Every year in Metro Vancouver, car crashes kill 100 people. We can get to zero by demanding governments design transportation systems to put safety first. http://linkin.bio/visionzeroyvr

FICTION: @petermeiszner.bsky.social claimed the Vision Zero plan would lower the speed on "streets like Boundary Rd, Clark, Knight St."
FACT: The report clearly references streets with "high pedestrian activity" and "busy shopping streets."
Did Peter even read the report before gutting it?
Shameful

We have a lot of thoughts about last night's vote. We're thrilled that 4/5 of the Vision Zero Action Plan passed, and grateful to the hundreds of you who wrote in support.
But we're also dismayed that ABC stripped out the most important measure. Read more:

The actual plan, which we're sure none of them read, was to reduce speeds on select arterials with high commercial and pedestrian volume. Streets like Denman, Main, or Commercial Drive. These are the streets where 93% of road fatalities occur.
Yesterday at Vancouver City Council, Ken Sim’s ABC majority voted to gut the Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan by rejecting safer speed limits on the city’s most dangerous roads.

In the past 3 weeks ABC has tweeted about " #publicsafety " 16 times. Yesterday they voted against a critical, data-driven measure that would objectively save lives.
12 pedestrians were killed on Vancouver streets last year, the most in almost 2 decades.
Sim and ABC don't care about your safety.

This will go down as one of the most shameful votes from ABC during their term.
All of the councilors in favour of Peter Meiszner's amendment will have blood on their hands.
Shame!
They really have no excuse because traffic engineers and transportation experts explained clearly to them how this intervention would save lives. They simply don't care. Re-election is more important to them than your life.
