I was on the floor above the parking of this building on the terrace when it started shaking.

Started slow, locked in eyes with another gringo as we both realized what was happening.

Then it started shaking more which was our signal to run down the […]

Had so much fun taking the cable bus (line 3) in Mexico City. It’s fast and the view is amazing. Makes me think of a ski lift but just a bit higher.

I love taking transit in other cities and see how it compares to home.

Mexico City has of course lots of coverage: 195 stations and 12 lines. It cost 5 pesos (0.40 CAD).

It’s often faster to an equivalent car ride when comparing with Google maps.

Lily Cheng would like to tell you that it's important to wear reflective vest as a pedestrian, but has nothing to say to drivers about slowing down when conditions are bad.

#VisionZero #topoli #toronto #willowdale
SAFETY REMINDER: Darker days mean less visibility on the road. As we experience shorter days and longer nights, combined with fog, rain, snow, or storms, it can be very hard for drivers to see pedestrians. Wearing dark clothing makes it even more difficult to be noticed. A simple, bright reflective vest—even an inexpensive one from a dollar store— can make all the difference. Be seen. Be safe. Shine bright this season.

Screenshot from that Shelley Carroll newsletter
In suburban communities like Don Valley North, homes that now fall into the $3 million range are often long-held family properties, not “luxury estates,” and further increases risk discouraging healthy housing turnover. When families feel pressured to stay put because selling becomes too costly, it slows the market for younger families trying to move into our neighbourhoods.

As much as Quebec goes too far with laïcité, especially around dictating what you can wear and prayers in public space.

I guess my understanding of the motion wasn't complete, while for full neighborhood it would be restricted to East York and Toronto, it would bring it city-wide on what the city considers major streets.

Well that part is a win.

For example, that's […]
