Reduced stop spacing can speed up transit in very valuable ROW, with bikeshare can filling the gaps. City should be working to ensure they have the resources to continue expanding and keeping stations balanced. Currently no bikes near st Clair and dufferin.

Le vrai probleme restent l'étalement urbaine à faible densité. J'ai aucun soucis avec des projets dans les anciens cœurs villageoise mais c'est préférable que ca remplacement des stationnement. Je comprends la réaction 'NIMBY' pour un projet a côté du lac.

Every legacy media has a Driving section, where journalists whose main concern is torque are occasionally asked to opine on micro-mobility. Of course this is how they react 🙄

Time for an MMI episode on this topic? On point about ideal ownership % and social cohesion, Montreal is a majority renter city with strong investment in public realm and free activities. As a renter, it gives me some sense of security and inclusion. I want my Right-to-the-city and YIMBY solutions.
