Provisional queries & concerns: - Clarification needed regarding the new Vulnerable Road User offences - Disabled cyclists need not dismount at crosswalks, but drivers only required to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks - Dooring offences don't mention cyclists, only "traffic" - No photo radar

"research shows that most children are not developmentally equipped to safely navigate traffic environments designed around moving automobiles quickly and efficiently. Yet we routinely build communities around this priority, leaving children dependent on adults for their mobility"

Distraction is the second leading cause of fatal crashes in our region and province. We hope that all candidates take that seriously, especially those from a party campaigning on public safety. (Video from ABC School Board Candidate Lina Vargas on Instagram)

We tried to do something in Vancouver but ABC voted it down. They put cars over children. Oh by the way it's the first day of early voting and the sun is shining ☀️

My current model for Quinpool is Saint Denis (Montreal). Having been there more recently than this pic, I can tell you it's even better now that the trees and gardens have grown.

Before and after image of Rue Saint Denis in Montreal. In both, like Quinpool, it has a wide total width and a low-rise row structure in each side with lots of shops. Before, it has 5 lanes, 2 of which are being sporadically used for parking. After, it has 2 car lanes separated by a periodic garden median facilitating midblock crosswalks, plus two bike lanes that are well-separated from the motor vehicle lanes with periodic concrete curbs.
