    Thanks for sharing this idea!

    The city’s new active transportation plan will soon be in development, and hopefully completed within the next year.

    A big part of the work ahead is to identify the complete cycling network, and the type of facility that is most appropriate and/or feasible for different routes. In some cases (e.g. busy arterial routes), separated lanes might be the best approach; in other cases (e.g. lower car volume neighbourhood streets), enhanced traffic calming and/or further reducing car access might be more appropriate. Travis cited some great examples in the Netherlands where cars are ‘guests’ that are allowed in, but do not dominate.

    In all cases, the goal should be to make routes that feel safe to all potential cyclists, including beginners, children, and seniors.

    This is an evolutionary process. The City of Vancouver is already considered a North American leader in this regard. Current and future plans and projects (e.g. Cambie Corridor Planning Program) will continue to embrace this ideal.

    An ongoing process. Many of the City’s recent initiatives (e.g. downtown separated bike lane trial, additional traffic calming on existing routes) work towards this vision. The draft Greenest City action plan will support this idea, and include directions to help inform the upcoming transportation plan update and new active transportation plan.

    Dogs on public transpo. could greatly enrich both owner and pet's life. Also, since the option to charge a rider fee for the pet exists (ex: a reduced fee like with children) it could potentially increase Translink revenue - something desperately needed in Van!

    When I saw it in action I surprisingly found I liked the idea of muzzle because it took the human/owner guess work out of the "does my pet like every person/every dog" equation. Across the board, bites were not a possibility.

    Starting with the allowing of dogs on public transit during non-peak hours could work as a way to gradually and warmly introduce pets to public transpo users.
