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

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.

Last December, 82 pedestrians were struck in Vancouver; six people died by car over a three day period this week. There are plenty of proven ways to reduce the risk of injury and death from cars — here's hoping Vancouver takes just one of them!!

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.

Horrified to learn of another pedestrian killed on Hastings in the DTES. This is the most dangerous stretch of road in the whole province for pedestrians yet the city refuses to do anything other than put up 30km/h signs with no enforcement. Hastings needs a road diet and real traffic calming.

The streetscape where this happened. No sidewalks, the only bit of gravel space beside the road used for more parking (despite massive driveways and garages at each house). This is a half block from a daycare and elementary school.

Can confirm. This is literally the most aggravating thing about being partially blind. You have to look really hard so a driver doesn't try to "beat" you through the crosswalk. And by beat, I mean kill you with their car.

West 4th BIA is offering free parking on Sundays for 2hrs. I'm sorry, was there an abundance of empty parking spots? Was THAT the problem keeping ppl away? I bet if you removed all parking on 4th for bus lanes, you'd have more people visit because they won't be stuck in what is usually is traffic.
