Love the sartorial choice here. Trudeau's team is giving quite the Canadian badass aesthetic.

Let's also tell council we want our wild lands to stay wild, so we want houses built HERE instead of bulldozing forests for sprawl.

Please join the rally for housing options Feb 5th 4:00 PM at City Hall and stay on to tell council at 5:00 that we want our kids to be able to afford houses here when they grow up!

This was a messy 5 way intersection w/ acute angles, high speeds coming off the freeway, no ped access, and a fire station driveway right at the intersection. Working with the fire dept was tricky, but now traffic flows smoothly at MUCH slower speeds and community events are posted in the landscape.
