Every year in Metro Vancouver, car crashes kill 100 people. We can get to zero by demanding that governments design transportation systems to put safety first. http://linkin.bio/visionzeroyvr
Thanks @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social for having us on this morning to talk about the safety concerns that come with ever-increasing vehicle sizes. Appreciate the opportunity to have this important discussion!

Very sad to hear about a fatal hit and run of a cyclist who was riding to work on Westminster Highway today. A really dangerous shoulder on this road, Richmond must do better. (1/2)

We wrote this post in September. With 5 pedestrians killed in the same area, we explained how the road design almost guaranteed it'd happen again.
Today, we learn that another pedestrian has been killed at Lougheed and Laity St, the exact same spot where a pedestrian was killed in 2023 (1/5)

Metro Vancouver needs an organization to investigate every fatal crash and determine all contributing factors - not only what the driver might have done wrong (which is the limit of current investigations) but also how road design & built environment contributed - and to recommend changes.
The worst part of this story, after the death itself, is that no investigation determining the causes will be released. A child died yet no-one has any power to determine what can be changed to prevent the next child being killed. Because cars. www.nsnews.com/local-news/n...

New West @newwestminster.bsky.social crushing it on active mobility lately! 💪
This New West project checks all the boxes:
✅ Fully protected bike lane
✅ Vehicle access maintained
✅ No lost parking (I don't care about this but it's often the main concern)
✅ One-way orientation reduces rat running on this residential street
Should be the standard for all local bikeways!

This is the 12th pedestrian fatality in Vancouver - that we're aware of - in 2025. (23 total when including Lapu Lapu). Last year "only" saw 7 pedestrian fatalities. The city is moving backwards on this and our mayor is MIA.

5 people have been killed on the roads in Metro Vancouver in the last week, including a driver, a cyclist, and 3 pedestrians, one of whom was a young child. Each of them had lives, families and friends, aspirations and potential that will not be realized. Each of them could have been me, or you.
