Unfortunately, I was unable to make yesterday's Keep TransLink Public rally. But, it went extremely well and I am happy to hear that so many people braved the cold and the darkness to make there voices heard (somewhere between 100 and 300 people!). Let's hope that the right people are listening.
Here is a excellent summary of the day. And you can find some great photos here.
If you know of any more people who wrote about the rally, please link it below.

Our goal as the Livable Region Coalition (LRC) is to provide a voice for those who believe that efficient and sustainable transportation is a cornerstone for the future of the Lower Mainland. We believe that through creating attractive transportation choices, encouraging urban density, and preserving green space and agricultural land, we can make our communities better places to live and grow.
We believe that the provincial government's strategy to pursue excessive development through the Gateway project is detrimental to the well-being of Greater Vancouver. The Gateway project's stated goals of reducing pollution and congestion will not materialize. Evidence for this comes from many sources. Instead, we advocate real solutions that will actually work and will be less expensive.
