In our platform, we announced an ambitious plan to create a network of car-free and car-lite streets across the city.
Today, we're announcing the first pilot projects in that plan: a car-free Robson Street and Gastown.

In Vancouver, on the front line of Canada's housing crisis, one exclusive, expensive neighbourhood is protected by municipal land-use policy: Shaughnessy.
@christineeboyle has tabled a motion to unlock Shaughnessy, and add badly-needed housing.

Vancouver has a brutal housing shortage. But for too long, apartment buildings have been banned from quiet residential streets.
This isn't fair: it means that unless you can afford a house, you can't live in much of the city.
That's why we're ending the apartment ban.

ALT Some cities are going in the wrong direction. Vancouver, with a bounty of natural advantages, features a long seawall promenade and a network of bike lanes built since 2008. This year, however, the centre-right ABC party removed a bike lane from Stanley Park, and didn’t include a bike lane on Broadway as it is rebuilt with a new subway going in. ABC instead prioritized street parking.

Weakening eviction protections is not acceptable. We should crack down on speculators and strengthen the Empty Homes Tax - something ABC refused to do.
Instead, they gave away $3 million of public money to very well-connected companies.
Completely agree! Here is what I found:
I interviewed 8 STR operators (compliance status unknown) & 5 of them had negative experiences in the past in long-term rentals with non-paying tenants. Consequently, they opted to STR instead.
When asked whether they would consider returning to long-term rentals with enhanced landlord protection/incentives, all of them unequivocally responded with a YES!
In addition to advocating for stricter enforcement, a pragmatic approach that is grounded in practicality rather than being overly ideological would address the challenges!

Thank you, @theJagmeetSingh, for your endorsement of @christineeboyle! Workers, renters and young families belong in Vancouver. Christine will fight for them every day she's in office.
ALT Jagmeet Singh, Leader of Canada's New Democratic Party, endorses Christine Boyle for City Council: "For too long, people have been pushed out of our biggest cities by housing prices. Christine Boyle rejects this, and has worked tirelessly to build the rental, social and co-op housing people need. To workers, renters and young families, she says: 'You belong in Vancouver'. Her tireless work and commitment to positive politics make her worthy of your support on Saturday." Vote for Christine Boyle and the OneCity Team on Saturday, October 15.

Without workers, Vancouver simply couldn't survive.
We are proud that we enjoy the support of @vancouverdlc.
Together with our city's labour movement, we'll fight for good wages and affordable housing for working people every single day.

It proposes to install speed and red light cameras at intersections with a high rate of crashes causing injury or death.
This motion will make our streets safer for everyone, but especially children and families on their way to school.

Thank you, David Suzuki! Housing policy is transport policy is climate policy. It's only by addressing these intersecting crises that we can truly address the climate emergency.
That's what our campaign is about - and that's what @christineeboyle has fought for since day 1.
ALT David Suzuki, Canadian academic, science broadcaster, and environmental activist, endorses Christine Boyle for City Council: "We are in a climate emergency and need to act at all levels of government. Municipalities are where the rubber really hits the road, where the impact of climate change is undeniable, and we all have to act to both reduce emissions that make it worse and deal with the effects we are already feeling. There is no one better able to lead on this challenge than Christine Boyle - she gets it and knows what has to be done. Vote for her." Vote for Christine Boyle and the OneCity Team on Saturday, October 15.
