Global News BC: Kitsilano business frustrated with ‘open street’ pilot project https://globalnews.ca/news/9820669/kitsilano-business-frustrated-open-street-pilot-project/ #globalnews #britishcolumbia #news #CityofVancouverpilotproject #Vancouverpilotproject #CityofVancouver #KitsMarket #Openstreet #Kitsilano #Vancouver #YewStreet #Politics #Economy

We stopped by the 34th ave #OpenStreet , which was... open to cars. And extremely full of cars. It sucked.

In other news, #PeopleForBikes' (yo where's your mastodon account?) top 10 best new bike lanes is out for 2022, and NYC didn't make it in despite the law that requires 30 miles of new PBLs for the year. https://www.peopleforbikes.org/news/the-best-new-u.s.-bike-lanes

Two reasons for that: 1) DOT only built 18mi instead of 30, and 2) what we do build is garbage.

The 34th Ave #OpenStreet gets a shout-out though; that project is still amazing in spite of city leadership (thanks to volunteers).

TURN IT UP!

This is precisely why I live in NYC. Sunday morning after walking a peaceful mile on the 34th Ave #openstreet we did some shopping at the car-free Jackson Heights Farmer's Market and my kid wanted to do Zoomba.

This is why you build places for people, not for cars.

Communities can't even keep their #openstreet open or their sidewalks clear of illegally parked cars but #NYPD just takes their ball and goes home the moment we ask for accountability. https://twitter.com/brianvan/status/1384649707985723395
