City engineers are trying to convert the Granville Bridge from its origins as an eight-lane behemoth meant to be part of a freeway system – one that never came to pass – into an urban bridge filled with walkers and cyclists. The proposed change for the Granville Bridge is getting a push from the engineering department as part of the city’s mandate to lower greenhouse-gas emissions.
Mr. Storer said the changes will have almost no effect on car travel times, even though the proposed new design introduces traffic lights at four of the bridge’s on/off ramps.
GlobeBC This is a weird headline considering Vancouverites are overwhelmingly in support of redesigning the bridge and in general we feel positively about it. The image you used misleads readers into thinking that this is the design that is being rejected, when it's not.
GlobeBC I would take a look at the cycling and walking bridge over the Fraser River under the skytrain. It’s safe and easy to use. Not pretty.
GlobeBC lol this is a trash take
GlobeBC How is this ANY different from what we have now? And what we have now is FREE for the most part (aside from routine maintenance). Ugh, put that $ into more housing.

Canada grapples with challenge of drawing psychiatrists to small towns from big citiesA Globe and Mail analysis found that the country’s psychiatrists are heavily concentrated in urban areas, with more than one third in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal Not good. And it would be harder to convince them to seek help. And the rampant substance abuse seems to exclude no one, adding to the severity of the problems. Seems like a forgotten group. I am speaking from first hand knowledge. This applies to every profession. Nobody wants to work/live in Gogama Ontario.
