Stephen Bohus commented on Tammy's blog post Glass Skyscrapers coming to Main Street?
"Density and height between 8 and 15 storeys is much too high for what is set as the maximum in the Mount Pleasant community plan. The 7 storey Lee Building at Main and E.Broadway is currently the highest along the stretch of Main Street referenced…"

Stephen Bohus commented on Village Vancouver's group VV Transportation Network
"I sold my car in late 2007, and I've been car free ever since. Instead I walk, bike, jog, and take public transit. While I do understand some of the arguments for keeping a car (elderly, disabled & kids), I can also appreciate the efforts…"

Welcome Them!

Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
Mount Pleasant
Please tell us which areas of Transition interest you. For example: growing more food/urban agriculture, relocalizing our economy/local currency, Permaculture, transit, energy efficient buildings, the arts, urban homesteading, preserving seed diversity, potlucks, outreach, organizing events, community-building, having fun while saving the world, or...
livability, planning, sustainable architecture and built form, transit, peak oil
There's a saying that "Transition is not a spectator sport". It's true! Village Vancouver runs on people power, and engaging in activities and projects together helps us accomplish more. Which groups, networks, neighbourhood villages, or projects do you think you might be interested in getting involved with? And what knowledge, skills, resources or other assets can you bring to the mix? (Don't be bashful!)
urban design / computer modelling / technical analysis
What would you like to see improved in Vancouver or in your community regarding sustainability or resiliency? Do you have an idea for a new Transition project or activity?
Vancouver needs to accelerate the changeover from a fossil fuels to an alternate / renewable electrical based economy. Many current priorities assume that the lifestyle we inherited from the 1950s and 1960s can go on indefinitely. I am a firm believer that the sooner we start the transition, the better off we will be in the long run.
I agree to read and abide by the Site Guidelines under the About tab on the navigation bar, remaining respectful in all communications on this web site.
