Terrible story, our thoughts are with the victims; and at the same time we're also grateful it wasn't worse, especially with a vehicle this large and reckless.

(reposting because this is SUNDAY not Saturday!) Kent Ave is one of Vancouver's most neglected bikeways. This *Sunday* let's show it some love! Please join us at a Kent Ave cleanup at 11am followed by a brewery social. All are welcome, please share! Details: visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/05/12/m...

This graph shows two things, 1) obviously that the cameras reduced speeding, but 2) that the improvement kept getting better over time. Speeders tend to get one or two tickets and then learn and change their behaviour. This isn't a cash grab, it's an extremely useful intervention.

In the past 5 years ICBC has spent $4.7 million in road safety improvements. Last year alone they spent $410 million giving every driver a one-time $110 rebate. We call on ICBC to spend an order of magnitude more money on road safety. It should be their number one concern.

@lucymaloney.bsky.social brought an amendment to ask staff if introducing food delivery robots onto the narrow and overcrowded sidewalks of Kits and the West End will create a barrier to accessibility for blind people and wheelchair users, as the CNIB has repeatedly said. ABC voted it down.

If we can survive this we can survive having a proper bike lane on Broadway

Even whales aren't safe from being hit by inanimate vehicles in the passive voice

I think Vancouver's become too reliant on using unrelated roadwork as an opportunity to build bike lanes. I argue that it doesn't save that much money, does little to quell local opposition, and often fails to create network effects.

And check out some photos from the event! visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/04/22/m...

Thanks to everyone who attended our New West transportation Jane's Walk yesterday! If you missed it, the summary: NW is doing great things for pedestrians, cyclists, and the public realm. But senior levels of govt need to step up (vehicle size regs, speed cameras) for NW to achieve vision zero.

Thanks for joining and for all the great insights!

This is tomorrow! Come out on a sunny Friday evening and explore the best and worst of what New West transportation has to offer.

Have we mentioned lately that cars are getting too big? www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJp3...

While we didn't get the small VZ grant we applied for, it's hard to complain when looking over the projects that received funding. Some really good stuff here! Kudos to BC for having this program, we'd would love to see it expanded going forward. news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

"Over the past 3 years, adding speed enforcement at 35 locations led to a 52% decrease in drivers exceeding the speed limit by more than 25 km/h [...] Red-light infractions decreased by 13% and the number of repeat red-light offenders declined 29%." Automated cameras save lives!

Are cars getting too big? Is there any reason for it? We crashed the Vancouver Auto Show to try and talk to some automotive reps and find out first hand! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJp3...

NEW: The One-Hour City Conspiracy! “Here's the REAL conspiracy: Too many people are forced into car-dependent lives, with more health harms, crashes, noise, air pollution, social isolation —& less space for everything our streets should be giving us.” Thanks @usa.streetsblog.org #1HourCityConspiracy

We've been keeping up our advocacy on the Broadway closure and its effects on 10th Ave. TLDR: the number of stakeholders makes it complicated, but our advocacy is making a difference and we're going to keep pushing. Read more if you want the full details! visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/04/27/b...

Check out my latest opinion piece! Public transit can save someone up to $15,000 per year. There is no other cost saving tool at any government’s disposal as powerful as public transit. @movementyvr.bsky.social

Vehicle crash in Olympic Village underscores importance of protected bike routes

Maple Ridge is one of the cheapest places to live in the region because it's far from downtown. But it also seems to be one of the most dangerous for pedestrians. People shouldn't be forced to make a trade-off about their family's safety. @lisabeare.bsky.social you can fix this road.

It's a weird loophole whereby traffic/road engineers are allowed (and even encouraged) to engineer and implement designs that are known to be dangerous. No other engineering profession is permitted to do this.

Yet another pedestrian has been killed on Lougheed Highway in Maple Ridge. We make this post every few months now. We're running out of new ways to say "this will happen again." (1/4) 🧵 www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

Some noteworthy stats on road safety from the materials for yesterday's Vancouver police board meeting. Traffic fatalities up 25% in 2025 compared with 2024: (1/3)

Feeling down about the state of things? Looking for something to lift your spirits on a beautiful Friday evening? Come join us at the Art Gallery at 6pm!

Today is the last day to fill out the city's survey for this, take 2 mins to tell them yes we still want the bike lane we thought we were getting in 2018:

3. our bikeways are not safe enough. there's still a massive power imbalance and very little (aka no) protection for people riding bikes on streets that are intended for them i was following the law on a designated bikeway, but it still wasn't enough

this morning, someone *intentionally* almost hit me with their car to make a point they almost killed me. to make a point.

We're looking to chat with an Occupational Therapist to ask a couple questions about mobility scooter settings for an advocacy project. If that's you and you have 10 minutes to spare, please send us a DM or email [email protected]!

New video from Nic is always great, and the Crescent 200 is just such a joyful event all around.

If you see Ontario and Broadway looking like this (no cones/barrier out to deter drivers) on a weekday, please take a photo and send to us or CoV at [email protected] (We met w/ city staff yesterday abt. Broadway closure, and this is one small thing that came out of it)

On Friday May 1 we are hosting a Jane's Walk on the Best and Worst of New Westminster Transportation. Starts at 6pm at the Uptown Plaza on Belmont, the event is free, all are welcome! visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/04/22/m...

With the closure on Broadway, drivers are rat running along 10th and completely ignoring the modal filter on Manitoba St, so we tried adding our own sign maybe it will help 😭 Or... the City could actually do something? (Meeting with them tomorrow!)

This Friday is Critical Mass! For those who haven't been, this is a fun all-ages-and-abilities "protest" ride for better active transport infrastructure in Vancouver. Always great vibes and the weather looks beautiful! Meet at the Art Gallery 6pm, ride starts 6:30pm.

Last week a pedestrian was killed at Oak & 6th. The city says: "A study was completed at Oak St & 6th Ave, and a full signal is already warranted. However, based on our priority list, this location is not ranked above other similar locations.” They knew this spot was dangerous & did nothing...(1/2)

used to live near here; this intersection has *always* been hazardous and people use it to rat-run all the time; relying on it for a detour of a major thoroughfare is completely absurd, the design is barely adequate for local traffic let alone through traffic. should be calmed traffic & bikes only!

Here's 1 minute of 10th Ave. traffic yesterday at 6pm. We're meeting with City of Vancouver staff on Thursday to discuss the Broadway detour and conditions on 10th. If you could get one message across to them, what would you want it to be?

Our volunteer @kelseylian.bsky.social says it best: "There are many concerns previously debated, but none of them outweigh the safety of children walking to school." "If we want less traffic in this area, we need to encourage families to walk to school." www.youtube.com/watch?v=buQm...

I filled in the survey and so can you! tomorrow is the deadline, so get on that. headlight glare is bad for other drivers of course, but also for pedestrians and cyclists and other non-car travellers. tell them to regulate that shit!

Our council says they support active transportation and want to have safe streets for people outside cars but their (in)actions say otherwise. We elected a mayor and council based on this messaging but it appears we’ve been conned. They have said it themselves, they don’t want to alienate drivers.

The tough decision between doing what the loudest complaining adults want vs. what is best for children and society more broadly. Really tough decision!

North Van is choosing more parking over sidewalks for kids to walk to school safely. Shameful. And also completely counterproductive. (1/3) 🧵 www.nsnews.com/local-news/c...

Vision Zero Vancouver representing at the Crescent 200!

Don't forget to download the the Bike Lane Uprising App

It's an unsponsored chance for people to go to a very, very low traffic neighbourhood and ride their bikes. It's a 500m loop in a posh neighbourhood with a wonderful park in the middle. Families and all sorts show up. It's a bit of a quiet, fun protest about taking back our roads, neighbourhoods.

The Crescent 200 is tomorrow! Come do some fun laps around the park.

Days since someone on a bike was last hit at 10th and Main: re-set to 0 again. We have a meeting with the city about this in 6 days. Hopefully we can hold at 5 cyclist crashes (that we know of) between now and then.

The new Pine St bike lane connection between the Arbutus Greenway and Seaside looks pretty good. But it was pretty stunning to see that it was first passed by council in 2018, and construction *might* start next year, after 9 years of consultation. (1/3)
