If the BC Conservatives win & roll back all the housing improvements brought in by the BC NDP recently, a lot of people are going to lose hope of there ever being affordable housing in Vancouver.

Add the Idaho Stop to the list of laws that make perfect sense, make everyone safer, and cost no-one anything, but we can't do because people not on bikes are jealous of our freedoms. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Interesting video about how our perspective on the cost of housing can change when we take the cost of transportation into account. youtu.be/_-TIGKNlKkk?...

Thank you to Pippa Norman from the Globe & Mail for speaking with me about how cities should deal with electric mobility devices and how the danger they pose pales in comparison to the deadly impact of motor vehicles.

"Lucy Maloney, a road safety advocate with Vision Zero Vancouver, said the dangers posed by electric micromobility devices pale in comparison to those posed by cars. She said she’d like to see policy-makers focused on redesigning city spaces, rather than keeping the low-carbon vehicles off of streets and pathways.

“The space allocated to car movement and storage is often not questioned. And often we frustratingly see e-scooters and pedestrians and cyclists set off against each other in competition for the inadequate space that is allocated to the safe movement of micromobility,” Ms. Maloney said.

The cheaper, more accessible lifestyle these devices offer some people matters, she said, and is something those tasked with regulating them need to pay sincere attention to.

“From a policy point of view, they’re good, and we’ve got to find a way of keeping their users safe on the road,” she said."

It needs to be made permanent as a key link in an unbroken bi-directional active transport route from the Ironworkers Bridge along Portside Greenway, through Water St, past Waterfront Station to Hornby St to encourage mode shift to active transport from residents of North Van, Burnaby & East Van.
