while it only looks like transit usage outperforms car usage in old toronto, looking at it broadly really shows what's wrong with our allotment of funding and infrastructure

>65% of trips in old toronto don't even use a car. yet, nearly all (>95%) of our roadspace is dedicated to serving cars

1/2
The Transportation Tomorrow Survey from 2022 that Minister Sarkaria and Doug Ford were hiding has been released. It shows cycling commute mode share is up 300% in Old Toronto since 2001. Now sitting at 11.3% in Old Toronto wards (4, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14), 10x bigger than "1.2%"!

it's far enough out from the election now that I can say the official Trump campaign selling "Latter-day Saints (Mormons) for Trump" beer coolers and coffee cups may be the funniest thing ever

Consultation on "Kensington Market Safe Streets" started in 2021. After 3 years of consultation, pretty much none of the initial design improvements are slated to be kept. Construction won't start until 2027, with more consultation starting in 2026 on "pedestrian zone pilots".

First article is up!

"We put out information to councillors, many of them put that into their newsletters. We had a social media notification. And we had a survey on our website that was open for seven months. We got 1,100 responses there."

Concerning to see the Liberal-Conservative coalition emerge on closing safe consumption sites. This will lead to preventable illness and death. The PCs didn’t need Liberal votes for it to pass, this is just what they believe

IVE BEEN SAYINGGGGG
edmonton feels like *the* city in north america to keep eyes on.

it's a sprawly oil boom city in the texas of canada, not a place people traditionally think of for urbanism.

yet, there's been citywide upzoning, removed parking minimums, rapid expansion of transit, & bikeways at an incredible pace.
