Only two streets in Victoria now allow 50 km/h — parts of Blanshard and Douglas
City council unanimously adopted a bylaw on Thursday reducing the speed limit for nearly every street in the city to 40 km/h or lower.

Important thread 👇
The US is not a car culture, because if a behavior can be explained rationally there is no need to explain it culturally.
Most people in the US use cars because they live/travel in places where there are no alternatives.
Only given alternatives can we tell if people really love their cars.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.
Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

Six months ago this morning, I was out with my kids, on the way to the park. I knew the collection of police vehicles along Wellington Cres signaled tragedy on a dangerous stretch of road, but my heart sank when I saw Rob Jenner’s mangled bike laying alongside a stretch we traveled regularly.
