… reducing deaths and injuries won’t magically happen on its own. It will require a deviation from the deadly status quo. You’ll need to design people-first streets and prioritize transit over personal vehicles.
Translink is planning a bus rapid transit (BRT) service connecting the North Shore to Metrotown. A proposed route change would divert the BRT away from the commercial district of Burnaby Heights along Hastings Street, sending the route down Boundary Road. Apart from the need to bring transit to where people live, work and shop the most, VZV’s Michelle Scarr addressed Translink Mayors’ Council to make a street safety argument for keeping the original BRT alignment. BRT on Hastings Street will calm traffic and avoid the need for busses to weave in and out of traffic.
