Where every party stands on transport
8 of the 11 parties on the October 17 ballot have published something on transport and street design. Here they are side by side, each with its source.
BEFORE YOU COMPARE
Who actually decides this
The city owns and designs its streets, bike lanes, sidewalks and parking rules. Buses, SkyTrain and SeaBus are run by TransLink, a regional body the city does not control.
Read the commitments below against that. Where a party proposes something the city cannot do on its own, the commitment carries a line naming who holds the power. That is not a criticism of the promise. A council can lobby, fund and argue, and saying so plainly is more useful than pretending the limit does not exist.
WHAT THE COMPARISON SHOWS
Reading this ballot on transport
8 of the 11 parties have published something here, and between them they have made 20 separate commitments. TEAM for a Livable Vancouver has published the most, with 5.
Not one of these commitments carries a dollar figure, a count or a percentage. They set a direction, which means there is nothing here to check against a budget later.
8 of the 20 commitments here depend at least partly on a government other than the city. That does not make them empty, but it does change what a council can promise about them.
