Having your say without having to put a sticky on a wall:
Vancouver drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders are invited to a Facebook event where they will give advice to the City of Vancouver and help shape the future of
transportation in our city. Start here.
The main event is a two-week Facebook discussion (May 31-June 14) followed by public ideas sharing. Sign up closes May 31 so that the discussion groups can start as a team.
Results of the online discussion and other public transportation conversations this spring will be integrated into a draft Transportation Plan by the City of Vancouver, which will then go back to the public for feedback in early 2012. For other opportunities to be involved, go here.
Vancouver residents and commuters will discuss key issues – like health, affordability, economy, and the environment – in small Facebook groups. Each group will work together to evaluate strategies and propose directions for the City’s Transportation Plan, followed by a chance to promote your ideas through Facebook sharing and commenting.
This Facebook event is a partnership of the City of Vancouver and Greenest City Conversations, a University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University research group.
While I’m all for it, the thing wants access to virtually EVERYTHING on my Facebook, including permission to post directly to my wall, see all my information, etc. I don’t get why that would be required, so not allowing it.
