I'm almost never on this account anymore, and am mostly doing urban stuff on my 🦣 which is linked to may anon bio. If you know that, follow over there; if you don't, DM me for a link.

We have a pretty good track record of shutting down mistakes on our Waterfront (think Sidewalk). ‘Aesthetically, this is a monster. It privatizes public land. And it consumes half a billion dollars in public money.’ We have a duty to shut it down, Toronto. https://t.co/vF6TV2ok0M

Bike lanes are DRIVER infrastructure. Without cars there's no need for bike lanes - the whole reason for bike lanes is to protect people from drivers. The cost of bike lanes is part of the cost of driving.

This type of dense, swimmable mixed use urbanism is illegal to build in much of the United States.

@BrooklinWR Definitely one of those things different in Europe: every cashier I saw there had a seat. We really need to update things over here.

On December 6th, 1989, a man entered a mechanical engineering classroom at Montreals Ecole Polytechnique and killed 14 women because of their gender.

Today, we remember them.

Canada has yet another 100% low floor LRV rolling out this time for Calgary's Green Line. It will be CAF's first project in Canada and the trams look slick! Toronto take note!

Meet the host of our upcoming Climate & Energy series, Dr. M Jackson. She's a glaciologist, writer, and National Geographic Explorer -- and a cold weather enthusiast! Anyone else? 🙋‍♂️ Raise your hand if you love cold weather!

If you watch a lot of transit YouTube, realizing who plays Harry Beck is quite the moment

Episode 15 of #UnfinishedLondon is all about whether the Tube Map has got worse and worse over the last few decades. Share and enjoy! https://t.co/XUlaFH2zfu

Somewhere an owner of a Ram 3500 is yelling that his (it’s always a his) time is more valuable than your life, but this should be standard design in all cities, everywhere.

[Hayden @the_transit_guy]

It’s actually insane that fully self driving cars will be everywhere without our consent but a bus or bike lane goes needs years of community and environmental outreach. It’s honestly cruel.

criticizing Israel for its human rights abuses isn’t inherently anti-semitic and criticizing Qatar for its human rights abuses isn’t inherently islamophobic

this isn’t complicated

Also has input from @thedaleykate! Great read.

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

Just here to report that Helsinki has open, public, fully winterized, efficient, accessible and clean washrooms in every park. And maybe I hid in one for a few minutes trying to warm up from the windchill of -12°C.

We all figured as much, good to know for sure.

Developers owning Greenbelt land now set to be developed appear to have given significant sums to Ford’s Progressive Conservative party, donation records show.
