    Requires support from TransLink. The City will continue to support this idea, through measures including secured rights-of-way (e.g. the centre median on 1st Avenue near the Olympic Village). The recent Olympic Line streetcar demonstration was very successful and helps make the business case for this project.

    The draft Greenest City plan will include directions to explore pedestrian-only and pedestrian-priority streets in the downtown core. Potential locations will be identified at a later date (e.g. as part of the transportation plan update).

    Good idea! I agree with it, the more walking and stuff, the better! It would be nice to see more trees planted where car lanes used to be.

    This is a good idea! In Rome there are public fountains EVERYWHERE for people to fill up their water bottles and for just having a refreshing drink of something. Imagine no more bottled water in a city that has such an abundant amount of water already, it sounds great!

    I really like the idea of rooftop gardens; whether on buildings that are homes for people or industrial buildings, green roofs should be encouraged. Were the space used to grow vegetables, think of the benefits! Having gardens where you can just relax would be beneficial for people and birds/insects. Driving over the Knight Street bridge, you can see buildings (industrial buildings) on the the river front where a green roof would have been beautiful, but instead you see gravel and black tar. People are always saying that we should be growing our own food and all, so what a great place to do it! Also, the benefits of green roofs in reducing run-off water would be great and the water would be cleaned through the plants and what not. Also, having green roofs in areas of concrete would help cool the air and reduce the greenhouse effect that happens around cities. We can do it Vancouver!
