Sorry, but do you ever post anything positive here?

For future reference, it's always on the last Friday of the month. That is an impressive amount of negativity compressed into 27 words.

Tourist in critical condition after collision with cyclist in Vancouver, police say

Police in Vancouver are investigating after a cyclist reportedly struck two tourists in a downtown crosswalk, leaving one man with critical injuries.

The collision occurred at around 5:30 p.m. Monday at the intersection of West Cordova and Richards streets.

Police say a married couple visiting from the United States was crossing West Cordova Street in the marked crosswalk and reportedly had the right of way when they were struck by the cyclist travelling east on Cordova Street.

One of the pedestrians, a 72-year-old man, was knocked unconscious in the collision and was transported to Vancouver General Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery, the Vancouver Police Department said in a statement.

He remains in stable but critical condition, police said Tuesday. His wife was treated in hospital for minor injuries.

The cyclist was not hurt and remained at the scene following the collision.

Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.

I only want to know was that a regular bike or an e-bike?

Introduced by Mayor Megan Knight, Klassen, who had lobbied hard for the funding in Ottawa ever since he was elected in April of last year, announced almost $26 million allocated in the federal budget for the project.

The Pacific Centre parkade entrance in front of the future Aritizia is also open.

Ooooohhhhh....

He said between "Howe and Seymour". For some reason it entered my brain as "between Howe and Hornby". Now THAT would have been big news....

Yup!
Almost got run over crossing Robson next to the Lennox pub like I had been for a month before.
Plus CF sent a notice about the parkade ramp reopening.

I wonder if JJ Bean has an inside connection with the City? Both this plaza and the one on 14th and Main were put in next to their locations
