    Point taken that adjusting costs of different travel modes to support more sustainable choices is a good idea. The City will continue to review parking fees to better reflect street value and market demand, and the Greenest City Plan adds a more explicit environmental lense to this work. Transit fares fall outside City jurisdiction, and there are multiple factors to consider. Fares are an important revenue source for TransLink; at the same time, it is important that prices are affordable and equitable.

    This only penalizes those who are not able to access transit as it doesn't run in their area...

  2. Work with surrounding cities and Translink to improve commuter transportation

    I couldn't agree more - so many people work in the city and do not live here therefore we need to help get them out of their cars when entering the city; this means more accessible transit to the suburbs!

    The City is looking into this with the new Food Scrap Program - they are looking for 2011 to have weekly Yard Trimming/Food Scrap collection and bi-weekly garbage collection.
