I will appreciate it if you can check on Nov 1st to see if your prediction was right.

Those are the electric vehicles we need to subsidize.

The core is also very walkable and bikeable; with a few exceptions, most arteries are still not large 3 lanes roads.

Transit is solid, too. Also: use it because traffic is the worst (which is fine).

What a disgrace. Detained for sitting. And the ridiculous answer by the cop… “disturbing the peace by not leaving the train”, which misses the point of establishing what he was doing wrong ON the train. Racist passenger, racist cops.

I like that “mad” can have 2 meanings, and both are applicable here.

In Canada, criminal (penal) law is Federal. Meaning you don’t have to evaluate if doing something is a crime depending on where you are. If it’s a crime at home, it’s a crime everywhere.

My city recently backed out of a “pool tax” for pool owners. Our water system is already behind schedule on maintenance. The means single family owners get a luxury spend funded by everyone (often less wealthy).

My hospital has the same “amenity”. My big issue is always finding a spot where I’m sure I won’t cause issue for people with mobility devices.

Cycling advocacy is also (mostly?) ground-level work. A the sub-city scale, being seen a talking to other citizens goes a long way.

The fun part is not a negligible part of the bike commute equation!

Good Q, I hope not. It’s possible there was another issue with the tree (disease/stability).

Even then, if the tree absolutely must go (somehow), I take a safe curb. Mtl has been good about greening the city, and I’ll take a few less trees now (with more planted) in exchange for much safer city.

I think Wells Street should get rid of all parking and the parking becomes extremely wide bike lanes on both sides. Then the current bike lane can be a delivery robot lane, and then the remainder of the space you can walk on with a couple of golf cart shuttles operated by the CTA
