Vision Zero Vancouver
Every year in Metro Vancouver, car crashes kill 100 people. We can get to zero by demanding that governments design transportation systems to put safety first. linkin.bio/visionzeroyvr

- What do YOU think the worst intersection in Vancouver is? Tell us why yours should be crowned the worst in our community poll 👑 May the worst intersection win!
- From @nicthedoor.bsky.social on the Lapu Lapis Day tragedy - "I didn't want to make this video." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qsrr...
- Thanks for the great analysis of an awful-looking intersection, with many long-term and quick fixes easily identified. The problems with this intersection are commonplace in most 🇨🇦 municipalities. Official crash analyses need to consider these factors, and proactively fix similar intersections.
- Love this idea, what road infrastructure in Metro Vancouver deserves a birthday party? www.timescolonist.com/local-news/f...

- Reposted by Vision Zero VancouverPedestrians who are hit by SUVs are 44% more likely to be killed than if they were hit by a conventional car, new study finds. Children are 82% more likely to die when hit by an SUV than by a car. In children under 10, the risk of death was 130% higher. Regulate vehicle size now.
- This morning, Ken Sim made a direct call for the expansion of involuntary mental healthcare in response to the horrific incident at the Lapu Lapu Day festival. As a road safety group, we'd also like to point out the importance of considering preventative measures from a road safety perspective. 🧵
- Vision Zero Vancouver is devastated by the horrific events that unfolded at the Lapu Lapu Day Block Party.
- There is a vigil today for the victims of the terrible tragedy that occurred last night. Please see details below. Our hearts go out to all those affected.
- Critical Mass is on this Friday! Looks like a beautiful one ☀️ Meet at the Art Gallery at 6pm, ride at 6:30pm. A fun ride for all ages and abilities!
- Really great to see the new intersection design at King Edward and Arbutus implemented! Much less confusing, with fewer conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. Left = before, right= now.
- 210 and counting!

- Reposted by Vision Zero VancouverHer name was Jayla. She was 6 years old. She loved her family, crafting, & Squishmallows. "Her smile could light up a room." She was murdered by a drunk driver, but she was failed by a city & a society that prioritizes cars over kids' lives. @visionzerovancouver.ca www.gofundme.com/f/help-suppo...
- We support the Jericho Lands plan. MST’s design is world-class: safe, walkable streets, protected lanes, and high-quality transit that makes car-free living possible. This is the design of the future-and increasingly of today. Let’s follow their lead and bring this level of safety to the whole city.

- Reposted by Vision Zero VancouverA drunk driver in an oversized pickup murdered this child. Her parents had to watch her die, as their other two children were rushed to hospital. The murderer fled the scene, though he's since been arrested. This is not an “accident.” This is violence. And it keeps happening because we allow it to.

- The good news is the BC e-bike rebate is back! The bad news is that only people already on the waitlist (and not even all of them) will get an invite. We'll take the win, but really hope to see this program significantly expanded. bcebikerebates.ca

- Movement has done incredible advocacy for transit across the lower mainland and worked very hard to help achieve this outcome. You should follow them if you don't already!
- This is great news for TransLink and for the tens of thousands who rely on transit - glad a deal was reached.
- Glad to see the new intersection design at 10th and Victoria! A much needed improvement to this bike route. We're excited to see it completed, hopefully soon.

- We've covered far too many incidents at this one intersection. At this point, any further delay to improve safety here is deliberate negligence on behalf of the city of Vancouver, mayor Sim, and council.

- Another day, another cyclist sent to the hospital after being hit by a driver at Clark and 10th. Still waiting on that promised action from the city.

- Awful news to report: a scooter rider was hit about an hour ago on the seawall detour outside Science World. The City stated they chose a less safe route for the detour, crossing the Science World parking lot entrance, because they wanted to preserve more parking. 1/2

- Reposted by Vision Zero Vancouver“A small amount of the seawall around Science World is deteriorating faster than expected, so we’re going to close off a giant piece of public space around it and create a 500-metre long detour that won’t be fixed for SEVEN YEARS” is incredible big brain thinking

- Far more important than legislating EV charging in apartments is building apartments with less parking, especially in dense, urban areas. This will incentivize people to use safer and more sustainable transportation options - transit, cycling, walking, and car share - and make our cities stronger.

- "Every preventable death on our streets is a direct result of leadership that prioritizes politics over public safety. ABC cannot claim surprise, nor can they evade responsibility. The blood on our roads is also on their hands." dailyhive.com/vancouver/ab...
- Wales’ 20mph (~30kph) speed limit saved lives—about 100 fewer deaths and serious injuries in just one year. Slower speeds make streets safer for everyone. Vancouver must follow suit. How many lives will we sacrifice before we take action?
- Whether you're driving, taking transit, biking, rolling, or walking, safer and less congested streets benefit us all. Lucy has been a champion for safe streets and we know she won't back down. Remember to vote on April 5!
- "Cirstea said Kaisers’ comments blaming the pedestrian for being injured are troubling for advocates who plan to continue to ask the city for slower speed limits and redesigned roadways to protect pedestrians."

- "For a party obsessed with 'public safety', ABC’s infrastructure decisions are proving deadly." Latest from us: visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/03/16/w...
- Thank you to NDP MLA @georgeandersonbc.bsky.social for meeting with us to discuss transit, intersection safety cameras, speed limits, and e-bike rebates. It's great to have an ally for safer streets!
- There's no reason we can't do the same in Vancouver!
- “Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.” #Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing even better every year.
- "Safety and being able to get around are not at odds with another. They're both mutually compatible goals." "What it does require is for us to collectively say … our lives are worth more than being able to gun it at every opportunity." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
- When ABC and Ken Sim removed the Stanley Park bike lane, the number of speeding drivers increased by 5-fold. We warned that this made the park more dangerous. Now, a young man is dead. Our leaders' actions have consequences. globalnews.ca/news/1108212...

- It looks like unfortunately we're going to have to add another $400 million to the "ICBC rebate" on this chart. Reminder that the e-bike rebate, which only ever received $6.5 million, is the single most effective way to get cars off the road & make streets safer. dailyhive.com/vancouver/ic...

- Really disappointing that after what was a wildly successful and popular Water St pedestrian pilot last summer, council has decided that this year all we get is 8 hours a week.
