Well, now we know who's running for the OTHER election. Local voters get five, four, or three choices on the ballot, depending on where we live. I get four, looks like.

Well, at least he wasted everyone's time and money.

Because they didn't know how to hook it up properly, I'm guessing.

It's seriously getting to the point where I'll avoid 16th Ave if there's literally any other route available. Too many big trucks, everyone's going too fast.

I drive up and down 208th every day, and every time they've extended the separated bike lanes, they immediately put up one of those vertical black and yellow road hazard markers (had to look that up, apparently that's what they're called) on the end of each section.

And every time they put up a new one, a car whacks into it within 24 hours. I mean, they're literally designed to be the most visible thing on the road, and every single one must have been replaced two or three times already.

The newest one down near 83 Ave got flattened, some of the others have been spun around.

About six months ago, I was driving down south of 72 Ave and heard a loud bang behind me, and someone in a little white sedan had managed to run into the bike lane separator, get two wheels up on top of it. They missed the metal hazard marker but I think ran over a couple of the little plastic tubes before they slammed back down. Pretty sure they messed up their car pretty badly, they pulled off into the next cross street.

Seriously, what is wrong with people driving up there? If they'd driven like this before the road was widened, they'd have wound up in the ditches.

The story suggests this is linked to the crappy housing market. All the contractors are competing harder for work, and since cities are always building something, they're getting more bids. I'm not in construction, anyone who is know how big of a deal this is around greater Vancouver? I'm really curious how long it might last.

I have no idea what this NeeDoh thingy is, but full credit to anyone who raises money for cats at LAPS and other local charities.
