Switching off the noise Upgrading the home network. I've chosen to go w/ the TP-Link 670 Access Points and a TP-Link 8-port multi-git PoE Switch (TL-SG3210XHP-M2). This gives 2.5G ports for each access point with power-over-Ethernet. Powering https://t.co/OBj7uTg6cT

@citywaterloo @WRPSToday I will. On reflection, its not clear its a city issue or police tho?
- going wrong direction on 1 way
- parked in no parking, < 1m from intersection
- i think bridgeport is a regional road from albert to lancaster (which is where this was)

@citywaterloo @WRPSToday
king st n & bridgeport, today, 6pm
- wrong way
- parked, block 100% of 2 lanes
- aggressive when i realised, hauled my bike up onto sidewalk and complained to him.

very common. Maybe post prevent vehicles from entering? Maybe bylaw/wrps can enforce?
