Today I emailed my city councillor about getting like 30ft of bike path made so kids can ride their bikes to school without riding through a parking lot.
My best guess is that this is at minimum a two year mission.

And now for some actually good news!
My city is transferring land to build more than a thousand "affordable" and "attainable" housing units. With a focus on 3 and 4 bedroom units.
It's a start, not a finish. But I'm happy we're starting.

If you really need it to cover your own expenses, that's okay too. :)

Voted this morning! Yay for being dutifully-minded.
I'm kind of chuckling, because I was like, 'Okay, going to use Google Maps to find the place because I remember wandering around a bunch last time', and no, it's right behind McLaren. Just cut across the McLaren arena parking lot and take a quick hop down a slope and you're at the Calvary.
I swear, just call me Ryoga Hibeki or something.
Remember to get out there, my fellow Central Kitchenerites, if you've yet to do so!

There are now 14 registered candidates for the #Kitchener Centre provincial byelection, plus one who's declared but is as yet unregistered. There may be a few more registrations before Wednesday, when registrations close.

Candidates for smaller parties are declaring their candidacy and registering for the Kitchener Centre byelection. I expect there will be a small deluge just before nominations close on 16 November.

When talking about cities, and advocating for the kind of city I want to see, I frequently lean on some of the same resources.
To make my life easier, I've collected them into a blog post: https://ghost.preinheimer.com/resources-i-lean-on-when-talking-about-cities/
Maybe you'd find some of them interesting?

A thing I really miss on here that I got a lot of on the bird site is snarky political commentary on local, Toronto, and provincial issues and events. There's some of that on here, but there are a ton of people I miss. And I'm much less well-informed because of it.
