Many city halls are deep in budget-time. Some are pushing austerity ideologies, and are ignoring the difference between costs and cost-savers/value creators. Citizens, PAY ATTENTION, and never forget that the TRUTH about a city’s REAL aspirations isn’t found in its visions. It’s found in its budget.

My column today, on how police departments' car-first attitude makes them say the darnedest things. Like "leave your e-bike at home."
The scariest part of Halloween is drivers — yet police departments blame bikes and kids
For pedestrians, the message is common-sense — wear bright and reflective clothing, don’t dart into traffic, watch where you’re going — but in its tunnel vision, the overall impression veers into vict...

Vancouver council member Brian Montague got very worked up the other day, claiming without evidence that Vancouver police regularly ask drivers to not drive on Halloween. They don't.
He was responding to a notice from @lucymaloney.bsky.social, which would have asked the city to do so.

In voting down this motion, Clr Montague indignantly claimed that the VPD "puts out a message telling drivers to avoid non-essential travel every year" and that to suggest otherwise is "outright false." Can anyone find evidence of this? Here's their PSA for this year:

You'd think a Councillor with a record of cutting services and delaying action on safe streets would have the decency to at least live -near- the community he's damaging.
He makes the cuts. We'll live with the consequences.

Just to be clear, the majority "in favour" votes were to an ABC "amendment" to make the motion go away forever by "referring it to staff."
I really, really hope the three progressive municipal parties will cooperate and coordinate in 2026, or we'll have more of this crap.

Halloween is the most dangerous night of the year for CHILDREN.
This was an attempt to use an existing process to keep CHILDREN safe, and ABC punted it to staff w/o offering an alternative.

Nothing worse than a party that refuses to acknowledge good ideas from other council members just to be petty and not give anyone else a chance for positive "wins". Especially egregious when the safety of children is the focus #VisionZero

Our neighbourhood would go bonkers for a block party. We have 500-600 children at our door every year. The neighbourhood has relatively narrow sidewalks, and a little more breathing space would be so welcome.

Plan to leave your car at home on Halloween Night (this Friday night) between 5.00 pm and 9.00 pm, and if you do need to drive, take it slowly and carefully to help keep children safe on the most dangerous night of the year for child pedestrians.
