    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.

  2. Encourage the use of existing greenways by discouraging commuter cars using them

    Traffic calming is an integral part of bikeway and greenway design, but there is room for improvement. The draft Greenest City Action Plan will include directions to go further with traffic calming and through-traffic restrictions on neighbourhood bikeways and greenways. This will be elaborated upon further in future detailed planning efforts (e.g. forthcoming transportation plan update, cycling master plan, specific greenway designs).

    A good idea that is outside municipal jurisdiction. The City will continue to work with TransLink and advocate for improved transit service, including higher frequency and longer hours.

    I would dearly love to see some version of this implemented. Why should someone who drives occasionally pay the same as someone who drives dozens of kilometers daily? There are details to work out, definitely. How does a long trip affect the picture, for example? Distance alone isn't a perfect measure, but it's something to start with. And just because ICBC doesn't do it is utterly irrelevant in deciding if it's workable.

    I support this concept strongly.
