Anyone interested in rapid transit in Vancouver has until this Friday, April 22nd (Earth Day) to tell Translink what they think about the proposed Broadway line. In particular, Translink’s asking the public to weigh in on whether they want buses, light rail or rail, and where.
Could seem like a boring topic – but it’s one with real and long-term implications. Detroit’s facing similar choices right now, and this YouTube video about that debate is a really entertaining look at the arguments in favour of rail down the middle of the road.
Enjoy the video, read Translink’s design study guide (note that the options being considered here are different than described in the video), and then make your views known (by April 22nd) on Translink’s participant form.
