Hopefully, it will go forward. It's another mode of transport that will augment the bus/SkyTrain system. Very much welcome, if it happens.

I have been advocating car-free Sundays for Stanley Park for many years now. It was part of my Green Party platform in 2005 and will be again this year. Taking a break from automobile fumes is good for trees and animals and people. Getting out of our cars and walking makes for better neighbourhoods and a healthier community.

How about mid-Main & South Main? Or Fraser or Victoria where there are also bustling weekend markets? One question is what happens to the Main St bus, which is a major route. Would they be able to get through or would we be inconveniencing a whole lot of people who rely on transit? Great idea, but why stop there? How about mid-Main & South Main?
