Do you also think the draft Vancouver budget stinks? Join us next Tuesday, November 25th at 9am for a diaper change-in at city hall. This city should be for everyone, babies included. cc @womentcities.bsky.social @claraprager.bsky.social @stand.earth @cape-bc.bsky.social @michellecyca.com

Heartbreaking circumstances met with awesome community organizing - this new #WalkingSchoolBus in Chicago walks 80-100 (!!!) kids to school every day amidst ICE raids that are keeping many parents home. Kudos to the moms organizing.

Important day today. We rarely get to hear much about the people who lose their lives on our roads - except that they caused really bad traffic when they died.

“But how can you move stuff without a car??” Folks may I present, the cargo bike.

The 2026 Vancouver budget risks imposing cuts to road safety initiatives that we simply can't afford. With so few details being released, we call upon council to amend the budget to direct that essential transportation programs and staff be protected. 👉 More: visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/11/12/2...

Listening to Vancouver Council budget discussion in the background this morning. In response to a question from @seanorr.bsky.social about where they'll be retracting from the city just said they're planning to REMOVE baby changing tables and menstrual product dispensers to save costs. Shameful.

Awesome event tonight!! More photos to come. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported!

Deep gratitude for the activists and political leaders advancing a Vision Zero agenda. Traffic violence is not inevitable. Stopping it is possible and necessary.

A fun first night in Vancouver on our LIFE AFTER CARS book tour. Got to hang with @tomflood.bsky.social @visionzerovancouver.ca @lucymaloney.bsky.social. So cool to see the Vision Zero campaign Tom designed on a billboard!

Maloney is asking Chief Rai how much it costs to investigate traffic fatalities. Rai says it's as much or more as a homicide.

The Worst Intersection in Vancouver winner (loser?) has been crowned 🏆👀

The audacity to vote down a motion about keeping kids safe on Halloween, victim-blame the kids by saying no one should wear black any day...and then put out a Halloween safety PSA wearing all black. Honestly. 🤦

Please let me not be the only one sitting down to make my child’s halloween costume at 10:30 the night before

We're incredibly disappointed in this outcome; this should have been an easy win for the safety of our children. Our response: visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/10/29/h...

Super disappointed to see council vote this motion down. The evidence for lowering the voting age is absolutely overwhelming. Combined with amending Lucy's safe streets on halloween motion to death, it's been an infuriating morning at Vancouver City Hall

To people looking for a home today, writes @dannyoleksiuk.bsky.social, it matters a great deal whether that home is built next year, or in ten. Re-legalizing small apartment buildings throughout our cities would create more homes faster. www.sightline.org/2025/10/28/t...

Kingsway and 8th 😬 #unsafe #crosswalk

At this family friendly event, a lady in an SUV tried to drive through the crowd because her daughter had to get to a soccer game and refused to do a u-turn. This is exactly what we mean when say drivers are entitled in this city. Unreal.

Fighting for safer crosswalks and infrastructure at Willow and 16th, the site of a recent incident where a driver hit a woman pushing a stroller.

New billboard in town 👀

This is just a beautiful little start to the full pedestrianization of Granville Island, right? Right???

SEPTA is already working with billions less in funding than other transit agencies with lower ridership, and pays more in taxes to the state than it ever gets. Yet the republicans say “Human nature suggests, why should I do anything to help? I don’t ever get any help for my region."🫣🫠

As our kids go #BackToSchool, never forget that we ARE the traffic that we’re afraid of. If more kids walked, biked or rode transit to school, it would erase a massive number of car trips each day, and our kids would be safer, healthier and better at school. HT Ian Lockwood. Spread the word.

Today Philly said goodbye to more than 30 bus routes, and is preparing for more cuts and service reductions, a 9pm curfew for subway, 5 regional rail lines cut..all thanks to our state republicans refusal to fund transit for the 6th largest city in the country. whyy.org/articles/sep...

Vancouver’s Integrity Commissioner has found Mayor Ken Sim and ABC councillors broke the code of conduct on multiple occasions for coordinating amendments to controversial motions in separate private online conversations ahead of public council meetings

Awesome to collaborate with you on this Tom. Vancouver folks, check it out!!

So excited to host @brooklynspoke.bsky.social and @sgoodyear.bsky.social for this in November!

This weekend, we met with @emilylowan.bsky.social, a candidate in the BC Greens leadership race. Provincial policy plays a pivotal role in street safety, and it was great to discuss some of the approaches we could take to improve safety for all road users!

July 2024 was the deadliest month on BC roads in over a decade. Unfortunately this July seems no better. Some headlines from this weekend alone. Our hearts break for the victims and their loved ones.

Dear journalists, I am once again asking you to insert one single ounce of active agency or causality in the headlines you write for fatal car crashes

On July 9, not one but TWO really important items are coming to Vancouver city council and we need your help. The big one: developing a Vision Zero policy and action plan, from Clr @lucymaloney.bsky.social 🧵 (1/6) visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/07/03/t...

you don't need 20' front yard setbacks for a high quality of life or good neighborhood character

Big milestone for VZV! If you appreciate the advocacy work we've done, or even just seeing our stickers around town - consider donating to help us keep up the momentum! We don't have any other funders, we are just regular people who care about having a transportation system that won't kill us.

Great motion from @petermeiszner.bsky.social and @lisadominato.bsky.social to increase the # of schools in the School Travel Program. This program supports kids in walking, biking, or rolling to school, and teaches them about road safety and active travel. council.vancouver.ca/20250618/doc...

“With this specific event, we need to take the question from ‘How can we prevent someone struggling with their mental health from committing violence?’ and move to ‘Why do we make it so easy for anyone to get behind the wheel to kill people?’” @calsneurons.bsky.social www.thetyee.ca/News/2025/06...

Living in a multifamily building is such a delight. Can you believe making a building just like this one is banned on most lots in Vancouver?!

A person is injured, the VPD have failed them, "expert lawyers" are misleading the public, and changes to the MVA are pointless unless actually upheld. THREAD 🧵

For mother's day I humbly request that we stop normalizing supersized vehicles that we know are tremendously more likely to kill children (like my own child, pictured here). Please and thank you!

Pedestrians who are hit by SUVs are 44% more likely to be killed than if they were hit by a conventional car, new study finds. Children are 82% more likely to die when hit by an SUV than by a car. In children under 10, the risk of death was 130% higher. Regulate vehicle size now.

This morning, Ken Sim made a direct call for the expansion of involuntary mental healthcare in response to the horrific incident at the Lapu Lapu Day festival. As a road safety group, we'd also like to point out the importance of considering preventative measures from a road safety perspective. 🧵

Thank you so much, everyone! This city is my chosen home. It means so much to me that nearly 34,000 of you have put their faith in me to be their next City Councillor.

@lisadominato.bsky.social any updates from the city? Would love to see this intersection improved before someone else is hurt!

Young people can't win. Stay home and play video games? Lazy, ungrateful, screen addicted. Gather with friends to ride bikes in the street? Police harassment or worse.

This is what happens when we detour one of our absolute best AAA infrastructure routes in the city onto an arterial road with nothing but a few traffic cones for protection. This is what it costs to prioritize parking above all else.

Awful news to report: a scooter rider was hit about an hour ago on the seawall detour outside Science World. The City stated they chose a less safe route for the detour, crossing the Science World parking lot entrance, because they wanted to preserve more parking. 1/2

I hope there will be some Major Obits for M. Paul Friedberg, one of the postwar greats of playground and plaza design // here’s one from The Cultural Landscape Foundation www.tclf.org/remembering-... + his Jacob Riis Park on the LES

'Fun' fact: it takes up to 27 seconds for drivers to regain full attention after being distracted, and that's just by giving voice commands.

We don't want to hear "the pedestrian was wearing a black jacket" ever again

remember vancouver's world class seawall? this is it now. feel old yet?

These crashes—and many more that went unreported—happened in Metro Vancouver just this January. Each one is a life lost or forever changed. It doesn’t have to be this way. Demand change. Call for safer streets. Because we all deserve to get home alive.
