MOTION ON NOTICE

Submitted by Councillor Ladner for Council Meeting Tuesday, June 24, 2003

Expansion of Late Night Bus Service

MOVER: Councillor Ladner
SECONDER: Councillor

WHEREAS, downtown bars will be allowed to stay open during the summer until
4:00 a.m.,

AND WHEREAS, City Council wishes to encourage downtown entertainment, public transit use, and safe driving,

AND WHEREAS, TransLink Night Owl Service used to run seven (7) days a week on sixteen (16) routes,

AND WHEREAS, TransLink is bringing back limited late night service between 2:00-6:00 a.m., but only on four routes, only on weekends, and not until September,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT, Vancouver City Council strongly urges TransLink to expand late night service immediately to service later bar closings, and to expand service to other nights of the week and to additional routes, using smaller buses if necessary to make it economically feasible.
