I do the same thing and once a cop yell at me for not going 🫠
Three drivers tried to wave us through this crossing while blocking me from view for drivers in the other lanes of travel. Even if it's safe, I often refuse to go—little eyes are watching & she needs to learn how to cross safely & not trust that cars will stop. #yycbike

I live in a 3 storey condo building on a quiet side street that was built in the 70s, and I love it. It’s green and peaceful, but mere steps to the transit and shopping of a major road. Allowing up to 6 floors wouldn’t be a significant change, and would open this up to more people
Ken Sim and ABC have voted to bury Lucy Maloney’s motion that would have brought six floors and corner stores to side streets across Vancouver, unlocking thousands of family-friendly homes.

But it'll be smaller than planned, without a 50-metre lap pool. #vanpoli #vanre
