To all those I follow on Twitter, if I'm not following you here it is most likely because of laziness rather than because I don't want to. If you feel left out by my not following you, reply to my tweet (or whatever we call posts here), and I might rectify that.

Statement from Senator John Fetterman about today’s events in Minnesota:
Municipal governments need to stop thinking of these projects as “one offs” where each rec centre is a bespoke project for the community. Instead, they should just adopt standardized designs that are periodically updated based on lessons learned and feedback.
We have a consultation problem. I write about a Toronto rec centre that will have taken 14 years to plan, cost at least three times the original budget - and be a bad building.

TBF, “it is frankly bizarre that” can preface every instance of “Trump’s case for”.
It is frankly bizarre that Trump’s case for ousting Maduro is based on drugs (which aren’t that much of a thing) and oil (a marginal and extremely long-term thing, if any) but not on migration/refugees despite that having fuelled his 2024 victory and dominated his domestic policy.

This needs to be embedded in #OttCity planning; no more “consulting” or “balance” but taken at face value: build bike lanes, proper bike lanes, and maintain them in all our urban areas, traditional main streets etc.
“Survey after survey has shown that business owners overestimate how many customers drive to their stores vs walking or biking. In a 2012 Los Angeles study, more than half of the store owners on the bike-laned part of the boulevard thought most of their customers drove. The actual number was 15%.”
I read all the studies on the economic impact of bike lanes. Here's what I learned.
Research proves that bike lanes are good for business. So why do so many stores and restaurants still oppose them?
