In the Netherlands, over 40% of rail passengers arrive by bike. Since 2012 the country has invested €400m+ to add 200,000 new bike parking spaces at stations. The result? More rail use, fewer car trips, lower congestion and emissions, better public health - and far more efficient use of urban space.

Lesson to Canadian mayors: you can stand up to premiers. They’ve got the power but you have the people.
Lesson to Ontario liberals as they search for someone again
Zohran Mamdani overcoming a nationwide smear campaign from both sides of the establishment once again proves that there is no substitute for simply being the person you say you are.

Every compromise is more dead & injured people of all sorts. And it doesn’t matter, Ford still banned them. So stop compromising & take a real stand. All this does is make drivers feel more emboldened to drive dangerously.
Here are the new speed camera warning signs Toronto will start installing on Nov 15, if speed cameras are still permitted. City also targeting that date for change limiting operating hours of cameras to 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays only. secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

It's just dishonest and malicious gov't that continually puts lives at risk. Ontario doesn't care.
Taking the “parallel secondary route” adds almost a kilometre of travel time along that route.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
