Then, Ian, Patrick and Matthew catch up on the latest Vanpoli news. West Vancouver councillors set their sights on crashing the proposed North Shore B-Line, Jean Swanson nearly kills Rental 100, Vancouver’s west-side residents feel stigmatized by a rezoning proposal tied to the UBC Subway, the kerfuffle over Vancouver’s advisory committees and Jens von Bergmann’s latest data visualization highlights shows how to densify Metro Vancouver with minimal displacement.

Finally, we share a special Vancouveratta relating to Vancouver’s history of feminist activism.
