• Translink is raising their park-n-ride parking fee to $3 from $2. The Province finds someone to complain about this "huge increase."
• Gordon Price talks to the Dependent about the Gateway Project which he believes sends a "very clear message that we are going to organize our transportation system in the fastest growing parts of our region around vehicles, almost exclusively, and anything else isn’t to be taken seriously."
• The Planning Pool goes for a Vancouver cycling tour. 
• Gehry talks about LEED! Also, Governments can do that?! "The Swiss government said the Novartis building couldn’t be air-conditioned. So we had to come up with another way to regulate the temperature. We built it entirely out of glass and cooled it with a geothermal system. The roof panels were made with photovoltaic glass that generates energy. And there is an opening at the top that lets hot air out — like a teepee. In the end, there’s no one way to do it, you have to be creative."
