I constantly hear in some planning circles that "speed isn't a big issue for new transit", downplaying issues with our new LRTs.
and yet today i heard sooo many riders, young and old, ask "why is it so slow?"
"transit should be frequent, reliable, and FAST" shouldn't be a hot take!

Went for a 30 minute walk.
1. Nearly hit by a car running a stop sign.
2. Nearly hit by a car running a red light (but got to see the flash of a red light camera. Small victories)
3. Nearly hit by a car turning on a red without stopping…8 seconds after incident #2.
What are we even doing anymore?

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

most municipalities first move here would be to remove the bus stop rather than work towards making the crossing safer.
in toronto, our so-called "vision zero" program has pushed to remove TTC stops like this and hinder accessibility instead of making arterial roads safer

This is an absolutely typical intersection for a pedestrian fatality, and where two people have been killed in a year.
-5 lane arterial
-No marked crosswalk or crossing signal
-No median refuge
-Long distances to signalized crosswalks (600' to E, 850't to W)
-Critically, bus stops on both sides

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Toronto is at a crossroads. For too long, we’ve oriented our infrastructure around private vehicles, roads, parking lots & highways. In doing so, we’ve accepted serious trade-offs: poorer health, weaker communities, reduced safety and mobility for many. It’s time to pivot from car-centred thinking.
