I can’t believe our provincial MLAs would be too lazy/ incompetent to create new legislation allowing every/ any single municipality to set their own default speed limit. Might be time to press our MLAs.

The location on the stop sign has no bearing on where you are required to stop.
I wish Councillors weren't so ignorant!

We consult things to death on bike lanes like its a major environmental assessment, but give near blank cheques for major road projects.

Great concise argument from Allan.
Who could possibly want to make neighborhood streets more livable after that insight!

These authors reviewed 73 previous studies examining car touchscreens.

Conclusion: They're awful

"Touchscreens tended to have negative effects on driving performance, visual attention, and secondary task performance compared with voice control and physical controls."

But if working people didn't have to give a big chunk of their money to banking, insurance, car and oil businesses just to be able to exist in society, what then? It's like you want to make Global Capital sad, Tom

I've largely stopped posting #HydrogenSoufflé because it seems distasteful to dance on the graves of so many dreams. But... Aberdeen is flogging its hydrogen bus fleet for scrap.

How much money was wasted on this 100% predicable outcome? Will heads roll?

If she is asking, I'd like her to remove herself from the PW committee.

They made a promise to do something this year and we need to hold them to it. A permanent solution is likely a few years away at best. Lets not forget how slow our city moves on AT.

More transfers and more walking (on our poorly maintained sidewalks) added onto the already horrible service.

That the Proper Officers of the City be authorized to implement the intent of the foregoing.

So, who is ready to be mad at city hall again? Public Works agenda is up for next week, and they want to do *NOTHING* on safer speeds for *ANOTHER YEAR*

Three FX4 buses and two Blue Line buses stacked up on Portage Ave.
Pathetic fucking city!!!

Winnipeg Transit stuck in traffic, in the "Diamond Lane".

Vaughan and Portage, city of Winnipeg flexing it's anti-pedestrian tendencies!
No crossing in either direction from the north-east corner.
No warning , no acknowledgement, and obviously no reason given.

Preach, Uncle Watt.

It takes a "special person*" to come up with a bylaw to infringe on people's rights, and then claim they're trying to protect the vulnerable.

Wild that we're in an existential budget crisis and "charge market rates for parking" isn't on the table.

Kitchener, Ontario, 1932.

Assertions to the effect that “people preferred to drive” are guesses in the guise of explanations. In cities, a minority of motorists degraded streetcar service for the majority.

Looks like the City of Winnipeg’s snow clearing strategy of waiting until it melts is working out quite nicely on some of the sidewalks.

Rest assured that the overnight snow removal operation, did not clear the bike lane.

The front basket of a trike riding on the flat sidewalk because the road on the left is very uneven, bumpy and mushy with snow.

A huge pit in sidewalk due to excessive packed snow.

A boot on the sidewalk showing the depth of packed snow is higher than the boot. The snow has been cleared up to that point only, leaving an unsafe drop in sidewalk.

I was all excited to post I finally found a road (Pentland in NK) where the sidewalk was plowed better than the street! But alas at Fortier I unexpectedly hit a pit deeper than my boot. Can you imagine if the road suddenly dropped 8 inches . #hazard @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social @atcritic.bsky.social

Utterly shocking (actually common practice), the @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social has not maintained the Harrow Street bike lanes.
Showing off their negligence and complete disregard for people on bicycles.
