POLL: In your view, how should Vancouver's Transportation System Plan prioritize different modes of transportation? — Vancouver's Transportation System Plan and a legal dispute with Save Vancouver Streets are driving debate over how the city balances cars, transit, cycling, and walking.

The city of Vancouver is engaged in an ongoing legal dispute with Save Vancouver Streets, a group that collected more than 6,500 signatures seeking a voter vote on the removal of vehicle traffic lanes, while the city continues to advance its Complete Streets program and its Transportation System Plan, which states an intent to expand the focus of transportation investment beyond cars to include walking, cycling, transit, and freight. How Vancouver should balance those priorities is a question drawing strong opinions from residents on multiple sides. Share your view in the poll below.
