Yes.  And we do not need a $160,000 advisory vote in a low turnout February election to judge the public's sentiment.  Vancouver has grown significantly.  Fireworks have grown more powerful.  A home was destroyed this year and our fire personnel battled numerous grass fires.  Smaller cities around the State (and every larger city) has already come to this conclusion.  I am pleased our elected officials are moving forward to ban fireworks in Vancouver in 2017.  The latest presentation to Council can be found at this link.
