Today on the radio @lisadominato.bsky.social claimed ABC passed the "entire Vision Zero action plan." She must be forgetting the part where they ripped out speed reductions (#1 cause of deadly crashes) on select high pedestrian arterials (#1 location of deadly crashes).

ABC Guts Road Safety Plan
Yesterday at Vancouver City Council, Ken Sim’s ABC majority voted to gut the Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan by rejecting safer speed limits on the city’s most dangerous roads.

For as long as I’ve been a reporter in this city the complaint has been that we build too many giant luxury condos in a few places and not enough medium density housing across neighbourhoods. But this week reaffirmed why that approach is so baked into the DNA and political culture of Vancouver.

Again, Vision Zero isn't something special that's only being implemented in Vancouver. I wish our councillors would do basic research about the benefits of Vision Zero plans for car drivers, before asking these non-sensical questions.

This is what a car-brained councillor will do: Pit vulnerable road users against drivers. Don't be fooled by what councillors are "trying" to tell you with their campaigning and messaging about reaching Vision Zero – see what their mind really speaks during City Council sessions.

I don't want to be cynical, I really want to see these barriers installed. But I'm not sure this motion actually moves us closer. The lack of accountability is jarring (the audacity of Dominato to blame staff for a situation she helped orchestrate!) These should have been in place already.

bettercolumbia.ca/2026/04/27/t... Our transit funding model is broken. Either funding party can unilaterally deny transit expansion. And of course, the Province decided to actively veto every BCT expansion requested this year, including for exact election promises like Sea to Sky.
