Feb 9 Delta, Feb 12 Vancouver - Greenest Games or Freeway Olympics?
Greenest Games or Freeway Olympics?
GatewaySucks.org is proud to partner with the Council of Canadians, Canada's largest public advocacy organization, to challenge the freeway building and corporate greenwashing promoted by the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.
Together we will "greet" the Olympic Torch Relay when it arrives at Delta Municipal Hall on Feb. 9 at 3pm, and join the Take Back Our City festival and parade in Vancouver on Feb. 12, also at 3pm. Join us! We will provide signs and banners at both events.
Tuesday Feb. 9, 3 pm: Delta Municipal Hall - 4500 Clarence Taylor Crescent (5 min walk from Ladner Exchange bus loop) http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Ladner+Exchange,+Delta,+BC+(Ladner+Exchange+-+Bus+Loop)&daddr=Delta+municipal+hall&geocode=CcjU76QZyX7XFewE7QIdYjiq-CFdfAN4og-xiw%3BFWj47AIdz0iq-CGvtqd2AHjcAA&hl=en&mra=pe&mrcr=0&dirflg=w&sll=49.086122,-123.060312&sspn=0.013547,0.037894&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=17 [note that you walk through the parking lot, not around as Shown on Google Maps]

The Livable Blog
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.
