    Vision Zero supports safety improvements on 16th Avenue

    On October 14 2025, a driver turning left from Willow St hit a woman crossing 16th Avenue with a baby in a stroller. A security camera captured the incident; the video is extremely disturbing and we don’t recommend watching it. The baby was fortunately unhurt; the woman is in hospital with life-altering injuries.

    Take Action: Renewing Vancouver’s Vision Zero Plan

    Vancouver is failing on its vision zero goals We all know at least one person who’s been seriously injured or killed in a crash.

    Let’s Ban Right-on-Red in BC
