Keep the Calming Petition - Ken Sim proposing to remove traffic calming on Adanac and Hastings Sunrise

https://c.org/2tLpPnrGmy

Hastings-Sunrise residents have started a petition to keep the neighborhood traffic calming (while fixing the problem spots). These measures are pretty significant for the thousands of people riding Adanac and Ironworkers through the neighborhood every day.

Ken Sim and ABC are citing the older anti-barrier petition to justify removing barriers and increasing council control over street changes if re-elected. I’m concerned this could make future cycling and road safety improvements harder to deliver citywide.

General Alley shortcuts and drivers bypassing barriers need fixing, but those are problems that can be solved while keeping safer routes. If you live nearby or ride through the area, please sign and share:

Keep the calming. Fix the problems.

Road Cycling in Whistler is underrated

Whistler is underrated for road cycling!
There are loads of good road riding routes IMO. Lived here 20 years as a road rider. Lots of good long climbing options. The hwy 99 connects them and has a mostly wide, smooth and regularly cycled shoulder… mostly. There are some crappy sections but they don’t last long.

Within the whistler municipality the hwy 99 shoulder is fantastic. To and from Squamish it’s also really good. Most of the way to Pemberton it is good but has a few crappy sections. The highway is regularly cycled both up and down between Squam and Pemberton. Anyone visiting in future can look me up if they want routes or a riding partner. Check my strava for ideas.

Perfect Vancouver Cycling Jacket

I'd love some feedback for what you feel is the best jacket to get you through the winter here in YVR. I have a gravel bike, I do one long ride per week plus other smaller rides. I do trails, gravel, and road cycling. And I would rather be more on the warm side than the cold side. I'd love recommendations that will keep me dry and motivated during the large number of wet months ahead. Thanks in advance!

Flowers Under Grandville Bridge

Thanks to random chance of nature or a guerrilla gardener who deposited wildflower seeds along pacific near the Grandville bridge, after biking up from Hastings going past them is refreshing.
