“This is a map of bike routes in and around Vancouver. All routes in Vancouver are included. Many routes in adjacent regions are included - select a region in the Routes panel dropdown for more information. But there are plenty more routes (and other instances of bike infrastructure) that are not shown on this map.”

This is crazy wonderful!

Something else well worth a re-read this week.

There are parental responsibilities and the parental authority to act in a child’s best interests. There are no parental rights. That’s talk for the seriously delusional.

Stanley Park Mobility Study phase three engagement results.

From attending the last stakeholder session, my gut tells me this study is intended for a shelf somewhere in the basement.

Second vehicle I saw today in the Beach bike lane. This driver made a mistake, but the first driver deliberately went into the lane at Thurlow to drive eastbound against the one way motor traffic.
