What use is a public policy degree if you don’t use the skill set to make an infographic on one of the most pervasive forms of structural racism?

@alexbozikovic I think it might be Stackt Market?

Conducting a jurisdictional scan is a crash course in navigating poor web design.

I worked the general election last fall and can confidently say that it felt different this time.

Voters came into our polling station with a purpose - sporting either a smile or scowl.

Regardless of their political affiliation, the stakes felt higher. I’m proud of our city.

@kailahunte It’s almost as if they don’t want people to contribute to local businesses or take public/active transport around community hubs 🫠

[Lamia Aganagic @aganagic]

@kailahunte and that and the Ossington strip between Dundas and Queen.

Her teenage son was killed by a stranger at a subway station and she’s speaking out in hopes that something will change to end the violence.

Over lunch, I tuned into @thewalrus’ forum on trust in Canadian democracy. I found it interesting that the public’s misunderstanding of federalism and its division of powers wasn’t really addressed. Can the populace trust the system if they don’t understand how it functions?

I miss Berlin.

Following the overwhelming success of the nine euro ticket experiment last summer, Germany will introduce a permanent €49 pass this spring.

The monthly subscription will allow unlimited travel on buses, trams, subways, and local trains across every region in the entire country.

If we’re looking to encourage folks to take active transport to run an errand, I’m not saying that improving Google Maps’ capacity to find a suitable walking route will fix that but the interaction between this software and urban design could be critical in facilitating it. (3/3)

[Lamia Aganagic @aganagic]

As a pedestrian in Toronto (and in most cities I visit), I often rely on Google Maps to get where I’m going. However, I’m finding more often than not that the proposed route will mirror what would be recommended for a driver. This route is often not pedestrian friendly. (1/3)

[Lamia Aganagic @aganagic]

While it may be the most efficient route, it usually isn’t an enjoyable one. You’re forced to walk alongside speeding cars and these routes lack the infrastructure to make it safe (i.e. signage, crosswalks, lighting etc.). (2/3)
