Monday morning: Transit hiccup, long daylight, live music waiting.
It's a soft start to the week—cloudy but mild, with a couple of route changes to know before you head out.
Morning, it's 12°C and cloudy, which means leave the heavy coat but grab layers. You've got 16 hours of daylight today—sun doesn't set until 9:15 PM, so the evenings stretch. UV's sitting at 3, so a bit of sun protection if you're out at lunch, but nothing urgent.
If you're catching the 183 bus this morning, heads up: a few trips in and out of Moody Centre Station are down due to operational issues. The 6:16 and 7:32 AM runs from Moody to Coquitlam Central are cancelled, and the 5:40 and 6:53 AM returns from Coquitlam are also off. Check ahead if that's your line—transit's sorting it this morning, but worth double-checking.
If you use the Westbound 49 Ave stop at Cambie, that's closed now; they've moved you over to the new Langara-49th Station stop on the other side of Cambie. And the 155 is back on its regular route via Sixth and Twenty Second St after some rerouting, so that's normalized.
On the broader front: SFU just landed a $40 million gift for their new medical school—the biggest donation in the university's history. That's real news for the region. The BC Conservatives have tied the NDP in the latest poll under their new leader, which is a shift worth watching if you're following the politics. And heads up that the inquest into Tatyanna Harrison's death kicks off July 2, if that matters to you.
For lunch or dinner, Dave's Hot Chicken is opening their first Vancouver spot this Friday, and there's a whole stack of new eating spots worth exploring around the city this month. If you're thinking breweries, North Van's World Cup hub has seven worth the walk if you're looking for a reason to get across the bridge. On The Other Hand just dropped the steak-and-frites branding too, so they're playing with a wider menu if you've been meaning to check them out.
Tonight, if you're feeling it, there's live music: By Storm at The Fox Cabaret at 8 PM, or LIP CRITIC with Flatwounds and Bejalvin over at The WISE Hall—same time, different vibes. Fortune Sound Club's got Kiara & Friends' Bieber Fever Night at 10 if you want to lean into that. It's cloudy but dry, so getting out is easy. Pick your mood and roll.
Have a solid Monday.
