Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Hell yeah! City of New West is increasing its land inventory with the purchase of a large amount of car dealership property 😍 looking forward to seeing how this space so close to downtown will be used in the future 4282
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 11/09/2026New West Progressives are doing some great work in the AI Slop department 🤮 8164
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 27/08/2026A lot of the VIFF website right now, after festival tickets went on sale ... 103 minutes ago 120
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Carney must have seen PP using this line in all the CPC ads lately 100
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 19/08/2026The ginormous New West Secondary (2 block walk), Moody Park, Grimston Park, Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary (with more school space coming in the near future). Yet, it's frequencies consistently suck, maxing out at 3 buses/hour for 8 hrs on weekdays, otherwise half hourly after 6 PM and all wknd (2/x) 140
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 19/08/2026The 155 bus in New West really deserves more frequency. As a very legible (mostly straight) route, it hits: Braid Stn, Sapperton (SkyTrain Stn, retail district), Royal Columbian Hospital, Skwo:wech Elementary, təməsew̓txʷ, Queen's Park, Herbert Spencer Elementary, Uptown retail district ... (1/x) 5193
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 13/08/2026New Westminster Stn users are being subjected to the Metrotown Jesus Repent Man today 😒 160
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Seriously considering moving to Toronto after seeing and experiencing this incredibly beautiful scene in Toronto Music Gardens 😍 350
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Another day, another 13 minute wait for the 155 to get through the light at 6th & 20th in New West 001
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Yes we've had one under-capacity, unbought pipeline, but what about a second one? 040
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Look ma, no crane! 🏗️ There has been a crane attached to the stal̕əw̓asəm bridge ever since I moved to New West, meaning it inadvertently became part of the city's skyline for me. So it did actually feel a bit weird when I caught a glimpse of the bridge the other day without it. Thank you, crane 🫡 0100
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 24/06/2026So it turns out that a different (former) NDP MP is actually *taking credit* for this idea while Jenny Kwan roasts it 051
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 18/06/2026It was great to be able to meet with you last week, and then get this view on the way home after! Thank you! 020
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Hey #NewWest ! Farmers Market today! Come get some fresh fruit, a beer, a burrito, or a genuine, heartfelt, informed answer from the Mayor! @pjnewwest.bsky.social 090
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Although I have to say it's a real, real shame that generators are allowed. I was going to say it was a great spot to sit and listen to the performer play guitar, but this stupid thing was turned on as I was writing that. Ban them? Could the city run power to the parking lot in Tipperary Park? 330
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Hey #NewWest ! Farmers market today! ☀️ Will you bee here? 371
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Things are back to normal 🥰 (6th Ave bus detours are over so we're back in this lineup) 13 minutes, 1 block! 251
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Hey New West! Farmers Market is on today! ☀️ There are LOTS of nice looking strawberries looking to go to a good home 🍓 070
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 27/04/2026We also got the chance to sit down with Attorney General Niki Sharma and MLA Janet Routledge (both with offices on the R5 😀) to discuss this topic. @chellers.bsky.social 020
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 25/04/2026There's a bunny on the countertop in Hops liquor store 🤔 cc @caribbeansunshine.bsky.social 130
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 10/04/20264 of the coolest people alive are hurtling back to mother earth, currently going 14,000 km/h and accelerating rapidly 131
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 04/03/2026When a city budget is frozen, guess what ... things get cancelled! How many core city competencies (road safety) will be nixed by the time Ken Sim is gone? At least the Bitcoin idea was completely shot down ... 061
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 02/03/2026When a new grocer opens in your neighborhood 😇 1100
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 24/02/2026This is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. Context: 400 year backlog of sidewalk maintenance. Ever-decreasing road quality. 2186
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 17/02/2026A big celebration for a big old orange bridge 🌁 4272
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 13/02/2026It's currently 11:30 PM on a Thursday night and there are people in Vancouver City Hall trying to NIMBY a highschool that's like 15 years overdue 3413
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Sad to say it too me a long time to get to my first New West Pechekucha, but man what a first one to be at!! Time, menopause, @freshetnews.bsky.social , Light Air and a Single Stair @neil21.bsky.social , the freedom and fun of e-bikes, and so much more. I ❤️ New West 0121
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Transit riders wait in the rain for the #106 bus at the busiest bus stop in the city (700+ bardings per day) after it was relocated with no shelter installed. I hope there is one in the plans. For now, riders are lucky to have a nearby building to wait under. 381
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 13/01/2026This event is Monday January 19 and there is FREE not chocolate ☕ I love the idea of "the downtown's living room" (Nice poster too) 151
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 13/01/2026Hey #NewWest I am in council chambers and I will live skeet a bit again! 2142
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 07/01/2026What a first night (for me), starting with an excellent Iranian thriller, and closing with the amazing Paris, Texas, in 4K. After Paris, Texas the rows infront and and behind me were filled with whispers from some very young bilm buffs seeing it for the first time "wow that was reeeally good 🥲" 010
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Had a blast checking out the "new" Park Theatre after The Rio was able to take it over with helpful investments from Vancouverite and Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard, and others ♥️🎬 #goodnews 140
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 17/12/2025In March @movementyvr.bsky.social put on a huge rally to Save the Bus. The following month, Mayors and province came together and transit in Metro Van was saved from service cuts and a death spiral. Soon, we will finally have service levels that go above and beyond what we haven't had since 2019🥳🙏🚍 1134
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 10/12/2025Is Toronto finally having a reckoning over streetspace allocation and the fact that their extensive surface transit network is slow as hell? Stay tuned. 030
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 04/12/2025quite bold for Vancouver to keep this on some of their council letterhead after essentially voting to lay off 400 staff last week 051
Michael Hall @michaelhall.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Lots of interesting data and charts in this study. Temperature measurement across the city really highlight how hot Brow of the Hill can get, and the eastern portion of the city near Sapperton. 110
