Why is Edmonton investing $100M to improve cycling in the next four years?
"We have an aspiration where people are invited to cycle in all seasons and for all reasons. The goal is not to tell them how to get around, but to make sure the option is there."

One thing we know for SURE — building & widening highways ALWAYS succeeds in helping sell more cars, gas & suburban sprawl; burning more public budgets; & increasing GHG emissions. So if THOSE are your goals, it’s the perfect thing to do.
Just don’t expect it to reduce traffic.
Amsterdam’s plan to remove 11,200 parking spaces from its streets by the end of 2025 is even more inspiring when we realize the kind of people-places that are possible where cars used to be. Example — #Amsterdam’s Elandsgracht between 2014 & 2019, via @schlijper’s great pics.
CYCLING enthusiasts and families are being encouraged by Carlow Arts Festival and Carlow Sports Partnership to get on their bikes in an exciting arts participation project on Sunday 24 September that explores language, history, landscape and cycling.

Looks like a great idea. Wipes are such a great way to go but I hate using regular wipes as they’re not biodegradable and not really ideal anyway.

I love the fact that the solution sitting in the middle of many pressing government priorities is .... active travel!
Not sexy, lots of un-met demand & much cheaper than many other health & transport interventions, but this is what 'fuels' our efforts in the halls of power!
New Mexico gets a new arty rail trail!
“a contemporary and artistic pathway that encapsulates the essence of the region’s culture and history, [it will] redefine downtown neighborhoods and enhance the urban experience.” https://t.co/Pg8VMQ4Zhc
