We're working on a toolkit for 6 storey single stair buildings that could work within Vancouver's eleven "Village" plan areas. These would work on standard lots sizes (33, 50, 66 & 100').

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Fellow cyclists, please calibrate your headlight as low beams rather than high beams and stop using your headlamp. Blinding oncoming traffic (cyclists, vehicles, and pedestrians) does not make anyone safer.
