Well, this sounds suboptimal New study finds climate change likely to do $38 trillion in economic damage a year by 2050. (Total current world gdp is $101 trillion) bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Plans for a one-block bike lane in Dundarave got scrapped b/c residents would have lost parking on one side of the street. Kudos to @WestVanDistrict council for this brave decision, looking at the block it's hard to imagine where residents could have parked otherwise.

@amoralorealis I recently got a cargo e-bike which wouldn’t be a good fit because it’s very heavy. But it is a big game changer not having to worry about hills. One thing to consider is safe storage at your work location. Unfortunately, parked e-bikes seem to attract a lot of attention.
Getting to know Vancouver neighbourhoods better - walking and biking them. Starting with the neighbourhood I am staying in for now, Mount Pleasant.
@ABDanielleSmith @BrianJeanAB So it’s great when the Federal govt spends $34 BN on fossil fuel infrastructure that will certainly become a stranded asset & accelerates the climate crisis, but it’s the worst thing ever for the federal govt to help with childcare, renewables or affordable housing?

Guys I'm in a good place today
It's really hard to wrap one's head around just what a farce ABC created when they ripped out the Stanley Park bike lane. A sad, irresponsible, reputation destroying farce for a city that used to pride itself on being green.
Guys, it gets a lot worse than that. Somehow reallocating one lane to bicycle use with physical separation will take 15 years!
