When Winter Turns Our Communities into Obstacle Courses: Accessibility, Snow, and Being Disabled in Public Spaces | Northeast Arc Winter has a way of exposing everything that’s already broken.

"Winter is revealing. It shows whose safety is prioritized. It shows whose mobility matters. It shows who is expected to adapt, and who isn’t. If accessibility disappears the moment conditions change, then it was never truly embedded to begin with."

Seriously, WHEREVER you are in the world, I recommend watching all of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s powerful & already famous speech at Davos.

Can’t underestimate its leadership importance.

Annex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanes Stores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes ...

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

Live and love.

One of my core beliefs about urbanism is that change is scary at first but most of the time, people just get used to it or even come to appreciate it.

This applies to new bike lanes, denser housing developments, traffic calming, etc.

Moving to a more walkable city pays off for health, scientists find | CBC News People who moved to a walking friendly city walked more, and at the brisk pace favoured to improve health and prevent disease, a new natural experiment shows.

“Walkable cities allow you to access more amenities on foot for daily life, like going to school or work, buying ingredients for dinner…But that's not available to everyone, given many cities and suburbs in Canada and the U.S. have been designed to emphasize transport by car, urban planners say.”

Human connection to nature has declined 60% in 200 years, study finds Prof Miles Richardson says people risk ‘extinction of experience’ in the natural world without new policies

I happily admit that I'm much more connected to nature and wildlife around me when I bike for transportation.

I never got that in a car.
