so, question? the plan describes a continuous sidewalk? But there's a bike icon beside it? I thought you weren't allowed to ride a bike on a sidewalk? #yyc

This is also true. @youthenroute.bsky.social should offer a service to #CPS - every officer, and every driver that makes contact with a bike / pedestrian should have to go for a bike ride with @bluhrgirl.bsky.social and some teenagers to understand the perspective of people outside cars #yyccc

I ask people to consider what's going to be worse for their property values, not having a public school? Or the 4 plex with some renters?
Good on this group!

@youthenroute.bsky.social takes teenagers in #yyc schools for bike rides in communities. We teach cycling skills, but we also think we create more empathetic drivers. Youth understand who might need or want to bike or walk places. should be required for all as part of driving lessons. #yycbike

So, so needless and heartbreaking. i can't imagine the agony of those parents. Already seeing them blamed for not "making eye contact." this has to change #yyccc

yes - so true.
Sweeps just move folks to areas with fewer resources. We should be able to do better.

Calgary police called the hit stroller in Haysboro an "accident." No, it's pretty predictable.

What Tim says. This is horrendous. Dangerous driving causing death should be a thing, and there should be about 7 of these charges so far in 2026. #yyccc #abpoli

yes, and he did pull off to talk to him. The kid was quite shaken....I took the photo because i was worried he was just going to drive away.

Kid said he wasn't hurt, but I told him to make sure to file a complaint and gave him my contact. Victims have to start filing complaints AND suing for injuries - even minor ones. @peddownyyc.bsky.social

pedestrian on sidewalk talks to driver of black vehicle that just ran him over.

I saw this today! really freaked me out. Driver turning right out of parking lot hit this kid and knocked him across the lane of traffic. I gasped as I thought he was going to be hit again. He jumped up and went to yell at the driver. This is when I took the pic to capture plate. #peddown

This story is atrocious, on so many fronts. But its olympics, sports, so we can shrug it off . . .πŸŽπŸ”—

Includes text from the future of sport commission saying report will be out in March 2026, they want safe, equal opportunities that reflect cdn values, then says to follow on X social media.

Includes text from the future of sport commission saying report will be out in March 2026, they want safe, equal opportunities that reflect cdn values, then says to follow on X social media.

Just got an email from Canada's Future of Sport Commission. (I'd shared the lack of access to basic biking skills!)
But this note at the end of their email leaves me little hope it will do anything to prevent abuse/bullying/ sexism in sport. Irony is lost. :(
