@Mcmillco @chcayyc For the record, the motion to oppose the guidebook was won by a single vote. For any Crescent Heights residents who feel they were not represented today- please speak out & step up! We welcome & need your voice on the
@chcayyc board of directors. Please send me an email or DM.

I would like to take a break from tweets about bikes and cheese to ponder a question about basketball hoops. Specifically, why are there so many on-street hoops in Portland?

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Under @Anne_Hidalgo’s plans, Paris will remove 72% of its on-street car parking spaces. According to a 2019 study, there are 83.5K on-street parking spaces in Paris—Hidalgo plans to remove 60K of them. Via ⁦@carltonreid⁩.

Wow. 7/10 Albertans are against the removal of 164 parks yet #ableg are still going ahead? No consultation? Who is benefiting from this decision?

[Ricky Leong @RickyLeongYYC]

One thing worth mentioning as I'm listening to #yyccc: The continued commitment demonstrated by Coun. @DruhFarrell to the use of plain English at #Calgary city hall. #yyc
