- Faced with the choice between an evidence based plan to improve Stanley Park for cyclists, seniors, mobility challenged and businesses versus an old NPA grudge, ABC chose the latter last night. Welcome to @KenSimCity. All opposed?
- Weight of sadness. #kitsilano #showboat burned last night. major damage. Shows every season since 1935. #vanpoli
- wait. What? @Vote4ABC sweeping back multiple decades to double down on colonial, biologically dead waterfront, in favour of more cars and congestion. You’re gonna wear this ABC.3 years of consultation w/ staff, residents, public, stakeholders for a 30 year WestEnd waterfront vision: climate resilience, natural systems, sports courts, skate plazas, dog park, active transportation, placemaking,++ Killed by Ken Sim & ABC More cars and traffic though😕
- @ParkBoard tonight: Removal of Stanley Park bike lane now results in 50% of cars going 50kph (in a 30kph zone) as opposed to 11%. Bike usage of SP Drive way down. Bikes on seawall up. Pretty much everyone is losing. You broke this @Vote4ABC
- Last night, @ParkBoard did the right thing. Apologized to TGD2S community after emotional discussion. Shared some tears. Disavowed JKR. Will undertake concrete actions to rebuild trust. x.com/vangreens/stat…Vancouver's @ParkBoard will be hearing an emergency motion relating to hosting the Harry Potter themed event at Stanley Park at tonight's meeting. Board meeting does not permit public speakers but you can email bit.ly/4ntvlsX and watch live approx. 10:30pm pdt
- Your elected @ParkBoard Commissioners, who are far closer to the details, have sent this $16m car-oriented plan back to staff. It degrades Stanley Park access for most users and blocks Westend access to English Bay. @BrennanBastyo @l_christe @ParkBoardScott @VanGreensHere's more detail on the council-approved plan to restore two-way traffic on Beach Ave. west of Denman. Includes: ✅restored two-way traffic allowing for future transit ✅new, separated AAA bike lane 🚴 ✅new pedestrian pathway on the south side 👉A win for everyone. #vanpoli
- Devastating. 160,000 dead trees in Stanley Park. It’s no consolation that 90% of them are less than 20cm diameter. #ClimateEmergency Like this post if you think Vancouver needs a better public discussion about our urban trees. vancouver.ca/news-calendar/…
- BREAKING: City has paused all @ParkBoard transition work. 135 years of local democracy survives. #SaveOurParkBoard
- How petty does it get? Last week @KenSimCity did not get his choice of Chair for @ParkBoard. That’s cause the @VanGreens tipped the balance with split ABC. This week it appears he wants @Dave_Eby to abolish PB altogether. Waiting to hear abt private ABC meeting this aft.
- 🎉 Good news! 🌲 The Park Board has voted to put an end to Mayor Sim and ABC's $16 million dollar plan to increase traffic in Stanley Park! 💚 Thank you to everyone who wrote in to the Park Board, and to those who spoke at the meeting, your voices were heard loud and clear!
- Scott, the problem is that no one knows if @Vote4ABC is joking or serious anymore about bikes in the city. You’ve worked hard to lose our trust. Keep it up. 👍
- Growing flower mtn at corner of E41st/Fraser. On behalf of the elected Commissioners @ParkBoard
