Municipal issues, data, transportation, history, yelling at drivers. Serious ideas, unserious person. Lots of original content. Pretend journalist. 🚲👶🌳

Google Maps is once again directing traffic From Bronson, Somerset, and Gladstone, heading to the Eastbound 417 down Percy Street to avoid traffic on Bronson. If this were any other Local Road in the city, there would be traffic calming and modal filters to prevent this from happening.

One of this church's parishioners was driving the wrong way down Percy Street almost every single day, often driving on the cycle-track and sidewalk. I personally saw him do this dozens of times. I followed him there one day and gave him a stern taking to. Haven't seen him do it since.

"Why do very wealthy multi-national business owners in Kanata support Lansdowne 2.0"

Uhh... because they're very wealthy.

Huge police presence in the Glebe this morning, outside the Cameroon Embassy and staged elsewhere around the neighbourhood. The police had a drone flying around as well and there were traffic barriers ready to close off the street.

We don't need more roads, we need fewer cars on the roads.

Give people better alternatives to driving. And that doesn't mean flying cars or time machines - invest in better transit and cycling infrastructure.

If you want to experience time travel, ride a bike through rush hour traffic.
