The distribution of public land in cities has serious implications for how we move, how safe we feel, and who can access opportunities. @lanrickbennett.bsky.social + our data viz team find that 80% of T.O. street space is dedicated to motor vehicles:

Bike lanes are a key issue in Montréal's elections. It's important that these conversations are informed by data. Our study of street space in Montréal was featured on an invited article in @theconversation.com.

Montréal’s bike infrastructure hardly takes up any space from cars on city roads
Bike infrastructure in Montréal takes up less than three per cent of the roadway, while car infrastructure has more than 90 per cent of roads across the city.

Happy to have @daniel-romm.bsky.social stop by the @uoftcities.bsky.social offices this afternoon to chat in between his well deserved media interviews.
Tagging some friends @davidzipper.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social @nerd4cities.bsky.social I think will be interested in Daniel’s work.
