without addressing the cost of getting around

For several suburban areas, people spend more on commuting than on housing

Congratulations to former Mayors’ Council Chair, Gregor Robertson, on your appointment as Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada. A huge accomplishment. As you can imagine, we have some ideas for your new gig!

Mayors’ Council chair Brad West says that “noted left-wing premier Doug Ford” funds infrastructure for Toronto transit at twice the per capita rate as the B.C. government does for TransLink. the line gets laughs but the canada proud comment section might agree

*We still have work to do*. The Access for Everyone Plan is NOT fully funded & this IP only puts off our structural deficit for 2 more years. We need a new funding model, and a new funding tool, & that will be the centre of the work of the Mayors Council in the year ahead. 4/4 accessforeveryone.ca

I am excited that the @translink.ca Board and @mayorscouncil.bsky.social both unanimously ratified a new Investment plan today. It's not the perfect plan, and every compromise in it reflects the challenges of the negotiations that occurred between the Mayors & the Provincial Government... 1/n

British Columbia has lost an incredible advocate and a fighter for justice in the passing of Dan Coulter. We will keep Dan and his family in our hearts and remember him in the work that we do.

We have a meeting tomorrow, and the agenda is posted. We will be discussing the new projects and services planned for the first phase of our Access for Everyone Plan which is set to be approved in April 2025 (once we have addressed our structural deficit). www.translink.ca/-/media/tran...
