New kid on the block CivicScene flashes its impressive wares; intimidated blogging counterparts hover in the background

Welcome to CivicScene’s inaugural post in what will hopefully be a long line of intelligent, balanced and interesting contributions to the municipal discourse.

CivicScene has emerged to provide a new perspective in the current Vancouver municipal blogging scene, which in our humble opinion, has been lacking when it comes to progressive voices.

In addition, over the coming days and weeks, additional contributors will be signing on to the CivicScene team, bringing forth fresh perspectives and ideas from cities across North America.  Keep checking back for their profiles, which will continue to be added as details are finalized.

We are anxious to receive your opinions, suggestions and tips going forward, and hope that the debates can be kept civil and respectful.  Comments will be moderated to avoid slander or attacks, but never to engineer censorship.

Thank you for reading.

FACT OF THE DAY

More than 221,000 people have taken the second Amtrak evening train to Vancouver since the service began last August. It had a record month in July with nearly 25,000 passengers. Ridership on the morning train has also increased 21% in the past year.

Quote OF THE DAY

“Economic power is [dependent] on how fast you move people and goods around. You see China growing right now very rapidly in this direction. This is the direction North America must go.” – California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
