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

A group of Vision Zero volunteers smile and hold up a sign saying "Saving lives with Vision Zero Vancouver Society" in front of a Canadian Blood Services backdrop at the donor centre.

Email text overlayed over an image of West 10th Ave in Point Grey. Text reads "Re: Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan on City Council agenda, June 9th I was the head of the Point Grey Village (PGV) Traffic Committee from 2024 until last month, when I ended my tenure on the BIA Board of Directors. I am now writing in the capacity of a BIA member and as someone who has been a commercial property owner in Point Grey Village and a resident of PGV since the early 1990s. I strongly support the Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan but disagree with the very-slow pace of the rollout. I believe that the Plan, notably a reduction in the speed limit to 40 kph or 30 kph, should be extended to all BIAs as soon as possible. You should know that the Point Grey Village BIA has been lobbying for a reduction in the speed limit to 40 kph for years. Although the reduction or elimination of traffic deaths and injuries is the primary and best reason for the implementation of the Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan, the potential economic benefits to BIAs in this challenging timefor local businesses are another important reason for its prompt implementation."
Three people sit at a table with red "Vision Zero Vancouver" banner in front and "Movement: Metro Vancouver Transit Riders" behind them. On the table are several colourful papers, pens, and a large sheet of paper asking what accessible transportation means to you
A group of people parade through a balloon arch along a wide street. First are several bagpipe players, then many people using wheelchairs and mobility devices, walking with canes, etc. showcasing accessibility for all.
It is important to note that Lougheed Highway is a high-volume regional corridor connecting multiple communities in the Lower Mainland. Its primary function is to facilitate the safe, efficient movement of traffic over longer distances. For this reason, introducing additional pedestrian crossings on such a busy route can increase safety risks for vulnerable road users and conflict with the corridor’s intended purpose.

Background of VZV volunteers in front of their billboard designed with Tom Flood, set to semi-transparent with foreground text "Here's why you should give us your gas money" followed by snippets from a VZV member survey about what members feel makes VZV unique - comments about sassiness and attitude. Bottom text says "Not a lot of grants fund this. We fund this."

Screenshot from a text message that reads "I didn't really see what happened, but a biker was just hit by a car on 10th between Main and Cambie. The biker rode off after yelling at the driver, so he seems okay."
A car is upside down and crumpled, with wheels, broken glass and various debris scattered on the road. A faded bikeway symbol is visible on the roadway, and an emergency vehicle with sirens on is in the background.
