The Done Deal is Coming Undone - We Demand Transit First, Not Freeways
Faced with the twin meltdown of climate and economy, the Premier and the Prime Minister seem intent to drive us over the edge by refusing to rethink the Gateway Project.
I want Translink to be accountable to its ridership. The price of public transit is not on par with the service we receive at all. Hardest hit are those in poverty, through all are affected. It's time for change.
FREE OF CHARGE. FREE OF BORING CORPORATE STUFF. FREE OF CARS.
Last year's first-ever Car-Free Commercial Drive Festival gave around 24,000 people a glimpse of urban paradise: One glorious free-for-all street party thrown BY the people of East Van, FOR the people of East Van. It's time once again to reclaim our streets – FOR FUN.
This landmark grass-roots phenomenon features the notorious East Van Chopperfest (with pedal-powered soundsystem), roving artists and performers of all flavours, spontaneous peculiar occurrences, a Soap Box for speechifying, Commercial Drive Merchant Market, organization info tables, Special Kidzone, the Cooperative Way, street hockey, tons of babies and dogs, more crazy bikes than you can shake a stick at, and general merry mayhem.
Three perfomance stages include the Grandview Live Stage boasting an eclectic mix of local performers; the Tribal Harmonix Streatbeat Stage featuring Vancouver's best dj's and mc's shaking it down; and the Home-Word Stage dishing up spokenword, storytelling, slam poetry and audience activation.
PLEASE DON'T DRIVE TO THE DRIVE! Parking is VERY limited. Ride, walk, or take transit.
