Want flowers that bloom well past first frost AND self-seed? Grow Cosmos! They're not perennials, but the seeds they drop survive winter and sprout in the spring. AND it gives bees something to harvest in Autumn. #gardening

We have an amazing opportunity in Waterloo Region to use lessons from our own ION light rail to expand our network. If we can get funding for ION stage 2 at comparable levels to peer projects, good management and procurement could leave enough funds for a whole second line!
The most underappreciated issue in urbanism is the Anglosphere’s transit construction cost problem.
It’s not just that we’re spending too much money on any particular project.
It’s that we could be getting *much more transit* for the *same amount of money we’re currently spending*.
