And it won’t just be the plan for Coldsprings that will be completely changed. It will be very difficult to direct growth anywhere but near that station. All of our current plans will be impacted.The location of the station is likely the biggest planning decision for the City in the next 50 years.

If the station goes here there will be immense pressure to develop nearby. People will want to live near the station and low density won’t meet that demand. I wish we would at least try to put the station downtown to direct that growth into instead of adjacent to the city.

People riding bikes in a downtown Vancouver separated bike-lane

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Man, all those runners left on base though.

The Dodgers were supposedly a juggernaut of a team that the Jays had no chance against. Even though they ultimately won I’m not sure the team we saw in the World Series could really be described as a juggernaut.

Yamamoto wins the World Series for the Dodgers. Without him they don’t repeat as champs.

What’s the baseball equivalent of ‘shoot the puck’?

If this were a hockey game I’d be shouting ‘shoot the puck!’

I couldn’t agree more Ann and you are right. It’s definitely not an issue exclusive to Peterborough.

At the park in the @cityptbo.bsky.social Hard to imagine how we will ever shift people out of cars if they can’t use public washrooms for 6 months of the year. How about we start with winterizing the ones being built at Knights of Columbus Park and then start retrofitting the rest from there.

How’s that so called pitching advantage for LA working out! Keeping underestimating us!

I keep telling decision makers in @cityptbo.bsky.social that protected bike lanes from Rotary trail in East City across Hunter St Bridge to the Bethune Bike street would accomplish exactly this.

New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.

“When streets became calmer & safer, more people felt comfortable trying a bike commute for the first time. Families began pedaling to the park…Local businesses saw new life…And cycling stopped feeling like a niche activity—it became part of everyday Parisian life.”

People want to have kids and live downtown. Can they? - Western City Magazine For decades, planners focused on attracting young singles to dense urban cores. That dynamic has shifted, in part because ...

NEW: “Some still insist ‘downtowns will never attract kids and shouldn’t try.’ Then they design downtown to virtually repel kids, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Vancouver proves the opposite can be true...”

Peterborough’s first bicycle-priority street a hit with cyclists Bethune Street from McDonnel to Townsend has been rebuilt to prioritize cyclists, and it's getting rave reviews from bike riders.

To avoid the kind of flood that happened in 2004 (because of that buried creek) the city built an underground flood way and on top of it the built a pretty great bike street. It’s not well connected yet but the potential is there.

100m sprint race. Bolt is way out in front.

Imagine a 100m race where we’ve given cars an 80m head start after many decades of building almost ONLY for them. If we then set a transportation goal of “balance” between many more choices in getting around, by definition we have to prioritize the new choices for a while, or they’ll never catch up.

Urbanist Brent Toderian Says Tall Buildings Are Not the Problem “Sarasota has a huge disconnect between the types of developments being built and the actual needs of the community."

“Good planning isn’t just technical, it’s political and cultural. You have to challenge the idea that all density is bad or that all developers are evil. But you also have to hold developers to high standards.” — Canadian @brenttoderian.bsky.social discusses density in @sarasotamagazine.bsky.social.

The rink in St Catherine’s is connected to downtown by pedestrian bridges but I think its proximity to the highway is probably the main reason for its location. I would encourage #ptbo City Councillors to visit Guelph, Kingston and London whose rinks are much better integrated into their downtowns.

And Edmonton can’t keep the puck in Florida’s end. It’s constantly one and done almost every time. #nhl #stanleycupfinal

Florida is so good at cycling the puck. Every time the get into Edmonton’s zone they cycle, they win battles, they keep the puck in, they turn pucks over.Edmonton will have to get the puck out of their own end quick and clean if they are to have any chance at winning this game #nhl #stanleycupfinal

Yes, and then we can walk freely across the border with Denmark on Hans Island.

I don’t know what’s worse what’s for Florida, losing tonight’s game after being up 3-0 in the first period, giving Edmonton home ice advantage back or that the series is 2-2 and Edmonton hasn’t actually played a good game yet. #NHL #StanleyCupFinal #GoOilersGo

For sure and let’s also build more housing downtown too (people who live there will shop and play there) and maybe two-way George and Water as well to slow down traffic and make the pedestrian experience of those streets less like a freeway.

I’m sorry to hear this Julie. I hope the appointment goes well

Wow, what a spectacular lineup this is. Maschmeyer in the net, vets like Sarah Nurse and Claire Thompson and players like JenniferGardiner and Abby Boreen who just had great seasons with the Victoire. This is a team that will be right in the mix in year 1.

And yet again!

I’m thinking Oetingwr jinxed himself with all the I’m going to be the US Olympic goalie thing during the Winnipeg series. Can’t play with the hockey gods that way!

Got to be one of the biggest upsets in #iihf history. You could feel it coming the longer the game went on without Canada finding its game.

What a spectacular start to the #wnba season for Caitlin Clark. 20-10-10 Triple double in first game of the year!
