@SeanHur41022196 The first time I saw video of one of his rockets blasting off and scaring some cows I thought, “a little boy playing with his big toys...”

@Pokearooo @RyanMcGreal Better than blocking a public bike lane though, no?

@jddneary Oh that Nephropathy!

@craig_burley @LauraBabcock @KRBAVAC @TheWestdale Ahem, Caucasian.

@sean_j_roberts @jddneary Still, we need to get you out to see some wildflowers.

@mekki @MainatMacNab @nofrillsCA As a father, I also find this impossible!

@SamCraggsCBC Last time we had Bratina and Pasuta to contend with. We even had a newly published lit review stating public health risk was same as dogs and cats.

@SamCraggsCBC @RyanMcGreal I’ve been missing @RyanMcGreal !

The order of Canada recipient and trucking firm owner Sir Ron Foxcroft weighs in on trucking in Hamilton and agrees that transport trucks need to be off of our downtown streets. Well said Sir Ron. Great industry leadership!! #HamOnt

@mattgallowaycbc totally got me with the #raccoonfoodtruck story this morning. #aprilfools

[Maureen Wilson (She / Her) @ward1wilson]

Onward! Let’s get it done and do what we said we would do.

[John Neary @jddneary]

The comments being made on social media by people who oppose reconsideration of our urban truck routes in @TruckRebootHam are truly ghastly. It seems that even the death of a human being means nothing to them.

@Peesker @ibrisbin Understood. I will mention it to a couple of people.

[Russ Ohrt @backyardharvham]

@Peesker @ibrisbin To clarify, you’re looking for an expository writer who themselves know about growing organic produce? Correct?

By splitting the truck traffic into three parts in this graphic, I get the feeling the staff member hoped to downplay this element.

[Samantha Craggs @SamCraggsCBC]

Interesting diagram from the staff presentation. 6.57% of traffic on this section of Main Street West between Ray & Queen is heavy &/or large trucks. All told, nearly 20% is truck traffic

[Samantha Craggs @SamCraggsCBC]

.@ward1wilson is in tears remembering Herman Ohrt, the cyclist who was killed by a cement truck. We need a city built for people, not trucks, she says. Until the terms of reference reflect that, she can't support them https://t.co/O6YHLxRpCD

[Samantha Craggs @SamCraggsCBC]

Hamilton has had many, many tragic high-profile incidents of pedestrians being killed by trucks. Wilson just brought up this one: a 77-year-old cyclist & Ward 1 resident killed by a cement truck https://t.co/NXw9CowxBC
