Will I be going out of my way to take the crosstown to get up to my parents today? Absolutely.

Many are saying this

feeling incredibly vindicated that my super niche research topic is getting good feedback from potential interview participants. Who says that parking isn't a sexy policy issue??

heads up for those waiting for confirmation of the line 5 eglinton opening date - it's coming tomorrow morning at a TTC Board update.

it'll either be a confirmation of the february 8 date (which the TTC has already slated post-opening service changes for), or an (unplanned) deferred opening date.

Absolutely reasonable theory but I also think there are racial under/overtones in the complaints many ppl raise.

Local safe streets advocate has more photos of bike lanes, crosswalks and intersections than of his family from recent vacation. WINDSOR, ON - The father of two who went with the family to Montreal for their summer vacation ended up spending nearly ¾ of the time pointing out bike infrastructure, intersections and pedestrianized streets. It's been reported that nearly 753 photos and videos were taken with only 3 of them including his family. When reached for comment the oldest child said "we know it's gonna be bad when dad finds a bike share

Stay tuned for my masters major research paper 👀

Hockey isn’t our national culture. Cars are.

Being allowed to turn through a red light is so uncivilized.

Imagine lighting up a cigarette on an airplane and then getting mad at the airline that the "no smoking" sign that's been there for 30 years wasn't neon yellow, 5 foot wide, and flashing

We literally tried to reduce the amount of lanes and implement traffic calming 18 months ago but residents lost their minds!!! You can’t have it both ways!

Nice try. These are just Neopets

Just take away his license…

Will never be able to see crosswalks the same thanks to @kayehm.bsky.social. So close, yet so far.

So you break the law and pass the cost onto you clients?

Some say he’s still on his way to the Milan Airport

Absolute SCENES in the National Capital Region this summer

No. They should be banned at all urban intersections.

God forbid an Anglo-Canadian romanticize Montreal

Community: You got that new rail corridor rendering for us?

Metrolinx: Sure do boss, real bleak and strangely melancholy just like you asked

Community: what

My tinfoil hat theory is that Rogers’ Stadium is a test run for Ed Rogers to see if he can bring an NFL team to Toronto and inevitably get the city to pay for a permanent 60k person arena. Results are not looking promising for Mr Rogers :/

The idea that somehow people speeding and getting a fine for speeding is anything but their own fault is crazy! The whole speed camera discourse totally ignores. The drivers actually need to be responsible when they're operating a dangerous vehicle on public roads.

Who needs Mont Cascade when we have Bay Street?!

Though, I will say that a huge reason why cycling saw a huge uptake in the 70s in the Netherlands was largely due to international crises like the OPEC oil crisis. Just something to think about as we’re all laser focused on the straits of Hormuz.

We can’t reason our way to safe streets. This is not the Netherlands of the 1970s. This has always been a culture war football with one side advocating for a communal and compassionate approach to cities and the other advocating for an anti-social and cynical vision.

Toronto Bollard spotting here in Ottawa 👀

Very curious to know if the magnetic joycons are better than the sliding ones!

I wish Ottawa had bikeshare

Obviously things could be improved but I genuinely think that we were staring down the barrel of a truly catastrophic transit death spiral in 2022
