Referendum: Reasons for Yes

Ken Ohrn notes:

Kelly Sinoski writes a clear and very informative article in, astonishingly, the Vancouver Sun. It is the start of what should be a fascinating 4-part series on “The Improvement Tax” vote.

Note in particular the 2,700 km of bikeways, including 300 km of fully traffic-separated routes, which are at stake in this plebiscite.

  1. Ohrn should not be astonished to find well-written articles by Kelly Sinoski in Vancouver Sun. They are quite common! 🙂

  2. I picked the Sun up over the weekend and thought the map and articles were great. It really illustrated to people on the fence or no side the benefits that you could get behind. Was surprised at the amenities for Langley, White Rock and Maple Ridge.

  3. Was there really a need to be that snarky about the Sun?
