A great (but rare) example of a construction detour directly alongside the worksite, making it logical for all ages to follow. 🚧
The MUP was torn up and with heavy dump truck traffic in the area, the pylons and construction tape help define a safer area for 🧑🦽🚶♀️🚲.

Love this project on Onigam St preserving the remains of this old stone structure, boat launch, green space, patio and a great view of the river and Centretown!
And it's a City project? 😲😍

In case you missed it today, great coverage about the recent bikelash in Canada from conservative politicians and what cities like Paris are doing right to reduce car congestion and improve mobility.

The fine for parking on the sidewalk is $55 and in a bike lane $120.
The fine for parking in an accessible parking space with no permit is $500.
As they all impact #accessibility, why are they not all $500 fines? 🧐

Ford is not wrong saying that they can be a tax grab.

Roman's perspective on how to make cities better using little money: bus rapid transit. Paint some lines, reallocate resources. Easy and you move way more people around your city.

So great to see paid parking coming to #Hintonburg!
Great for businesses to allow for turnover and great that the City can now start recouping costs from such valuable space.
What would be even better? Wider sidewalks and mobility lanes! Next step 😉
