    Agreed Apayette.
    I feel like there is a lot of opportunity for elective programs such as the above at the high-school level, but there is no reason to stop there.
    Sciences could include renewable energy/agriculture and humanities sustainable development.

    under review  ·  AdminGreenest City Planning Team (Admin, CG2020) responded

    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.
