Did you tell them "Nice bike!"?

I think Victoria's elected officials generally know what's up. But there are structures and institutions that stand in the way. A block away from here is a narrow bike connection. The homeowner is willing to sell a sliver to widen the path, but the Transportation dept doesn't buy real estate so...

You're welcome!

Pray tell, Strøget business owners of 1962, how were the cars shopping in your businesses?

The first thing I thought of.

They’re also undertaking the only acceptable highway widening project, which is creating bus only lanes. If these stretch unbroken from downtown Victoria to the Colwood exchange, that will be a win. I’m also hoping for the train tracks that have been idle since 2011 to start hosting passenger rail.

They adjusted their schedule so I could theoretically take my kid to school by bus and possibly arrive before the bell, I guess? I bike him there, but at least the bus is an option.

I’m glad the article also mentions Japan and South Korea. It’d be nice to see more Japanese trucks on our roads in place of the child crushing monstrosities pushed relentlessly at us through marketing.

What about if you climb up under that jellyfish thing? Badabing badaboom, protection from sun and rain. (But you’re boned if you try to get down after the rain)

Yes! And then zone for the kind of businesses and services people will walk to near the transit stations - especially at the ground floor of those buildings.

Is the US also going to repeal the chicken tax and just apply the same tariffs to small Japanese trucks?

Absolutely. “VicPD investigating two separate collisions involving electric kick scooters” - sounds like the people on the scooters hit something. It should say “VicPD searching for two drivers who hit people on scooters who had right of way and then left scene.” But that appears beyond VicPD to do.

I hope both drivers are found and get the punishments they deserve.

I thought this would be the way, back when I first learned about it in the late aughties - youtu.be/FcoJt2KLC9k?...

Battery swapping needed the right niche; not personal vehicles, but long distance trucking (though long distance freight probably should be done by rail where possible).
