In the 1960s the precursor to the CRD recommended that what you see here--the Fernwood/Gladstone area--be demolished as it was "urban blight". The recommendations were not followed through.
Good urbanism isn’t that complicated.
Fernwood Square succeeds because of density, mixed-use, pedestrianization, and street patios.
It was created in 1973 by closing a mere 160 feet of roadway.
Today it has housing, restaurants, shops, and two theatres. It breeds culture and belonging.

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.
Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.
Better choices instead of excuses.

May you give autistic folks in your community the support, understanding and enthusiasm so they can feel the same.

The suggestion that there is no longer BC support the carbon tax is just not true. At the last UBCM, there was strong push back from elected leaders who represent BC communities. Where does this leave us with commitments to cleanBC? What about our low income residents who received the rebate?
British Columbia's 17 years of having a consumer carbon tax ended in the middle of the night on Tuesday, not with a bang, but with an air of resignation.
