Transit Vote Burnaby: Congestion, Health, and Livability
Channel: Carbon Talks
Date: 2015-03-18

Metro Vancouver's road network and transit system are currently strained and regional growth will ensure that this trend continues into the future. But what are the economic and health costs of congestion? Join us at SFU Burnaby to hear from two experts as they describe the current situation as well as what to expect in the future. With the transit referendum on the line, a number of potential transportation improvements could help to alleviate stress on the road network as well as offer more sustainable commuting options for residents. Find out what these transit options have to offer. This public dialogue is co-presented by Carbon Talks and Moving in a Livable Region. We would also like to acknowledge the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions for their support as a partner in this event.
