I was so confused by these comments on the video I had to look up what it meant 😂

The wealthy elites got what they wanted- $500M of taxpayer money being gambled on a privately run arena upgrade we don’t even need

Remember how Sutcliffe attacked McKenney’s bike lane plan for using “a quarter of $1 billion on bike lanes”(Ignoring the fact that it was a cost neutral plan that used green bonds with already allocated funds).

And now he spends double that to gamble on something we don’t even need…

It doesn’t help when the city literally makes parking free on weekends to encourage people to drive and visit businesses, but transit remains fixed cost. The double standard is ridiculous

Him and Shawn are conflating the crappy hyper-limited peak hour bus lanes like they’re as effective as permanent bus lanes.

Unless Lansdowne events align with the limited commuter peak hours and direction, there will be no difference than what we have today.

This proved to be more than a metaphor.

The only solution to traffic is better alternatives than driving, and bus lanes help us achieve that ✌️

While agree that it’s better to use recognizable info over numbers when practical, adding too many details adds cognitive overload - increasing time to read for everyone. So keeping them for major exits is fine, with minor exits using numbers.

Surprisingly it’s not that bad for a 3D map haha, but still more complicated than it has to be. If it’s paired alongside standard maps it could be okay

Also as an aside point, I just moved to Tokyo for a year! So please look forward to more Tokyo/Japan urbanism videos (and more consistent uploads). I still have some Ottawa related topics in the pipeline as well though
