ABC isn't on here but they're over on the other site spreading misinformation about the VZ Action Plan, and also making it abundantly clear that they are choosing driver speed over human life. (1/3)
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?
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.
BREAKING: Mayor Ken Sim's ABC majority voted not to reduce speed limits on major roads, despite 93% of all road fatalities in Vancouver happening on arterials. This was one of the most important Near-Term Actions in the entire plan, because roads will never be safe until people drive at safe speeds.
Amendment; "With the exception of reducing speeds." Amendment guts the the easiest way we can save lives. Voting against the data. Fuck this shit. ABC are cowards.
