Mayor Sim and ABC have shown time after time that they’re not willing to challenge the status quo to achieve real reductions in deaths and injuries on our roads. Their abysmal record on traffic safety includes the following: Voted against bike lanes on Broadway, which is causing headaches for the redevelopment of Vancouver General Hospital and its impact on the 10th Avenue cycling route Disappeared an intersection safety cameras motion that would have given us an extra hundred safety cameras at Vancouver’s most dangerous intersections. Disappeared my Halloween Safe Streets motion. Abandoned Councillors’ Boyle and Bligh's truck sideguards motion. Voted against reducing the speed limit on Cornwall Avenue in Kitsilano to 30 km/hr. Reduce the Water Street pedestrian plaza to Sundays only - it’s not even operating during FIFA due to budget cuts.

Message from Shaw V: "There's only one game in town, which is social pressure. Every version of this primary idea ends up at the same place: pressure to withdraw for the greater good, and an offramp that makes it appealing (ie run for council instead) - with time to get off the ballot For decision on limiting, we don't really need one. We just need to keep the total amount of candidates around 12-15. Then we run a campaign, and we elect a progressive majority. Like the by-election except with more seats. Over-cooking the ballot down to 10 just means the parties are unecessarily accountable to eachothers reputations. We don't need to mutually endorse. And yes, polling is limited but is broadly instructive. If there was sufficient trust between parties, we could also use other metrics. But honestly I think that unironically "vibes" is a useful measure. For example, when I walk down the street with Sean or Pete, people tell them to run for Mayor. It's palpable. Is it the basis of an objective and data based withdrawal? Not really... But is it a meaningful point of data that campaigns could consider when making the decision to step back or not? Absolutely."
