I recently had the pleasure of listening to Mitchell Forgie on how too restrictive & demanding of parking requirements leads to bordered up, derelict buildings and parking lots in the midst of downtown prime retail. Great ideas Mitch. #kamloops

A blue and yellow shared bike stands in the aisle of a bright white underground parking facility in Amsterdam.

Public transport often treats bikes as a luxury—or worse a competitor—but without them leaves revenue on the table.

For 25 years, the Dutch have extended the reach of their railways through investments in (300,000) parking spaces and (25,000) shared bikes. The result? A doubling of train ridership.

If it’s not built, there’s no chance! 😀

200+ folks out for the 3rd annual Nicolas’ Run for Mental Health. Everyone was there for someone. Thank you Rei for organizing the run in memory of your son.

Local leaders are closest to Canada’s most pressing priorities like housing and the infrastructure that supports it. They’re also the ones with the solutions. As a former Mayor himself, CPC MP @scottaitchison.bsky.social knows this all too well.
