Do you also think the draft Vancouver budget stinks? Join us next Tuesday, November 25th at 9am for a diaper change-in at city hall. This city should be for everyone, babies included.

“But how can you move stuff without a car??” Folks may I present, the cargo bike.

Please let me not be the only one sitting down to make my child’s halloween costume at 10:30 the night before

Super disappointed to see council vote this motion down. The evidence for lowering the voting age is absolutely overwhelming. Combined with amending Lucy's safe streets on halloween motion to death, it's been an infuriating morning at Vancouver City Hall

This is just a beautiful little start to the full pedestrianization of Granville Island, right? Right???

CBC’s version mentions there was a vehicle but it’s not much better 🫠

Dear journalists, I am once again asking you to insert one single ounce of active agency or causality in the headlines you write for fatal car crashes

We have indeed imagined these signs, haha. strongtownsvan.org/blog/2024080...

Living in a multifamily building is such a delight. Can you believe making a building just like this one is banned on most lots in Vancouver?!

For mother's day I humbly request that we stop normalizing supersized vehicles that we know are tremendously more likely to kill children (like my own child, pictured here). Please and thank you!

Another new little snippet of fascism in the US, new order specifies that to receive Department of Transportation funding local jurisdictions should have higher than avg marriage/birth rates, disallow public health measures and comply with ICE raids. www.transportation.gov/briefing-roo...

A friend recently asked for my urbanist kids book recommendations which made me want to give a shout out to Miss Leoporda by Natalia Shaloshvili, one of the best I've ever encountered. Beautiful illustrations and a lovely little story about induced demand :) enchantedlion.com/all-books/mi...

School Streets are an excellent step to combating this issue and it's been great to see Vancouver leading the way on this in our region.

WE DID IT!! Way too close but huge appreciation to the ABC Councillors @lisadominato.bsky.social, @petermeiszner.bsky.social and Bligh for voting with science, along with Greens Fry and Carr. Extremely glad to see this fail.
