I like riding my bike up to these and seeing what books people are stocking them with. I wonder how many full-time motorists don't even know these exist.

Games are set to be played this weekend at the main Olympic hockey arena, even as workers are rushing to get it into a final usable state.
NHL and NHLPA officials are on site to see how it goes. Bill Daly tells me he's cautiously optimistic, FWIW:

A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected.

![Excerpt reads: "Prioritize your neighborhood
Neighborhoods drive our happiness (or unhappiness) more than we think.
When Lina Martinez, director of POLIS, the Center for Wellbeing Studies at Universidad Icesi in Colombia, studied the happiness of households in the city of Cali, she couldn’t find much difference between poorer and richer areas. “Their happiness is pretty much the same,” she said. But that changed when she isolated neighborhood conditions, such as access to transit, health care and parks. “The conditions of the neighborhood affect happiness,” she said. “I can’t link that to the space where [people] live.”
That aligns with findings from a 2023 study of the Vancouver metro area: Researchers found no significant differences in well-being between people living in single detached homes, duplexes, townhouses, laneway houses and apartment buildings (basement units smaller than 300 square feet were the only negative exception). What did people say they missed most in their neighborhood? Affordability, proximity to family and friends, and a sense of community. Home design was eighth on the list."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreicapfknasylzk2lqzaxxeb5mchgnru75obggn45dusda6j5zogvuu@jpeg)

Has Granville Island been pedestrianized yet?
Good news: Sales at Pike Place Market were up 9.7% in September! That's four months of solid data showing the pedestrianization pilot is good for business.

This is what it looks like when a city is more comfortable sending bodies to the morgue than cars to the body shop.
Less than a week after they were installed, many of the flex posts on the BU bridge have been destroyed by vehicles. Appreciate the thought but cyclists clearly need more protection at these intersections.

Nikola Jokic is the savior of a Nuggets franchise that had long-been in the doldrums. Because of him, I was able to cheer and cry happy tears when the Nuggets won a title. He’s a humble man who cares more about horses than MVP trophies. You have an army of fans praying for you tonight, big fella.
