In the alternative universe category, Penticton BC city councillors have decided not to talk about safe separated bike lanes for three years because they think there are other things that are more important. You just can’t make this stuff up. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

Great to meet @bmdoucet on his Canadian tour! The @ChatrLab team did tour of Vancouver's bicycle infrastructure - talking about what is working, as well as what is not. Thanks @mobi_bikes for the e-bike support for the hills 🤣

Here are two ways that arterial streets can grow. We can create hollow neighbourhoods, or we can create places where neighbours have the freedom to walk to shops and services.
I live between these streets. Main offers me freedom and joy. Cambie feels empty and alienating.
