Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson made it official today: he is running again and hopes to be re-elected in November.
Robertson has been mayor for six years.
Vision Vancouver ran a telelphone town hall meeting today and a policy forum on the weekend to rally the troops.
The party plans to focus on what they believe are their successes: a greater focus on the building of affordable housing, higher density in the city particularly around developments like Oakridge, and Cambie and Marine Drive.
If elected, Roberson says his main focus will be on more transit.
He plans to continue opposing the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal and the tanker traffic it would bring.
Robertson remains a steadfast supporter of bike lanes and his party’s “greenest city” plan, which included the closure of Pt. Grey Road to vehicle traffic.
