Every time lying Pete Hoekstra opens his mouth, he drives Canada further and further away from the United States.
Is that the plan?

The entrance to the 3-storey bike parking garage at Utrecht Central holding 12,500 bicycles. It’s free for the first 24 hours, linked to the station, and used by tens of thousands every day. This is what happens when a country treats bikes as real transport infrastructure, not an afterthought.

Our last batch of #BikeTO modular Zicla accessible platforms was installed over the past week.
We've installed over 40 of these platforms over the past 8y
Many lessons have been learned, a lot of innovation made & some very strong partnerships forged.
Toronto is a winter city leader in this stuff.

Most excellent video. Explain so much about bad bad bad cycling infrastructure all throughout Burnaby BC. The legacy of Forester is tragic for every city across Canada. But wait! It’s 50 years later since his first book came out and seems about NIL has changed.

Found time to watch this yesterday and now I understand Canberra’s problems
WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand a BIG reason why cycling [aka riding a bike] is so dangerous in North America, and one of the biggest villains in the origin story of our unsafe status quo, invest some time watching this one, by NOT JUST BIKES (aka @theurbanistagenda.com here). Then share it.

This could threaten thousands of long-term renters and encourage bad faith evictions before next year’s FIFA World Cup.
Rents are down 10% partly because of these STR rules, but the BC Conservatives are trying to weaken and support repealing them entirely.
We won't let them.

If we don't rapidly phase out fossil fuels, we can say goodbye to coral reefs, the Greenland and Antarctic icesheets, and permafrost. The results will not be pretty.

Scientists are increasingly concerned that the planet is headed for massive, irreversible changes due to global warming. In some cases, those changes have already begun.

and i think we could often do a better job of making the pro-business case for bike and transit upgrades. the data is there but we forget to lead with it, only to find our projects so often get roadblocked or scaled back at the last minute by "business interests"
A complete, connected, comfortable network of protected bike-lanes is a climate mitigation strategy. It’s a healthy cities strategy. It’s a social equity strategy. It’s an affordability strategy. It’s an economic devt strategy. It’s a smart mobility & space saving strategy.
