Posting to resume shortly

With apologies to our regular readers for the lack of posting. Work-related travel and other projects have kept us away from the site lately.

We'll be back tomorrow with a new post, although posting may continue to be sporadic over the next several weeks.

We're also a little stuck for new story ideas, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Either send us an email, or add a comment below.

I wouldn't mind hearing your take on Vancouver's EcoDensity initiative (http://www.vancouver-ecodensity.ca/). Or a summary of the SFU City talk on City Making in Paradise, as I can't make it on Thursday night.

[David G]

How about a look at ongoing, upcoming City projects in the public realm? Some projects could include the extension of the Seawall in SEFC, the Cambie, Main and Granville Street redesigns, the Carrall Street Greenway, even recent improvements to Commerical Drive and Broadway.

Also, a look at the 2008 Translink Transportation Plan. They are having a series of open houses, including one Wednesday night at Lonsdale Quay.

I come to this site for regular updates on planning projects, and it is the only site which adequately covers that. Future topics could include the ongoing deveoplments of downtown Whalley and Richmond, and concise refernce articles about aspects of Vancouver planning

[LisaB]

I understand they're busy constructing parts of the Carrall Street Greenway, I'd love to see how it's going on the ground.

[Dannyboy]

I'm also interested in hearing your take on the developments at the Pier in Lower Lonsdale/North Vancouver.

[S. Nieweler]

Continue with updates of developments along the Skytrain/Canada Line and in the town centres. Also discuss sustainable transport options in the suburbs that could represent a legitimate, high impact alternative to Gateway. This could include the planned rapid transit to Fleetwood and Newton from Surrey Centre. It could also involve moving the Evergreen Line to the cheaper southeast corridor from Lougheed Mall and splitting the line into Coquitlam and Guildford/Whalley M-Line spurs at Port Mann with large park and rides on the south side of the bridge. This could generate much higher ridership on the M-Line, eliminate the costly Evergreen Line tunnel and create a direct Surrey-Coquitlam link. The Lougheed-Columbia section could become an E-Line spur.

I'd love to see features about Vancouver's design aesthetic elsewhere as well - just to see our influence (if any) on the world scene.

With many thanks to our readers for your contributions - both in this thread, and among the numerous emails we've received.

There's some great suggestions out there, and we'll do our best to write-up as many as we can.

"The problem is there is so much debris on the roads from the storm [that] our crews cannot get to some places," Judge said.
which he and al-Maliki were preparing to sign,
and his vice presidents "for their courage and for their determination to succeed."

[URL=http://www.car-crash.us/]Car accident[/URL] and drunk drivers are the most pressing problems of our everyday life.
According to the World Health Organization, each year 1.2 million people die and nearly 50 million of people are injured or became disabled in car accidents. The cost of road traffic injuries for each country is almost 518 billion dollars per year, which is from one to two percent of their average Gross National Product. By 2020, the car accident will be the tenth leading cause of death in the world.
To solve the problem and reduce death rate of car accidents on the roads, according to World Health Organization, it is necessary to resolve the five major tasks: riding a motorcycle without a helmet, problem of road infrastructure, problem of speeding, problem of alcohol consumptions and the usage of safety belts.
In the whole Europe the death rates during car accidents has steadily decreased: in 1991 – 162 deaths per 1 million citizens, in 2004 – 95; in 2007 – 77. In 2007, the most dangerous roads in Europe were in Lithuania, where out of every million people in the car accident died 223 people, and in Latvia – 177. But still some other new EU members remain problematical, such as Estonia and Poland where the number of car accidents continue increasing.
The main reasons of car accidents are: the tendency of modern European drivers to constantly increase the speed of driving, neglecting the rules of safety belts usage and security facilities for children (child seats). In most of the Eastern European countries that undergo rapid motorization, road infrastructure development, the progress of security services cannot withstand the increased load.
The experience of countries with developed motorization, such as Canada, France, Finland and the United States, proves that to reduce car accidents and avoid the enormous social and economic losses the next steps should be followed:
[URL=http://www.car-crash.us/]Car accident[/URL]
• a flexible and adequate legislative framework for the organization of traffic;
• road infrastructure: to settle pedestrian crossings, repairing roads, provide the necessary number of parking spaces;
• pay special attention to promotion of traffic safety and clearly show the consequences of traffic violations to people.
The main focus of foreign legislation system, to avoid car accidents on the road and provide its safety is the violators’ liability.

what good is respect if you cant get a man with it? I am a female that has always been single, I think guys see me as the kind you take seriously and respect while all they are looking for is a good time. The problem is the number of guys looking for a good time far exceeds the number of guys looking for something serious/real so that means no dates for me!. .so whats the use of being a good girl when good girls get ignored?

sorry offtop!
