We're asked to review the list of attributes, and add to it -- they don't even consider the possibility that any should be removed.

When asked if the boundaries of the proposed area are correct, answering "no" gives you a text box for providing additional areas to include -- they don't even consider that they might've been overly inclusive already (e.g. including a parking lot with zero heritage value)

The survey asks for why protection is warranted -- but when thinking about future change, it implicitly regards change as negative, and prompts residents to think about whether they'd allow change at all. This reeks of status quo bias.

Another black-on-black-on-black Trek bike in the market bike cage? But that's my brand!

Happy new mechanical keyboard day to all who celebrate

Plenty of cyclists at the market, but I'm the only one in the bike parking cage 🤔

I'm receiving some truly wild ads today. (This one is selling the backhoe she's riding on)

Gotta see the thing at least once before coming home

Delivery options for a real city.

To keep their delivery time guarantee, this Paris grocery store has chosen a cargo bicycle.

You can just close streets to car traffic and put up signs explaining why you did it (Paris has slashed air pollution by 50% by doing stuff like this) #ParisRespire

You can actually just close a street to car traffic. It is in fact that simple, despite the pearl-clutching of North American traffic engineers.

Fascinating results happening in this survey regarding Kitchener's official plan revision.

"Best" is perhaps subjective, but I gotta give props to those who wrote a correct answer under "other"... seems rude to not provide the most correct answers as options though.

Trains are cool.
Seeing cool things from cool trains is even cooler.

The largest sneckdown you've ever seen (Riley included for scale)
The pedestrian crossing distance here is like double what it should be.
