Most North American cities: we should allow cars to overtake buses at stops at any cost. Traffic MUST FLOW!

Great transit cities: we should systematically prevent cars from overtaking stopped buses with median curbs because it's a hazard for alighting passengers and it delays buses.

Volunteers gave King Station a makeover this morning! You shouldn't get lost while taking the #TTC. Learn more and show your support for better TTC information and signs: www.ttcriders.ca/wayfinding

Content de voir la sécurisation de la rue Saint-Urbain aller de l'avant, incluant une voie réservée! J’ai aussi hâte que le tronçon dans Ville-Marie soit réalisé (prévu 2027). Il y a un grand manque de liens cyclables (et d’autobus efficaces) nord-sud au centre-ville.

What is now Émile-Duploye in La Fontaine Park from 1894, with the tram on true left, and young trees on the right, and group of kids in the centre

Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, with grass in the middle of the track, and a green bus travelling along it.

Long term, I would really like a north busway along Émilie-Duploye, that would be similar to the original tram that once traveled through the park. The 45 currently gets stuck in a lot of traffic on de Lorimier, this would speed it up a lot!

It’s curious the bus stops added, as well as further up along the street by La Fontaine Park. Some workers told me they support articulated buses, but it doesn’t seem like there’s any planned bus routes here?

Encore une fois, Soraya Martinez se positionne contre un projet ambitieux, tourné vers l’avenir, et ayant reçu l’appui unanime des internants en santé publique et en environnement dont la Direction de Santé publique de Mtl et le Secrétariat international de la Convention sur la biodiversité. #polmtl

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Thank you!!

pas besoin de payer de stationnement au centre-ville quand tu peux te stationner à moitié sur le trottoir gratuitement sur sainte-catherine #montreal

no need to pay for downtown parking when you can park on the sidewalk for free on sainte-catherine street #montreal

bike paths are also useful for emergency vehicles during the winter! (this is a one-way street for cars with a bidirectional bike path) #velomtl #bikesky

Pillar that once had signs pointing to metro, buses, street, REM and exo trains

Pillar of outline removed sign that once had exo trains, REM and more

They might’ve confused my signs with the official ones, as some of those have been removed as well

I have received word that the signs were taken down by Cominar, the REIT private owners of Gare Centrale

Blank tile where my sign was beside flower store

False door with outline of torn off Velcro of my sign no longer there

Pillar beside bakery with outline of tape residue on tile of the place of my signs

Vacant store with vague outline for the outline of the Velcro once holding my signs, no longer there

All of the signs have been removed at Gare Centrale, not by me.

Large plastic placed on false door, pointing to the left to Gare Centrale with connections (REM, exo train, VIA, Amtrak, Métro, and Terminus Centre-ville) and outside to the right, to the hotel, and connecting buses

Small sign pointing down to the left towards an escalator, to Gare Centrale, with connecting trains and bus services

Large sign on tiled pillar, pointing to Place Ville Marie, Eaton Centre and connecting buses and local streets

Detailed sign pointing to Gare Centrale, and trains such as the REM, exo Train, and Train Interubrain, each wth the names as services under each. Additional connections to the Métro, and Terminus Centre-Ville with bus agencies like RTL, exo and SJSR.

Gare Centrale’s signage is a mess: still says AMT (it’s exo now), no signs for REM or exo from outside, a single bad sign to the métro, and nothing to help navigate the RÉSO. So I fixed it—installed 7 signs myself. They’ve been up 3 months, and Cominar hasn’t noticed. www.lapresse.ca/actualites/g...

Un étudiant corrige à nouveau la signalisation autour du REM On n’est jamais mieux servi que par soi-même, veut l’adage. Et Dashiell Friesen l’a bien compris. Le jeune étudiant en graphisme a décidé pour la deuxième fois d’améliorer la signalisation déficiente ...

Dans @lapresse.ca : @mashdash.bsky.social strikes again! ⬆️↗️

Aux Halles de la gare : « Au total, il a donc installé sept grands panneaux indiquant clairement où aller pour prendre un train, le métro, un autobus et même pour se rendre à des rues à proximité »

Oh wow I was a block away from you!

If we all call Agence de mobilité durable de Montréal, then they have to ticket them, right?

On pourrait financer la prochaine phase des travaux de Sainte-Catherine Ouest en affectant un agent de stationnement en permanence pour gérer le stationnement illégal sur les tronçons déjà réaménagés.

Décarie Square has been around since 1977 and hasn’t been updated since, so I think Royalmount will probably survive for at least 60 years, even if the market is pretty small

I hope the city adds these to way more streets, and in black to blend better with the plastic ones

They’re a troll (easy block!)

Damn it. Completely unprecedented.

NEW: Premier Doug Ford's bike lane removal law has now been passed by the Ontario legislature.
The government has been preparing to remove three lanes: University Ave. Bloor St. and Yonge St.

Hey everyone! I'm the person behind the signage you might have seen during the REM opening in Montreal. Excited to share more of my projects here, whether it’s signage, urban planning, or all things transit!

A wall with colourful signage pointing in different directions

A wall with maps and guide

A wall with maps, guides, and arrows pointing to exits

A pillar with a lit up colourful sign, and signs attached to the ceilings pointing to exits

If you actually look at the wayfinding in Tokyo, many of the improvements were made very recently, like in the last 10 years (a lot of it for the 2020 Olympics)

And this used to be a vertical park, a place for people to hang out, that is now another road for cars to travel through. I’d like to see it converted back to green space!

Une connexion à la station REM de Canora serait également très utile s'ils achètent les pistes
