City of Vancouver City Council Heads:
only those
known are listed, starting with the best, these are the opinions of the webmaster
only, there is no party line at critical mass, but i would be dishonest if
i didn't admit i'm mostly pro-COPE. critical mass is not just politics, but
it is good to remember who has ridden with us
- Councillor Fred Bass
- the best, most pro-cycling councillor. rides CM regular, not just for publicity.
showed up to december critical mass when only the really dedicated show up
- and shared his christmas chocolate. the councillor with the most votes
of all of them.
-
Councillor Tim Louis
- tim is a parapalegic lawyer so he has a good excuse for not riding critical
mass. however, I wouldn't be surprised if he did wheel with us some time
in the future because he is the most awesome anti-car councillor, very solid
and reliable for progressive transportation. he advocates for car-free downtown
and removing car lanes to build bike lanes on burrard st bridge. fred bass
and tim are the stalwarts that have stuck up for biking since before you
remember.
-
Councillor Ellen Woodsworth
- very pro-cycling, has ridden a few critical mass rides, advocated for bikes
on skytrain before it was cool. super awesomely pro bus riders union. very
busy person, tireless advocate.
-
Councillor Peter Ladner
- is the golden boy of the pro-business NPA party. despite that, he is a
very solid cyclist and advocate for cycling from within the business community!
rode on the 2000+4 wheels critical mass with his wife and is currently proposing
to remove cars from cornwall st to make room for cyclists, and complete the
seawall. sometimes you should be careful of his pro-business leanings but
a surprisingly excellent cycling councillor.
-
Councillor Anne Roberts - definately a pro-alternative transportation councillor
-
Councillor David Cadman - major player at SPEC, yet drives a volvo. speaks in favour of bikes often enough but hasn't been seen riding one.
-
Councillor Tim Stevenson
- former NDP MLA. rode the trecherous old lions gate bridge in support of
VACC to help prove the danger of it to cyclists. however, he then turned
around and supported the dumb car bridge expansion and unacceptably small
upgrades to the sidewalk without proper bike facilities.
-
Councillor Raymond Louie
- A roadie cyclist who rode Critical Mass with other COPE councillors right
before the City election. He seems fairly bright but has a trecherous pro-business
streak and he dastardly proposed to jack up bus fares again, after it was
off the table and the Bus Riders Union had seemingly won.
