Superb report from @sightline.org: "Apartments Are the Climate Solution Hiding in Plain Sight" Yes. Don't overcomplicate things, just build a bunch of f'ing apartments.

Now is the time. Transit users in Metro Vancouver need a low-income transit pass before a five per cent fare hike takes effect in July. 🚏🚍 Advocates Aman Chandi and Sacia Burton write. #vanpoli

I think we need to stop asking residents in detached homes if they want apartments on their streets, and start asking people in apartment buildings on arterials if they would prefer if they could live on quiet residential streets

Pretending that opposition to the UBC Skytrain is rooted in anything other than class privilege and exclusion is allowing yourself to be gaslit.

I went on Denis's walking tour two years ago, and it totally transit-pilled me. It really opened my eyes to how transit is treated as an afterthought instead of a priority. Now I get to help host it! Come through! 😁

That section of Hastings already sees upwards of 40 buses per direction per hour in the AM peak by the way. How does that rank in the region for corridor sections with no transit priority? (and no, 2+ HOV lanes most definitely do not count as transit priority)

Metro Vancouver will soon have a corridor where two RapidBus routes overlap, and Burnaby has officially failed in providing ANY new transit priority. www.translink.ca/plans-and-pr...

Vision Zero was fun while it lasted but I'm really glad we've come to be more realistic and practical.

Single-door boarding on SkyTrain starts today. What do you think about the new service change?

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Today’s a reminder to be you and be kind every day. 🙂‍↕️🫶

People are still idling their cars and driving SUVs. Gas is too cheap.

I was out in the Burke Mountain area of Coquitlam yesterday and couldn't help but feel that an environmental crime was committed here. This is a direct downstream consequence of Vancouver's failure to allow housing and Metro Vancouver's disastrous regional planning that promotes greenfield sprawl.

"The increasing price of gas places a burden on workers. Government has an opportunity to help alleviate that burden by allowing workers the flexibility to work from home. This move would help reduce emissions and congestion.” YES, AND... It's almost as if stronger public transit could help here.

Everyone knows that some neighbourhoods are full of mansions for rich people. But few realize that we have laws that artificially reduce the price of those mansions for those rich people. We could change those laws, opening up a bunch of discount land to apartments.

Join me on a free walking tour: Sunday March 29 @ 2 pm, meeting at W 16th and Heather! 16th Ave is one of the main dividing lines of the city. Let's talk about what it teaches us about the roots of the housing crisis--and what we can do about it! www.eventbrite.ca/e/fairview-m...

this is so me

On Mar 14, join me on a neighbourhood walking tour of South Vancouver! We’ll be exploring what makes South Vancouver unique and a welcoming place for many, and how it can be even better with more services and infrastructure to support the community. Register @ simpli.events/e/south-vanc...

Propaganda i am spreading is that DOOR KNOCKING is the ultimate hot girl walk! WOKE GIRL SUMMER 🌞🕶️🚶‍♀️‼️💗

Burnaby mountain, when?

This is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. Context: 400 year backlog of sidewalk maintenance. Ever-decreasing road quality.

okaaayyyyy bluesky I have been introduced to the "for you" feed and it's SO MUCH BETTER! kinda freaky that the algorithm knows me this well, but I'll accept it because it really is for me~

I've spent years fighting for homes and a more affordable, equitable Vancouver. Now I want to take that fight to City Hall as your councillor. Go to www.PeterForCouncil.ca and join OneCity so you can support Peter For Council and help me get on the ballot! youtu.be/-d7WFFoqb0c

In March @movementyvr.bsky.social put on a huge rally to Save the Bus. The following month, Mayors and province came together and transit in Metro Van was saved from service cuts and a death spiral. Soon, we will finally have service levels that go above and beyond what we haven't had since 2019🥳🙏🚍

‼️ Calling all Burnaby residents! ‼️ Two extremely important reasons to show up at Burnaby City Hall today! - Myself and a volunteer from @movementyvr.bsky.social are delegating about the Hastings BRT - There is a counter protest to support social housing!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're still waiting for the TransLink survey results, and council's decision on the route is expected early next year. Send them an email about your preference if you haven't yet! movementyvr.ca/bby-heights-...

We're delegating at Burnaby City Council today in support of BRT along Hastings! Join us at 5pm at City Hall or watch online www.burnaby.ca/our-city/mee...

We're so excited to be hosting @thewaroncars.bsky.social podcast hosts Doug Gordon and Sarah Goodyear for a conversation about their new book, Life After Cars! 6:30pm, Sat Nov 8th, Downtown Vancouver visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/08/01/life-after-cars/

It's no surprise that housing in Metro Vancouver is expensive. But it might surprise you that for some parts of our region, transportation costs even more than housing. 1/3

omg some Olympic Village residents are trying to NIMBY the elementary school. They're citing "neighbourhood character" for why four floors is just too much damned school for their neighbourhood

Should this major transit investment duplicate existing service or go to a totally awesome neighbourhood where we can visit restaurants and dentists and friends? Have your say and fill out the survey today!!!! This will shape Burnaby for years to come. translinklistens.ca/bus-rapid-tr...

Transit riders of Vancouver, come to our bus lane picnic pls :)❤️

It was awesome collaborating with @tomflood.bsky.social on this project. So cool to see this up!

Next speaker Michelle @chellers.bsky.social . Cities like Hoboken NJ have achieved vision zero using solid measures to slow down cars. Many cities "declare" vision zero lack a solid plan to get there. Need leaders to prioritize it & follow evidence based approach, like today's motion.

"City leaders today still have a choice: bow to privilege and maintain an unfair, damaging status quo, or show leadership by prioritizing fair, efficient, and affordable transportation over the single-occupant car and the exalted parking spot." archive.is/cSWHr

We care about moderate transit increases through marginal increases in taxes! Woo!

To donate, please book at blood.ca. we have a national system and blood products will be transfered as needed. We need to replenish the supply over the coming weeks. It doesn't all need to be monday. (I used to work at can blood svcs)

By extension, enhancing transit service can be a powerful Vision Zero strategy. Better transit —> More riders & fewer car trips —> Fewer crash deaths

One of these BRT projects in Seattle has taken longer to deploy than the entire space race

"Severance" but it's about how people become totally different individuals behind the wheel of a car.

A non-exhaustive list of reasons to get involved in local politics - the results of some elections are decided on the other side of the country. but in a local election, the decision is made right at home

We'll only give you a sign if you ask!

“If you had to guess the leading cause of death for children and young people around the world, what would you say? Malaria perhaps? Pneumonia? Suicide? They’re all high up there, but no, it’s road accidents.”

You don't want a self driving car, you want good public transit

The @cityofvancouver.bsky.social says it prioritizes pedestrians, but recent changes at Kingsway & Dumfries and Adanac & Commercial tell a different story. These projects make walking less safe and convenient—at a cost. A thread. 🧵 1/

🚨 Bus Lane Alert 🚨 (Vancouver, BC) 🎶 Where oh where should the bus lanes be? 🎵 Maybe just maybe on the 99-B 🐝 The BUSIEST section of the BUSIEST bus line in Canada or the US deserves all-day bus lanes! Vancouver is considering a half-baked solution. Lets make them bake the whole cake 🎂 1/10

We’re at the grand opening of Capstan!! We love a new station. Come say hi if you see us, we have stickers. ☺️

This year @eugeniewaters.bsky.social and I put forward a federal petition to regulate vehicle size and weight in Canada. The response from the government is disappointing and very telling. 🧵 www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

missed opportunity to say "overjoyed" instead of "delighted" but the sentiment is the same, sooo happy to see this pass in New West and looking forward to what's to come. :) :) :)

Today at Vancouver City Council, Councillor Brian Montague (North Vancouver) & Mayor Ken Sim demanded that crayon drawings by children be removed because they might intimidate the gas industry lobbyists who were there to speak in defense of fossil gas in new buildings. You can’t make this stuff up.
