“OUR city isn’t [insert name of a much more livable & successful city here].”
Trust me, we know that. It’s abundantly obvious that you’re not that city.
That city made, and continues to make, much better choices with fewer excuses.
The real question is, do you want YOUR city to be better or not?

This is the balance our city thinks is appropriate. It completely is not. We spend millions on cycling infrastructure and close it for half the year. What if we did this to roads? Shoukd we close Strandherd ($112m) from Dec-April? 1/ @brenttoderian.bsky.social ottawacitizen.com/news/carleto...

If you widen that highway
you won’t reduce emissions
or congestion.
What you WILL do
is spend a lot of public money
to induce even more cars
emitting even more GHGs & pollution
in the same or worse congestion
with people still telling you to widen the highway.
Period.
