    I agree that Vancouver should prioritize drinking water for drinking, not watering lawns in the summer time. Looking over the fence, the biggest crop grown in the USA is grass. (Not even corn, but grass). You can't eat it, and we export water from Canada that is tied into the bigger picture.

  2. Reclaim road and/or parking space to create plazas and parklets.

    This is acknowledged as a key strategy to better integrate cycling and transit. In 07/2009 the City committed some funding for secure parking facilities at Broadway-City Hall and Olympic Village Canada Line stations. The City has also conducted a feasibility study for a downtown bike centre.

    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.
