Summary
Burnaby has passed new bylaws significantly restricting where e-scooters can be ridden, making them illegal on many major roads and in city parks unless specific infrastructure exists. Should other parts of BC follow suit? The City of Surrey is easing enforcement against some illegal construction projects through a new one-year pilot program that shifts toward a more compliance-based approach. New data from ICBC reveals a changing picture of BC's roads, showing fewer injury crashes than before the pandemic, a major drop in auto crime, and a growing shift toward hybrid vehicles over fully electric cars.
