Port Moody trialed this during the pandemic for certain parks and we’ve now made it permanent. The only slight negative that has been realized is more frequent collection of recycling/garbage.

My family and I had the privilege of attending the festival earlier today. It was a vibrant and beautiful celebration of heritage, community, and resilience.
Check on your friends, please and take care of one another.

“But Jenn, new condos are luxury housing only for the rich!”, you might say. I’d ask you how and where you got your numbers. Because all my data clearly says that the richest live in detached houses. Generally, the lower the density, the richer the household. Find me data to the contrary.

Metro recognized and talked about the limitations. It’s not a perfect measure but it is a start and showing YoY changes.

It really is. What I also found positive & hopeful was the corresponding increase in walking in the trip diary. Especially since pop growth was ~7% but car trips only increased by <2%.

Walkability supports complete communities, letting people walk, roll, or drive to daily needs. It means fewer car trips, more transit and biking, better health, and a stronger, more connected community.

The walkability index is a key metric for measuring progress toward Goal 1: Create a Compact Urban Area. Increasing an area's walkability has health and social benefits. Between 2016 and 2021, Port Moody's City Centre had one of the most improved levels of walkability.
