A local group of green transportation advocates has come together as Victorians for Transportation Choice (VTC) and are giving Greater Victoria election candidates a questionnaire about their stance on transportation options.
VTC is compiled of six coalition members: the Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition, the Greater Victoria Place-making Network, the British Columbia Sustainable Energy Association, Walk on Victoria, Island Transformations Organization, and the Transit Alliance of Greater Victoria.
They are asking mayoral and council candidates from across Greater Victoria 12 questions, divided into four categories: general questions, walking questions, biking questions, transit questions and parking and place-making questions.
WATCH:
So far, 22 candidates have responded from Victoria, Sidney, Saanich, Oak Bay, North Saanich, Esquimalt, Colwood and Central Saanich.
The questionnaire gives city residents a chance to hear the answers to questions most people are wondering, like B次元官网网址渄o you support the completing the downtown AAA Bikeway grid on Wharf St, Humboldt St, and Vancouver St?B次元官网网址� or B次元官网网址淲ould you support keeping the E&N railway as a railway and actively campaign for electrified passenger and freight services?B次元官网网址�
