A special issue on transit in Input – the magazine of the Real Estate Institute of BC:

Executive Officer of the REIBC, Brenda Southam, notes:
Read on to consider transit in the history of the region, explore the merits of transit-oriented development and hear about the Evergreen Line, lament the difficulties of funding a transit network, and consider the role of transit-oriented development from an investor’s perspective.
What’s really interesting to me about transit is how it is so connected to other issues. Climate change, housing affordability, universal accessibility and equality, vibrant public spaces…and the list goes on.
We’ve focused pretty tightly on the transit-land use connection, but transit really gets you thinking!
I contribute an opening piece, describing the intimate relationship of transportation and land-use in the development of Vancouver. Mayor Richard Walton of the District of North Vancouver also pens a piece that’s worth checking out, particularly since he’s the Chair of the Mayor’s Council.
The issue is here.
