It's a good idea, and about time.

That's the urban planning part I'm most interested in. Growing up in the suburbs where the only way to get around is by car, I've always wanted to see transportation change. But its never going to happen here do to other idiotic factors.

It looks really nice the way they've planned it out.

Downtown Vancouver needs it in my opinion. It fills the transportation hole in the downtown area.

Maybe it will encourage them to clean up the rest of the area. Once you get past Science World it gets rather ugly in spots.

Its bigging to look a lot like San FRancisco, tra lal la. ( I live in SF).
Really, Vancouver is so like San FRancisco in so many ways- from crazy left wing crazies to the Bridge.
So...whe does the serious discussion of politics begin on this thread?

It was started to keep politics out of the lunch thread. Somehow it didn't work out like that. I guess it should be called the "Whatever you want to say that doesn't belong elsewhere" thread.

oh I know what to call it.
On Broadway they have Broadway shows and then "Off Broadway Shows".
It could be called The Off Lunch Thread

No. Bush and Harper may pout and stomp a bit, but they'll back off.

well this about a missile defence system in eastern europe. Putin said if you build it he will nuke Europe. US is building it anyway. They're like little kids fighting, its sad.

Yes, I know. But it could be construed as a threat to Russia and they should pay attentiont to Putin because I don't think he will be the one to back down.

Yeah I don't trust Putin at all. I'll probably fix the constitution so he can legally run again in the next elections. Right now Russian law says he cannot run again. Russia is going backwards again. Rights are being supressed, its sad. Then Russia acts like a bully to its old soviet satelites by pulling gas support to them in the winter if they seem to be drifting away from Russia and towards the EU.
