A storm sewer flowing from an old landfill thru what’s been an urban development for the past 5 centuries. Some say I'm beautiful/a coward. Same guy, actually.

Alright let’s take a moment to talk about reasonable vs unreasonable opinions. Not wanting bikes on GC trails, I think, is a completely reasonable opinion to have and folks who believe that should absolutely make that clear in consultation

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

Their poor knees!! Asphalt surfaces are NOT suitable for running😡

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

Ah yes what an inviting pedestrian trail

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

This guy… is threatening people with… a job? In.. journalism? In… Newfoundland? Yeah, okay, we’ll take your job

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

Do paved walking trails somehow benefit fewer people than gravel walking trails?

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

Change is inevitable. If you don’t plan for how you want change to happen, you risk losing what you love to forces out of your control. The trees will die eventually, what will you be left with when they do?

The lack of living water fowl in this video is telling

@gbrentkeeping @mjphilpott Oh yeah, the award-winningness doesn’t matter one way or the other. I care about the trails because they can be better!!

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

@mjphilpott @gbrentkeeping No sections of Virginia River Trail or Rennies River Trail are award winning. These trails go unmentioned in the one award that the GC won as a whole network. https://t.co/VVYEppljkl

@ProfAvenarius Great! Have a blessed day! 😘

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

Imagine trying to halt cycling infrastructure for the whole city because of a plan to investigate paving a path next to a river when that river is literally the outfall for a trunk storm sewer under a highway

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

@ProfAvenarius No? I’m saying there was no decision to “destroy green space.” Most of the backlash is against RR and VR trails, projects for which there is no funding or design, only plan to investigate them in the future

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

@ProfAvenarius Ummm... most is the majority. There’s is still plenty of time for driver’s to get mad when other projects get queued up!! Also no decision has been made to destroy green space

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

It seems like you aren’t actually against tree removal to facilitate the human use of urban space??

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

@ProfAvenarius Most of the projects in the bike plan are on-street cycling facilities. Scrapping the plan removes those projects too.

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

@sidewalkcontact Oh sorry, I was referring to the scrap-the-bike-plan crowd. I don’t know of any actual delays

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

Me, out here suggesting this is the subtext of their group rather than the explicit purpose

[Kelly's Brook @KellysBrook]

The number of pedestrians forced onto Empire Ave and Rennies Mill Rd in winter because of hazardous trail conditions tells you how much PPT cared about pedestrian infrastructure before the bike plan came out
