I don't know why I even bother anymore. This is a reply I got from a different 311 request. The options are "get literally hundreds of people to sign a petition to pay more in taxes" or "call the police to show up for half an hour."

Vancouver: “report things to 311, it’ll help us gel you”

Me: reports that a green has no traffic calming on it and is being used to rat run

Vancouver: *waits 40 days*

Vancouver: “service completed”

Me: what? Nothing was done

Honestly surprised that I c e isn’t getting its members to wear dark blue coats with hoodies to go with their rifles and calling themselves guardians.

I suppose we can we thank for the space force from stopping them from using that name.

unrelated to the rupert/kerr lanes- this request of the city was over 40 business days ago. @cityofvancouver.bsky.social

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social enjoy!- the view coming across the bridge was way better.

South Vancouver could have much more of the waterfront accessible if it wanted to. Instead we’ve we’ve effectively privatized waterfront for some industrial owners who aren’t even using it to access the water(for industrial uses). Like this-

10 million for two blocks. Meanwhile the city can’t figure out how to fund 3 million for a heavily watered down project in south Vancouver. And you’re telling me there’s no bias?

Take off.

Ah yes the PNE where you observe the pinnacle of wood design and “how has it not fallen down yet” design.

Basic wayfinding signage is too hard for @cityofvancouver.bsky.social to put up on the arbutus greenway to connect it to the Masumi Mitsui greenway apparently. #vanpoli #bikeyvr

I tweeted this in the dark place, but I wanted to share it here, because it's legitimately an issue of equity that the park board is ostensibly trying to fix, but keep seeming to fail at it.

Selling two of these for 200 Canadian each- measures about 12x20inches

I firmly believe where trades companies park their vehicles is a statement on their company values.

There was no construction in the area where this was parked. @cityofnorthvan.bsky.social #cobraelectric #bikeyvr

Hey @cityofnorthvan.bsky.social I waited for 15 minutes at 2nd and marine trying to cross marine to get to the bike route on 2nd. I think your electrical crews messed something up when they were working here a few days ago. #bikeyvr I had pressed the button quite a few times before this too.
