Primarily public transit. If arterials are above capacity then the city has failed to fund transit sufficiently, IMO.

Because cut-through traffic is an indicator of a transit deficiency and speed cushions let politicians off the hook.
They're also a tacit acknowledgment that cars are incompatible with a healthy life, and that they belong on someone else's street.

Ontario labour federation urges more worker protections as air quality concerns grow An Ontario labour group says it is advocating for more robust worker protections amid growing health concerns over poor air quality as wildfire smoke blankets the province with increasing frequency.

In defense of air-conditioning Why air-conditioning is the wrong climate villain.

just sayin, ftr, @caseycrownhart.bsky.social has also heroically stood up for this critical tool of climate adaption:

Ontario to twin final 68km of Hwy. 69 There appears to be progress on four-laning the remaining stretch of Highway 69 between Sudbury and Toronto.

If federal Liberals aren’t spending billions twinning pipelines, provincial conservatives are spending billions twinning highways.

These theatrics are for show.

Canada and US have a "deal" - Ford and LeBlanc spent last winter and spring in DC selling it. Ford bought a multi-million US ad campaign to support it and did more interviews on US cable than he has ever done at home.

Ford's Bill 5 and Carney's C5 make it possible.

Because congestion will improve when North American cities increase that 92% cars to 96%! 🤡

A bridge over Sherman cut with metal retaining wall cracking open and gravel pouring out

I guess this is the latest escarpment barf on Sherman Cut, that’ll cost $4.5M to fix?

If you’re not careful car brain will have you triggering a constitutional crisis, just to keep cyclists dying.

YouTube video by Charlie Angus CHARLIE ANGUS CALLS FOR GLOBAL BOYCOTT OF USA

The Canadian boycott is standing up to gangster fascism. Now we need to take the boycott global. I met with elected representatives from across the Americas in Mexico City and delivered this message: we must work across borders to resist the threats of Donald Trump.

Watch councillor Spadafora spend $30K on another 10 speed cushions! Pretending cars are compatible with even suburban life, is very expensive!

We have enough challenges keeping our bills relatively sane. We don't need to be subsidized this crap also.

@mark-carney.bsky.social has created a human AI Minister so it should be fine. Right, @evansolomon.bsky.social? 😬

Given the number of heat days this summer continues the trendline found in Ch 8 of their health report, it would be nice to hear their thoughts on council's 6 year old #ClimateEmergency declaration.

Can the world’s beaches survive a sand shortage? From Miami to Barcelona and Australia’s Gold Coast, governments are trying to save shorelines where climate change is accelerating erosion

We prefer the term slopdodgers.

So many slam dunk issues for a proper, democratic socialist NDP leader.

Canada sure could use the public-owned Connaught Labs, that it had for the decades, before the Conservative/Liberal privatization bonanza, that began in 1984!
