22nd Street Stn area needs help so bad ๐ญ
My proposal: make 7th Ave one-way with all traffic flowing to 20th St. Removal of the opposite direction would make room for a bus lane, allowing buses to skip Qboro bound traffic, as they could snake into their bus-only turn lane, or left turn onto 6th Ave

UPDATE: after four hours of hearing from the public last night, it got past midnight, and council decided to delay their vote until the end of February.
because when youโve been waiting 19 years to build a school, whatโs another two weeks?

Tonight, Vancouver council will have a public hearing for a school 19 years in the making
There's some community opposition to the project โ but there's also the bigger question of why it takes the provincial and municipal governments 19 years to approve a single school

I learned after that their was a crash on the Queensborough bridge, so I'm guessing a bus didn't show up. But there are frequently long lines, just not that long, for the 100 bus and 340

Transit: While CARGA committed to expanding frequent, reliable, and affordable transit on key corridors, including Vancouver Island and the Sea-to-Sky route, the BC NDP has delivered no concrete action that would put a single new bus on the road in 2026.
Today @emilylowan.bsky.social @jervaler.bsky.social @robbotterell.bsky.social announced that the BC Greens will not be renewing the Cooperation and Responsible Government Accord (CARGA).

The bus itself is pretty much standing room only at 1:45 PM on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Good catch! I hope so! I emailed the city to ask about this stop while I was waiting :)

Alt text: people wait for a bus under the shelter of a nearby building on a very rainy day because the bus stop has no shelter.
13 people got on the bus when it showed up after I took this picture, and about the same number got off the bus. Likely 25 people served from one bus arrival alone.

Transit riders wait in the rain for the #106 bus at the busiest bus stop in the city (700+ bardings per day) after it was relocated with no shelter installed. I hope there is one in the plans. For now, riders are lucky to have a nearby building to wait under.

A liberal government with the former TransLink Mayors' Council chair at the helm of infrastructure dollars proceeds to cut long-awaited and long-promised public transit capital investment.
What a boneheaded move for a government trying to address cost of living and economic productivity.
