As we arrive at May, the need to ensure Vancouver's public space – and in particular it's street network - supports safe #PhysicalDistancing is as important as ever. The curve appears to be flattening in BC, but the challenges posed by #COVID19 are far from over. [Thread] /1
Back in March (which, using #COVIDTime, seems like a year ago) we came out w/recommendations for Open & Safe Streets. We’ve updated these a few times & will soon release a new version. Nicer design, more photos, illustrations by @Dereklansonlee of @pwlpartnership. Stay tuned! /2

Developer/Renovicter Jon Stovall already stoking fears about #RealRentControlBC on @CBCStephenQuinn this morning, saying #VacancyControl will be 1 of "27 recommendations" the #RentalHousingTaskForce will make (1:48:00): bit.ly/2ywaJKP
He must be flaunting insider knowledge he enjoys w @bcndp b/c no info on the recommendations is public knowledge yet. BTW Stovall is president of Reliance Properties Ltd. - currently trying to mass renovict Berkley Tower tenants in the #WestEnd (ICYMI: bit.ly/2PpvPnS)
As the push for #RealRentControlBC ramps up, developers like Jon will want you to think that only developers can fix the #housingcrisis. We know first-hand that they actually help cause it w #renovictions & #demovictions and soaring rents #vanre
