Apparently, drivers drivers can ignore the "Do Not Block Intersection" sign on Thursdays. @cityofvancouver.bsky.social @hubvancouverubc.bsky.social @visionzerovancouver.ca
Note vehicles blocking crosswalk at Clark and 10th Ave.

Seeing this reflection of the Marine Building reminds me of my Mum, who remembered it being built.

How about legislating lower default speed limits and permitting more automatic speed enforcement cameras?

Hey @dnv.org this is a great sign in front of Boundary Elementary School, but you need another on William Ave where numerous drivers refuse to obey the 30km/h school zone.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc. Via @theconversation.bsky.social
Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

And at what speed do you need to be at to flip a vehicle like this?

In addition to being dangerous (crash, injury and deaths show that) the road surface of the crossing at 10th and Clark is terrible. Making it even more hazardous.

This is great! I’d love to ride by it and see it in person so what’s the exact location?

With RFKJR in charge, COVID will be the least of our worries. (But still a big one) Remember Polio. Not to mention measles.

I had fun volunteering at the @hubvancouverubc.bsky.social tent at Burrard Slopes Park as we joined other groups celebrating the opening of the Granville Connector.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.
