We voters of Vancouver said YES to Bus Rapid Transit on 4th Plain Blvd by raising our sales tax within city limits to pay for it last year. Its TIME to use all that money at get BRT going on 4th Plain - relieve congestion, help out an economically distressed area, and get folks quickly across our fair Vantucky.
If the Board votes NO (and I am knocking wood this won't happen), I hope that C-Tran, rather than just leaving the money in reserves, expands bus service within the boundaries of those who voted YES on this fine project. I'll follow up with this one, mark my words.
Semi-regular musings, rants, and occasional raves, as well as constructive critique, about politico-economic goings-on and needs in Vancouver, USA and surrounding area. O Vancouvria! seeks to point out problems that need redress, bear witness to issues otherwise ignored, and start dialogue that brings the ear of public needs and wants back to movers & shakers in our community.

Shea, C-Tran voters rejected funding for BRT (and its attached System Plan) November 6, 2012 Proposition 1. They again reaffirmed it with Advisory Vote No.2 November 5, 2013. Advisory Vote No. 2 was to instruct the commissioners to oppose BRT unless approved by a vote of the people. That was the YES vote that prevailed.
