No Cops. No Cars. No Capitalism.
Something's very wrong with this map. Can you tell what it is? I'll give you a hint... Those are train stations and the orange color is a specific type of land use that north america loves.

It always blows my mind that a journey through Calgary's downtown by train takes 15 minutes. Its only 2km! But that's what happens if you dont give signal priority to a train with 600 people on it, and it has to give way to a handful of selfish people in personal vehicles. #calgary #fuckcars

The firm Stantec has been named. Put them on the shelf with Diamond Schmitt & Urban Strategies as corporate citizens who’ll take the cash to destroy part of the city (and here put lives at risk).
Stantec is working with the Ford gov't to rip out bike lanes in Toronto, despite the injunction that prevents this work taking place until March & despite the tens of thousands of Ontarians who don't want to see their money wasted ripping out perfectly good infrastructure we paid to put in:
Shame on you, Stantec

The first 6 of 9 suggestions by the Calgary Police are for people walking:
1. Use crosswalks
2. Look both ways when crossing the street
3. Obey pedestrian signals
4. Watch for inattentive drivers on multiple lanes
5. Don't jaywalk
6. Make eye contact with driver

City of Calgary and DT Calgary Assc: come back to the office! Spend money downtown! This is the place to be!

Also, because addressing social issues is too hard, were just going to take away all the seating. What do you mean you want to do enjoy your lunch in the Sun?

Best I could do is one bridge with 30 bikes. Sorry

How cute! The developers named the building 'Flyover' after the urban freeway next to them. The same freeway that's going to give the residents asthma, cardiovascular disease and premature death!

Prime example of my want for more watts! This is the godox v860iii speed light. About 75 watt seconds. But you get that fall off around the tops of the building as it moves further away from the lens. I'm thinking something like an AD600 should do the trick. #photograhy #alberta #calgary #flash

As a renter in an 'up and coming' neighbourhood, the scariest thing you can see is a land surveyor out the front of your house setting up a total station and peering down the side. #killyourlandlord
