Took a bike ride along Spanish Banks and up into the endowment lands today...what freedom just to ride!!!

I notice more and more construction going on in there, and this grabs my attention, just a feeling, but I trust these more than anything...the endowment lands is the strong left lung of Vancouvers' southwestern side..we really tax the other lung, Stanley park, due to it's really central position as a major North Shore commute through, and the dense downtown population. Though I have to say: I notice a great improvement in the causeway, after the wind storm toppled the weaker old growth, fresh light and air does recharge that tired piece of nature, and allows new growth to thrive.

Would really love to see UBC, a community of 'educated' scholarly types wake up and plan the space with real innovation and vision, perhaps inspiring great urban planning models.

O..gotta go, will revisit this idea later.
