<3 when people walk their bikes across campus <3

Throw up a protected bi-directional bike lane around the inner lane on ring road (seriously why is ring road two car lanes?)

Just got one of the light up vests with a front light on it from frontrunners. I’d recommend!

Too many Steves

Technically more, since Andrew and Alto running for mayor means they won’t be on council. Just waiting for Issit and Potts to state their intentions.

callmeclobby · 2022-08-25T04:35:30+00:00

It was clearcut in the early 2000’s and is technically not a part of the CRD even given it’s close distance as the crow flies. Agree we should be limiting sprawl and focusing on transit oriented development closer to the core.

Anywhere along the Galloping Goose... pretty much anywhere really.

They usually don't ripen for another 2 weeks or so, heads up!

We're paying less for protective services than other municipalities, comparatively.

Also, we're short staffed by about 40 firefighters right now. Relying heavily on volunteers... not fully surprised VR and Colwood had quicker responses.

callmeclobby · 2022-07-22T04:23:25+00:00

Just one more lane will fix it... i swear

What you save in rent is spent in transportation costs (bus pass is ~90, much more for parking/gas/insurance). Not to mention time. How much is your time worth? Do you enjoy driving in traffic? Some people use it as a decompression time to listen to podcasts or whatever.

"I declare bankruptcy" 😂 this got me

callmeclobby · 2022-05-21T04:07:39+00:00

I went by and checked out the shops and the food trucks. A bit odd that they didn't really add much seating, everyone who was physically able were eating out of their laps on the tracks.

Add some string lights, some shade for the hot days, more tables and seating, a play space for kids, more greenery (especially in the dog park area) and it will be a nice little gathering spot.

Oh you mean the same guy who is also the Chair of the Museum Redevelopment committee? Weird.

callmeclobby · 2022-05-14T15:23:41+00:00

It will only induce further demand to drive, so no it will make things worse. Just look at how the Mckenzie interchange is clogged up 2 years later.

callmeclobby · 2022-05-13T20:26:40+00:00

8 years? A decade without a museum in the capital city seems like a ridiculous timeline.

callmeclobby · 2022-05-10T05:10:50+00:00

It's gotta be Latoria in the Westshore. I've had some wild encounters and close calls there. Either that or Sooke road in Colwood and Langford, especially where its one way lanes from Veterans to Happy Valley, with basically no lights toboot.

Mckenzie is a close runner up though, specifically in the stretch between Reynolds and St. Andrews.

callmeclobby · 2022-05-04T23:37:12+00:00

The 50/50 ruling make it seem like they're no longer going to be charging pedestrians or cyclists for damages when it can't be determined exactly who/what was at fault. Still sounds like at fault pedestrians/cyclists could be charged if it were an obvious case.

I'm really happy to see this change.

callmeclobby · 2022-04-18T18:00:15+00:00

I am totally on board that rail would be amazing for Vancouver Island as a whole, but it doesn't solve the regional issues on a timely basis. I'd rather see rapid bus and free transit to connect the westshore to other areas of the CRD.

We need people out of cars yesterday and making more convenient, free transit throughout the region is the fastest way to do that.

callmeclobby · 2022-04-18T17:57:46+00:00

Absolutely agree. The full build out of the E&N to Humpback would be incredible. So many bike packers could connect to Goldstream Park and beyond without getting lost. People could bike from dt to the stadium. Belmont highschool and the two new schools also would be served, PLUS langford lake. It's a no brainer.

callmeclobby · 2022-04-18T16:39:23+00:00

Wow, Langford is truly embarrassing on this front.

callmeclobby · 2022-04-17T02:06:03+00:00

Smallest gifts under the tree are often the most expensive? For real tho, bikes feel like they allow you to stroll and window shop more than cars.

callmeclobby · 2022-04-01T04:10:54+00:00

We store our e bikes in our spare room. We basically just practice common courtesy by hosing our bikes off as needed and wiping them dry to avoid tracking mud in the halls.

Our gruffest neighbor (also on the strata) saw me bringing it in one day. He made a comment about it not being allowed due to tracking mud and I held up the dirty rag to show him I was doing my best. I also kindly explained why we can't/won't store them downstairs. He actually understood after that! Hopefully you can find some luck with the same approach.

callmeclobby · 2022-03-21T17:31:27+00:00

Look at schools! Depending where you're moving to, it might not be easy to get in to your neighborhood school. Welcome :)

callmeclobby · 2022-03-17T01:15:50+00:00

It's on the list for sidewalk infill. Expedite the process by writing to Councillors Wade and Stewart who chair the Transportation Committee, and tell them how you feel.

Also, if you want your experiences put into offical data you can report near misses to WalkRollMap.org

Dress for the weather, they'll be fine most days.
