I was going to say, I haven't been downtown in years ever since those bike lanes went in making it a pain in the ass to drive there. But I'll be pissed if this drives all the Lions Gate traffic over to the Ironworkers.

Don't they have no legal jurisdiction to impose this sort of thing and all transportation is under the MOT, a Provincial Entity?
To pass this during a pandemic, when business traffic patterns are already changing significantly and the downtown core is hollowing out dangerously, what goofballs are running the show?

I don't live in Vancouver, but I think it's a pretty unanimous opinion that Kennedy Stewart has thus far been one of the only mayors that could have possibly made anyone miss Gregor.

It seems like a bit of a long shot.
I'd be surprised if they can toll highway 99 and 1a without having the province (and maybe federal government for 1a?) sign off on it. The province on the other hand will be pressured by all the other local municipalities to not let this happen.
But who knows. Everyone is desperate to collect as much tax as possible after taking such a big hit from Covid.

I haven’t driven into Vancouver since the VI thing started thanksgiving 2018, and I don’t plan to start any time soon, let alone the “downtown core”. Just another reason to call it a shithole lol (apparently an unpopular opinion)

Their reason is so called "green initiative to reduce climate change".

I drive downtown/broadway fairly often for a non-commuter to go to some of my favourite businesses.
Well, guess I'll have to find places closer to home now. So I guess their plan worked? Fewer businesses and traffic downtown?

I can see it now. This regime passes it, sets up the cameras and infrastructure to toll you. Next slate of Council campaigns on cancelling tolls. City wastes a billion dollars on setting it up and collects $100 K in tolls before selling off equipment on Able Auctions.

Dont worry guys, the city will spend several million developing this project
Then the democrats will cancel the whole thing like the massey tunnel
Step 3 is missing
Step 4 is profit?

So they'll bend to anti maskers and not mandate masks at city buildings, but they'll piss everyone off with this bcuz they think it'll mean more $ there's no need to go downtown anymore, great shopping, restaurants, attractions elsewhere

You're right. I didn't even see it that way. I've been driving her to work as I don't want her taking the bus as much as possible since the pandemic.
Still, even without her, I still have to work downtown as some of our jobsites are located in downtown.
