    The city needs a proper community forestry department which would not only be an arboristry branch of city engineering but a planning tool for the city for all the new and existing development. If trees die in the city it is because we are not giving them enough to survive. And the maintenance of an existing tree should be consider not only as a carbon offset but also considered for its multiple benefits ranging from public health, heat management and storm water absorption.

    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).
