"Vancouver drivers are feeling anxious when they have to hit the road, even if their drive times are short." Well no doubt! Driving is inherently stressful. We have enough anxiety in our lives, let's provide some better alternatives to this one. 🚲 🚌🚅🛴 dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

In November we're hosting 2 (free) events in recognition of World Day of Remembrance for road traffic victims: a rally at City Hall on Nov 15, and a panel of crash survivors at VGH on Nov 20. Please see details and join us: visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/10/23/w...

This is why we fight so hard for lower speeds. Kids will be kids, cars are too large and hard to see around, and frankly our streets suck. We hate seeing these stories. But travelling at 20km/h, the child escaped with minor injuries. At 50km/h we'd be writing a completely different post.

Please join us for World Day of Remembrance November 15th 10:30am to honour those killed and seriously injured on our roads. This event will be a welcoming space for grief & reflection, and put a spotlight on the need for urgent action. RSVP: www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticket...

Every day that we're not doing the same should be a new embarrassment for our elected leaders.

Today, BC removes their 2nd driving test from licensing. Whether you walk, bike, or drive, look around - does it seem like drivers on our roads need less training, or more? We're not married to the 2-test system. But it's irresponsible to remove it without replacing it with other safety measures.

A reminder of the 10 year-one asks that 10/11 of the new elected officials in Vancouver committed to! We think it's going to be a very exciting 4 years 🤩

This election was about a lot of issues. But we're thrilled that 10/11 winners tonight endorsed our entire first-year platform, and that the only incumbents who won all scored between A- and A+ on our road safety report card. Vancouver made it clear: road safety matters!

Congrats to @ptfry.bsky.social , @lucymaloney.bsky.social , @seanorr.bsky.social , and the rest of the COPE and Green councilors who won their seats. @mikeklassen.bsky.social, we're willing to talk if you ever unblock us. The next 4 years are going to be very different than the last!

We are once again reminding @vote4abc.bsky.social that the city's 11% roadspace reallocation target is an existing city policy which their own councillors supported when it passed unanimously in 2020 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zMJ...

Watching in dismay & with solidarity for our friends in Toronto, as the province removes life-saving infrastructure. Also a stark reminder of what can happen in Vancouver with the wrong people in charge. Already, ABC has torn out one bike lane (Stanley Park)... (1/3) 🧵

... cancelled plans for another (Broadway), and tried to remove a 3rd (Beach Ave). Now they're promising to remove traffic calming in residential neighbourhoods, and pretending to be shocked at the City's 11% road space reallocation goal. (2/3) youtu.be/1zMJaKURCiM

At this alarming trajectory, it wouldn't shock us if soon they start suggesting tearing out downtown bike lanes. We can't afford the risk of another 4 years of these ideologically-driven reactionary politicians. Election day is on Saturday.

thetyee.caVancouver Parties Split on Making Roads Safer | The TyeeFrom traffic-calming barriers to safer streets, the parties have different ideas about how to protect people on the road.

“If we simply go with, ‘OK, some people are mad about this. Let’s rip it all out and never do it again' [...] Then we are not going to get to the other side of whatever growing pains there might be to a better functioning and successful project.” Great 🍌🚧 article. thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

This is a strawman from Dominato; no one at Vision Zero wants to abolish roads. But we're curious to know, when she says "we have to strike a balance", what's her acceptable number of deaths on our roads?

Reallocating some road space is a broadly popular move that just makes sense. Unless it's election time in which case never mind, it's radical Pete Fry's anti-car agenda. Let's vote these liars out.

visionzerovancouver.caVancouver City Council Full Term Report CardVancouver heads to the polls in October to vote for its Mayor and Council, so we’re looking back on how all the incumbents voted on road safety measures over the full 4 year term.

Today is the last day of early voting, and we're revisiting our full-term council report card for all incumbents. Link here, continue reading for our assessment on each candidate: visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/09/16/v... 🧵

Mayor Sim (ABC) F We couldn't imagine a worse leader for our city. Talks endlessly about public safety, and then votes again and again to make our streets more dangerous - at least, on the rare occasion he actually shows up to council in the first place.

Clr Montague (ABC) F Chose not to run again. Good riddance. Hope he enjoys retirement in North Van or Kelowna or whichever non-Vancouver city he lives in.

Clr Klassen (ABC) D Has a knack for speaking very eloquently and lengthily about a certain topic before casting the wrong vote. Had a single good idea in 4 years which he then actively chose not to fund.

Clr Meiszner (ABC) D The poster child for how the cynicism of politics can break someone. He used to care - we think. Now all he does is parrot the talking points of his party. Was the leading voice in making sure we don't reduce speeds on our most deadly streets.

Clr Kirby-Yung (ABC) C- Her most ambitious proposals (e-scooter pilot, Water St pedestrian zone) were undermined by her own lack of foresight and conviction.

Clr Zhou (ABC) C- Speaks a big game, and then votes the way the Mayor's Office tells him to 100% of the time. Constantly puts ideology ahead of evidence-based decision making.

Clr / mayoral candidate Bligh (ABC / Independent / Vote Vancouver) B- Not the best years with ABC. Much better voting record after leaving. She's an ally but never distinguished herself as a leader on this issue.

Clr Dominato (ABC) C Not the lowest score, but the most disappointing on our entire list. We've spoken with her enough to know that she cares about this issue more than her fellow party members. Unfortunately, she never found the courage to show it.

Clr Orr (COPE) A+ Nothing but good things to say. He's collaborated with us on a number of motions and he's got them all passed.

Clr (and mayoral candidate) Fry (Green Party) A His multi-year fight for reduced speeds on residential streets came to fruition this term, one of the most important road safety actions this council passed in its entire 4 years.

Clr Maloney (OneCity) A+ Stepped into the shoes left by Christine Boyle and has been an absolute road safety champion through and through.
