Green age daydream
Re: “Lets get real about going green,” Rant/Rave, Jan. 7, 2016.
Joan Chandran wants Mayor Robertson to stop building bike lanes and solve the homeless issue first. At the same time she wants a truly greener city. How about asking folks to get out of their toxic, stinking, oil-company-supporting cars for a truly greener city.
We can solve the homeless issue while making our city green. It's not one or the other. More bike lanes are needed in this city where it is possible to bike almost every day of the year.

Re: “24/7 rush hour on Davie,” Rant/Rave, Dec. 31, 2015.
I don't know, but the reason [for the traffic along Davie] is probably because many people are walking there. There are no bike lanes on Davie Street so you can't blame it on that. Clearly the reason for any traffic jam is too many cars.

On the Canada Line there are specific seats for seniors and for those with disabilities. I watched an elderly, obviously handicapped gentleman give up his seat for a very pregnant lady, while a young woman sat there oblivious to the situation.

This is an educational rant. To all landlords and landscaping companies, some days on my street, Barclay Street, I am assaulted by hours of leaf blowing by different buildings. I called the city about this and discovered there is a bylaw banning leaf blowers west of Burrard. That means the West End.
Next time some fool is blowing nine leaves around for an hour, call 311 and get them ticketed.
Thank you, now I am going to go back to sleep.
