Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via @StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/…

I put a LOT of stock in Lisa’s assessment of what’s needed for skills & values on Vic Council to ensure a vibrant city for the future. Love her leadership & long-term thinking. So glad she weighed in. #yyjpoli My Picks for Mayor & Council –Lisa Helps lisahelpsvictoria.ca/2022/10…

A truck is not a speech. A horn is not a voice. An occupation is not a protest. A blockade is not freedom, it blocks the liberty of all. A demand to overthrow a government is not a dialogue. The expression of hatred is not a difference of opinion. A lie is not the truth.

The left image is Renaissance Florence; on the right is an Atlanta interchange, shown at the same scale. This was my first image to go viral, thanks to a repost by Lloyd Alter at Treehugger. For weeks, I had to keep proving that the scale was the same; I still have proof. 1/

Want to build a bowling alley in Edmonton? You’ll need five parking spaces per lane. These maps of the city show how policies there have created WAY too much parking. But that may soon change. bit.ly/39kuwhg
