My neighbour in #Saanich is getting heating oil delivered for their furnace. It’s 2026. It needs to be outlawed.

Close-up of a pink rhododendron flower bud, partially opened with pink petals visible, surrounded by large, green leaves with yellow-tinged edges. The bud is brown and fuzzy, and a single petal is fully extended, showcasing a droplet of water. Branches with small, dried flower buds are visible.

Yellow daffodils with green leaves and water droplets growing in dark soil next to a gray concrete surface.

Two examples of good design and one example of bad design: Wheel/curb stops and bollards help prevent vehicle overhang and keep pathways safe and clear. The last photo shows what happens when they’re missing. #SafeStreets #biketooter #yyjbike #victoriabc #AccessibleStreets

An example of a clear multi-use pathway thanks to wheel/curb stops on Dallas Road in Victoria, BC (near Ross Bay Seawall) placed between the sidewalk and the tires of parked vehicles.

An example of a clear bike lane thanks to bollards on Dallas Road in Victoria, BC (near Ogden Point) placed at the front of each parking space.

A reminder of what can happen if wheel/curb stops are missing from a parking space. As a result, half of the sidewalk is blocked by the overhanging vehicle bumper.
