True. Too many people have Main Character Syndrome and need to be reminded the world does not revolve around them.

I agree with you there, the phrase "let them cook" comes to mind. If we have a department in charge of transportation, that department should figure out how to maximize transportation. The public should be concerned about the results, not the how.

People leading a project need to realize some things are not designed for everyone, and aim to reduce broad, one-size-fits-all disappointment. I don't think many good things were designed on the back of populism.

This is my favorite meme template.

You would think so but, it's probably seen as a fairly diffuse area that would get little actual risk reduction for the effort/money it would to take to enforce.

But it's a great strawman for people who hate ebikes.

Looks like you both already got this in another thread...

Anyways, those lots were super empty at 4:30PM today, maybe it will be like that for Wednesday thru Saturday.

Calgary Chinatown BIA says progress on long-term cultural plan has stalled, presses city council to act | CBC News More than three years after city council signed off on a cultural plan for Calgary's Chinatown, the community's business improvement area head says little has been down to revitalize the neighbourhood...

The kicker here @calgaryk.bsky.social @bigtimeyyc.bsky.social is there apparently still isn't enough parking.

"It's a neighbourhood that could use some revitalization, making it a bit more walkable, having more parking,"

Idaho stop! Iowa? Stop.

How does New Jersey intend to differentiate acoustic bikes from ones with in-tube batteries or a frame bag around the battery?

Serious question, can they differentiate a rear hub drive from Enviolo or Shimano hub? A mid-drive from a gear box?

Sounds like a nightmare to spot who needs a plate.

As they say, never waste a good crisis.

Minimum flow of Bow River is 6x current max usage. But is fed by Bow Glacier and 90% of all glacier ice might be gone by 2100.

Alberta was pretty dry a few hundred years ago and might be again...

Based on Winter & Summer usage the current system can provide for 40% more than current user base.

Would need a graduated rate such that users that are above average by some amount would have to pay double and those under pay less for those liters. Twinning the system will cost 5x operations costs.

Totally agree w/ share dealing w/ storage, theft & maintenance.

You get what I'm saying, in cities where train/buses are city funded, tacking 10% to bike share users for the equity plan could raise the cost to a point to limit user base (tho Mobi passes seem much cheaper than we can get here).

I found it weird in Vancouver that the bike share users fund the subsidized share users instead of the city. Seems like a way to inflate the cost and discourage the full cost users. Even looking at the monthly rates here, I wouldn't be able to just it instead of a transit pass or buy a bike.

...especially the musicians.

I feel like a car wouldn't pull out in front of you when you're 10m away if your bike were 5000 lbs.

Go figure the picture they use for the story is care of the infamous stroad, 16 ave. I guess even cars sometimes have trouble crossing 5 lanes of traffic...

Let me post a song to answer where I think the perspectives are at for the people causing the damage.

youtu.be/pHfveH2QtLI?...

I mean, its already weaponized.

The only time they come for folks parked all week in a 2hr zone is when somebody calls in on somebody else...

Yeah, it's pretty crazy to see in this particular neighborhood because most of the parking is 2hr...

Like, the city could make a lot of money, reduce congestion and increase safety by simply enforcing their parking and traffic light laws...

Yes

"The Left Right Game" by QCODE sucks me in once a year. Pretty engaging thing if you haven't already heard/read it.

QCODE's Ad Lucem was good too, but maybe warrants a trigger warning.

I have been thinking the same thing for the last few months.

Or even taking away one lane of parking or one driving lane on side streets for more seperated sidewalks/bike lanes. People don't use the car lanes as seen in this picture. That's the only way ice and snow can build in this pattern.

Yes. But funny enough, i listend to BobbyBrocolli before because ofthe excellent videoos on Nortel, Jan Hendrik, Bogdanoffs, color imaging and America’s missing collider.

This BobbyBrocolli video reminds me of a lot of things @tinybeaches.bsky.social posts about and videos shared. War on cars (bikes), inefficiency of lumping suburbs into cities and the curious boundaries of electoral maps (such as this one). youtu.be/nACJOKV_YYA?...

I'm not familiar biking that area yet. This is near 11 St Sw and 58 Ave?

I generally hit up 10 St or Crowchild imstead of 19 St regardless of the weather. This little blue sign and paint man don't instill much confidence.

I learned that term today... s-necking.

That's good news. My 2nd ave experience so far is soley based on 800 block.

I started on the West side this morning and had to nope out after a block. The first half block was clear but the second half... good thing for studded tires.
