    TransLink is currently leading a study to determine the best approach to deliver high-capacity, fast, frequent, and reliable rapid transit for the Broadway Corridor from Commercial Drive to UBC. A number of technologies and alignment options are being considered, including rail rapid transit (e.g. SkyTrain), surface light rail transit, and bus rapid transit.

    The City of Vancouver is directly involved as a partner agency in the study. In April 2010, City Council endorsed ten principles to guide City input into this process (http://vancouver/ubcline/principles).

    The City supports Metro Vancouver’s plans to ban food scraps from the incinerator and landfills by 2015. The City will collaborate with Metro Vancouver to develop and implement a plan to ensure apartments, condos, businesses and institutions have access to food scraps collection programs before the ban comes into effect.

    This is the most innovative idea to improve transit use I have ever seen! I love it!

    I made a trip plan from my office to my home; it involved walking a kilometer, catching a bus, and transferring to SkyTrain. But here's the thing: my office is already *at the SkyTrain*. At this point, I'm 27 minutes and 4km into my trip and for some reason it's routed me in a circle *back to my office*. I have to stay on the SkyTrain and make one more transfer to make it home. The only other plans it came up with were equally as inefficent and required a three-zone fare instead of two.

    Google, on the other hand, came up with a plan that was half an hour shorter than any of TransLink's and only involved one single transfer.

    Canada Post will already honour signs posted on your mailbox that say "No Bulk Mail". If you get unwanted mail that is addressed to you, Canada Post is required to deliver it. However, if it has a return address, simply cross out your address, write RTS (Return To Sender) on it, and drop it back in a mailbox. Many marketing companies will remove your address from their mailing list, since they have to pay when materials are returned.
