Per this excellent article from @urbanismspeakeasy.com, "We don’t hold referendums on airplane safety. The same logic should apply to street design." #BikeTO #BikeSky #ottbike #VeloMTL #BikeHFX #BikeWPG #YYCbike #YEGbike #BikeYVR #VisionZero

Here are the same map settings (same map classes, same zoom level) for other cities in Canada: Victoria, BC, Halifax, NS, and Montreal, QC #bikeyyj #bikehfx #bikemtl #velomtl

My third starter pack is focused on Canadian cyclists (and urbanists) outside of Ontario. Also welcoming suggestions to help complete that starter pack. #BikeSky #BikeTO #ottbike #VeloMTL #BikeHFX #BikeWPG #YYCbike #YEGbike #BikeYVR #BikeYYJ #cdnpoli #CanadaSky #ElbowsUp bsky.app/starter-pack...

I wouldn’t have thought it possible for a politician to be more petty, ill-informed, and divisive regarding cycling than Ontario Premier Doug Ford. And yet the Nova Scotia Premier and Mayor of Halifax are determined to shift the epicentre of car-brained wedge politics to Halifax! Boys and their toys!

"Houston said he remains hopeful that ‘common sense will prevail,’ and asked council to reverse their decision by Aug. 6. If that does not happen, Houston said ‘the provincial government will be forced to act’ and use Bill 24 for the first time. The bill was passed this spring but not proclaimed, and allows the public works minister to override decisions by municipal councils related to transportation.”

I think this is an especially important point for #bikehfx and #halisky to keep in mind, especially in light of the Premier's disingenuous hand-wringing over emergency vehicle access on Morris St.: Protected bike lanes make ALL ROAD USERS safer. That includes our precious, sacred drivers.

Every year Halifax has a mural festival, and new murals go up all over the place. The old ones generally stay up too, so every year, lots more public art, everywhere. Here's one of the new ones at my local organic grocery store. #BikeHFX #HalifaxNS

The latest "Not Just Bikes" clip discusses how self-driving cars will destroy cities and how cities like Utrecht prove we don't need driverless cars, but rather carless drivers. #BikeTO #ottbike #VeloMTL #BikeHFX #BikeWPG #YYCbike #YEGbike #BikeYVR #BikeYYJ #VisionZero youtu.be/040ejWnFkj0?...
