  • Mayor and Council From
    City of Delta COUNCIL REPORT F.07 Regular Meeting To: Mayor and Council From: Corporate Services Department Date: February 21, 2018 George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project Update The following recommendations have been endorsed by the Acting City Manager. • RECOMMENDATION: THAT copies of this report be provided to: • Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport • Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Member of Parliament for Delta • Chief Bryce Williams, Tsawwassen First Nation • Honourable Claire Trevena, Minister of Transportation & Infrastructure • Ravi Kahlon, MLA Delta-North • Ian Paton, MLA Delta-South • Metro Vancouver Board of Directors • Mayors' Council on Regional Transportation • PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to provide an update on some of the key issues related to the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project (GMTRP), particularly in light of the Province's recent announcement regarding the Pattullo Bridge, and to provide a consolidated summary for Council's information. • BACKGROUND: On February 16, 2018, the BC government announced that it is moving forward with the construction of a $1.38 billion bridge to replace the Pattullo Bridge. This raises some questions regarding the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project, which has been on a five-month hiatus since the Province announced last September that it was undertaking an independent technical review of the crossing. Both projects are badly needed; however, unlike the Pattullo project which is only part-way through the environmental assessment process, the tunnel replacement project is shovel-ready, has received its environmental assessment certificate and has completed the bidding process. Furthermore, in terms of both vehicular and transit traffic, the George Massey Tunnel carries Page 2 of 5 GMTRP Update February 21 , 2018 significantly higher volumes than the Pattullo Bridge (Attachments 'A' and 'B' show the volumes for all the Fraser River crossings).

  • 1 Don Bellamy's Rapid Transit Solution (BC Electric Railway Motorman, Retired)
    Don Bellamy’s Rapid Transit Solution (BC Electric Railway Motorman, Retired) “Restore THE POWER OF streetcars NOW” Simple solutions that are based on common sense usually have the greatest impact on society. As is often the case, people with practical experience often have a better understanding of the problem, and can see the most efficient, cost effective solutions first. I spoke with Don Bellamy (former Vancouver City Councilor, Police Officer, and BC Electric Railway Motorman) in July 2008, and his solution is the most efficient and financially viable that I have heard, seen or read about. First let’s get a global perspective. In “The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” viewers see Americans visiting Cuba in 2006 to learn what Peak Oil really means. When Russia fell in 1991, Cuba lost over 50% of its oil imports from 13-14 million tons down to 4 million tons. While cars produce pollution, buildings and homes consume 40% of world energy and produce 50% of all greenhouse gases. “OIL” Energy is needed for elevators, water supply, heating / cooling, lighting, cooking and food storage, making high rise residential buildings unsustainable. Oil is needed for computers, cosmetics, and plastics. Cubans call the transition to life without Oil the “Special Period”. It took 5 years before the pesticide contaminated soil could be brought back to life with composting. Without the OIL based fertilizers (21,000 tons in 1988 to 1,000 tons in 2006) that produced the 1920’s Green Revolution farm food production increase and oil based pesticides needed to reduce pests associated with mono-agriculture, Cuba had to choose Organic farming.

  • Mobilities, Sustainability and Space on Vancouver Streets
    Moving Targets: Mobilities, Sustainability and Space on Vancouver Streets by Peter Marriott M.A., Simon Fraser University, 2011 B.A., University of Alberta, 2008 Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Urban Studies in the Urban Studies Program Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Peter Marriott 2017 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2017 Approval Name: Peter Marriott Degree: Master of Urban Studies Title: Moving Targets: Mobilities, Sustainability and Space on Vancouver’s Streets Examining Committee: Chair: Karen Ferguson Professor Urban Studies and History Peter V. Hall Senior Supervisor Professor Urban Studies Meg Holden Supervisor Associate Professor Urban Studies and Geography Mimi Sheller External Examiner Professor Department of Sociology Drexel University Date Defended/Approved: March 27, 2017 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract This project explores the politics of mobility in Vancouver, as expressed through debate over the allocation, configuration and use of street space. Using a mobilities framework to explore the social relationships embodied within these choices about the allocation of physical movement of people within cities, this research consists of two in-depth case studies of commercial streets in Vancouver that have been the subject of recent neighbourhood plans. The project uses multiple qualitative methods, including document analysis, in-depth interviews and contextual observation, to locate a complex and sometimes contradictory discourse around mobility policies in Vancouver. Sustainability targets that rhetorically call for a reduction in automobile use are not realized in the actual interventions made to street space; instead, more symbolic measures are pursued that leave the social relationships of auto-mobility unchallenged.

  • President & General Manager 2020 Q3 Report December 2020 Translink
    PRESIDENT & GENERAL MANAGER 2020 Q3 REPORT DECEMBER 2020 TRANSLINK BOARD MEETING This quarter BCRTC continued to deliver its maintenance and rail services despite the constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic. BCRTC’s Q3 business plan activities and accomplishments reflect the company’s commitment to our employees and customers. We continue to focus on the rail priorities of delivering a Just Culture, inclusive leadership, high performance, and supporting the rail expansion projects contained in the Mayors’ Vision. TransLink Strategic Priority: Implement the Mayors’ Vision Fleet and Infrastructure Phase 2 Mark III status update: In Q3, Mark III testing and commissioning continued at our Burnaby maintenance facility and on our network. All 14 Mark IIIs that make up this phase of the fleet expansion are in BCRTC’s possession, with 10 trains fully commissioned, and the remaining four trains in various stages of revenue service testing. It is anticipated that these remaining trains will be fully commission early in Q4, bringing our total Mark III fleet to 21 trains, which represents 84 cars. Modernize infrastructure to increase capacity and accommodate growth With future network expansion on the horizon and the long-term ridership growth that SkyTrain is likely to experience with it, it remains vital to modernize the system’s infrastructure to ensure resiliency and reliability of the transit service BCRTC provides. • In Q3, the 2020 running rail replacement project work began in the area between 22nd Street to New West Station. The project was able to replace 6,500 rail pads on the inbound track between the two stations. Rail pads are used to fasten, and support running rail to the guideway and help to reduce shock and vibration on the system.
