The official report isn’t likely to hit their desks until early August, but city officials say they saw enough this past week to pass judgment on Vancouver’s new, controversial ban on fireworks.
“A couple years from now, no one will think about it,” said City Councilor Ty Stober.
Stober and other members of the council said they were generally happy with the fireworks ban they unanimously passed in October 2015 that took effect this year. They liked the quieter neighborhoods, calmer dogs and cleaner streets.
While many residents feel the same way, many others have expressed anger and resentment.
