@stephanelbow.bsky.socialReposted by @womentcities.bsky.socialKits is craaaaaazy for tree roots in sidewalks. Can't pull my grocery cart over some of them they're so high, gotta go around.
@danielhayward.bsky.socialReposted by @womentcities.bsky.socialI spoke to a mayoral candidate in our city yesterday about how the poor state of sidewalks impacts disabled people's ability to live their lives. This is my soapbox, too, as it makes accessibility tangible - crumbling or shifting concrete, no curb cut, blocked with poles or merchandise = no access.
@womentcities.bsky.socialThanks to everyone who watched the Our City Hall Forum: Council Candidates Debate this week! 800 residents joined to learn who said "yes" to the six policy asks in the Our City Hall Pledge. Thank you to the candidates who committed to take action on the six priorities in our Pledge.

@denisagar.bsky.socialReposted by @womentcities.bsky.socialSoapbox moment: sidewalks matter. Like, a lot. Even in Vancouver, we have a long way to go to upgrade sidewalks so everyone can get around.
