From Patrick Klassen:
Seeing all the lovely photos of Vancouver on your blog, and I thought, wait a minute, New Westminster needs some love too! My partner and I are recently relocated East Vancouverites – we now live in the West End of New Westminster.
The best part is that I walk to the 22nd Street SkyTrain Station every morning, and every day I take a few pics of my walk. The pics help me to reflect on how lucky it is to be able to walk-train to work, rather than drive. Those poor car commuters never get mornings like these.

Grimson Park, Monday and Tuesday
Lovely pair of photos!
According to an article in the National Post (link below), people who live in areas well served by transit live about 4 years longer than those who live in car-dependent communities because readily available transit encourages walking.
Count your blessings, vote “yes”, and live for another 4 years. (That should be a campaign slogan!)
