Thanks. I passed the work being done yesterday afternoon. It will be great to have this done.

Is there a plan to revitalize the cycling path that runs along Greenbank Road between Fallowfield and Hunt Club? It has been in bad shape for years, but there was extensive damage to parts of it over the winter.

I have to get myself one of those jerseys!

I’d be lucky to get sharrows! Instead we get asphalt patches on our sidewalk!

Sam Altman changed his mind about Trump, so I've changed my mind about OpenAI.

Can I take "all of the above" Alex?

If only we provided as much housing for humans as we provide for cars.

I have so much more free time, and I’m getting through my pile of books!

Here is hoping the new administration doesn't tear it all down.

The truth can be unpleasant sometimes. Unfortunately this conflicts with politicians desire to get elected \ re-elected. The simple lie is a lot more palatable than the complex truth. Thanks for sharing this passage. Will need to add this to the list after I finish Tactical Urbanism!

Perhaps to be equipped to remove the existing oil\gas as part of the transition? (I don’t know, but you raise a good point!)

100% I walk to the train station for my trips to YYZ. Haven’t flown it in years. Maybe one day it will travel faster, but it is still my preferred choice.

Make it more convenient to cycle than drive.

Once again, Dave Barry nails it.

Probably the most apt explanation I’ve ever heard.

Reminds me of the stoic quote: “It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.”

Yet another argument in favor of walkable cities designed for pedestrians and cycles rather than for cars

“…if your city invests…”

By this point, I don’t understand why more cities don’t invest. Perhaps it is still seen only as a cost.

You can turn it upside down and use it to hang hockey gear! (Like and subscribe for more great tips.)

Ford’s government can find $2.2B for a luxury spa, but can’t fix Ontario’s crumbling schools.

- 40% of schools need repairs.
- That’ll hit 75% in 10 years.
- The backlog will balloon to $22B.

Spas, not schools. That’s The Cost of Doug.

Places designed for walking = Great for walking
Places designed for cycling = Great for cycling
Places designed for driving = Terrible traffic everywhere

How the World moves. 🌎

And we don't simply build what is needed for growth, no, we build the BEST roads, BEST parks, BEST rec centres. We make the new residents of urban infill developments pay the DCs that go towards new luxury suburban infrastructure.

DCs are fueling the sprawl. They need a major overhaul.

Weeps in #OttCity fare increases due to manufactured budget crisis while dry heaving over blowing hundreds of millions on suburban roads

Hundreds of bicycles are parked in rows in a plaza outside of a secondary school in Delft, The Netherlands.

With 60% of trips by bike, teens are the age group that cycle the most in the Netherlands—over 2,000 km. per capita per year.

Rather than spend these years depending on parents and waiting for a driver’s license, they experience the autonomy promised by the car without its stress, danger, and cost.

a sidewalk and bike lane covered in snow and the road perfectly cleared. One of these is not like the others. A city's priorities become as clear as the spaces they choose to maintain in the winter.

Too bad they can’t invest in redesigning the street so it doesn’t need a speed camera!
