A pox on All Your Houses


Why is David Cadman the only city councillor with the good comman sense and the balls to decry the City's plan to spend $5 Million on a Granville Street Bridge upgrade ... solely for the Olympics?


The plan, about as short-sighted as any this council has endorsed in its sorry short history, will turn all neighbourhoods near the Bridge into polluted near-highways.


Where is Vision on this?


Where is Mr. Bicycle Lane Who Would be Mayor?


Where is No Sirens While I am Sleeping Please?

Just read the story. Buses I understand, but trucks? There are only 3 ways for North-South traffic to get on/off the Granville Street Bridge: Granville Street itself, Hemlock Street, and Fir Street.

The latter two are narrow streets that pass through a mostly residential area. And Granville Street itself has become the new Robson, full of boutique shops & full of pedestrians from morning to night.

Where does it make ANY SENSE to allow more traffic, let alone large trucks on any of these streets?!
