Can we not start funding some new trains though?
I hope so! Expanding SkyTrain is always a tough battle but Translink seems up to fight for it, so we need to pressure cities to churn out more investments on these big projects. That’s almost certainly going to require extra federal funding so one more reason to show up for the next provincial and federal elections to vote for someone who cares about public transit.
It looks like to me the goal isn’t to convince drivers to behave, but to recreate some momentum ahead of election year. It’s already a big win just to increase election turnout among people who are already convinced we need more/better cycling infrastructure and improved road designs. Another big win would be to get those people to show up on council meetings, and just voice their opinion louder. Visibility for local advocates has that organizing power.
