@frankiemacd You're a Canadian treasure Frankie. Saying hi and we appreciate you from Victoria BC

[Hugh Patterson @Develop_D]

Nailed it

@JasJohalBC @Dave_Eby we desperately need more automated enforcement

[Hugh Patterson @Develop_D]

@DannyOleksiuk Trucks like the Denali HD and Ram PowerWagon are the vehicle equivalent of an unsolicited dick pick

[Hugh Patterson @Develop_D]

@mattdellok Great use of underutilized space

[Hugh Patterson @Develop_D]

@nvanrcmp @BowinnMa do you support automated enforcement so we can prevent more drivers from recklessly endangering other road users?

@JohnsonStBRDG Gotta love a Trade's truck that says 'We charge too much for countertops' without sayings "We charge too much for countertops"

[Hugh Patterson @Develop_D]

@JohnsonStBRDG And it is madding that anyone can buy a +$100K Sierra Denali, park it almost anywhere they want overnight for free and be 99.9% confident that it will be there in the morning

@FBorgal For me the consistency of speed is the huge win. My commute is 21 - 23 minutes, rain, shine, tired, energetic, Monday morning, Friday afternoon.

@JG_moves_NZ @alexbozikovic Apparently there is space for it. I'm not suggesting to preventing building housing, rather, ensure that there is daycare space (or at least potential for) for the new residents. Paying market rates for ft^2 is cost prohibitive for daycares & families otherwise.

Barrels of oil displaced by EVs.

Way over on the right hand side are ebikes, displacing more barrels of oil than all other EVs combined.

All of that happening inside a transport system designed to make riding bikes a terrible experience. https://t.co/rQDWYJPY8g

Don't like it? Send your email before Monday at noon [email protected] as Sidney council is considering approving the plan that night

@timescolonist People using this route on bikes are saving everyone because they're not driving, causing more costly wear and tear on the roads, ipso facto, it should be paid for through property taxes same as local roads are.

@DaveThompsonVIC This is great! I bike or drive over or on Fort every day to get our son to or from Castleview daycare - people drive way too fast on Fort and there are often near-misses. Loss of slip lane will make getting home by car a block or two longer but worth it.

[Hugh Patterson @Develop_D]

@mattdellok Yes please! Can we do more Speed Pillows though? They make for a smoother ride for us on 2 wheels

[Hugh Patterson @Develop_D]

@renomate @cityofcolwood @BikeMapsTeam @ianincolwood @JordisonKim @DouginColwood @events_by_misty @deanforcolwood Yes, Speed Pillows! My favorite cousin of Speed Bumps

@OsterCanada please make a toaster with a DEFAULT setting? My marriage depends on it! Every few weeks my wife sends me a picture of her burnt toast after I forget to reset the toaster to "medium" (how she likes her toast) from "high" (level required to re-heat a froze bagel)

[Hugh Patterson @Develop_D]

@Lanefab Ridiculous little for the ROI. My brother who worked for Whistler Muni and WORCA said often the cost of trails & maintenance vs. a pool, rec centre or other facility is pennies on the dollar.
