If you’re considering @telus as your internet provider let me help you. Don’t do it - it’s garbage. Check their “tweets and replies” to see their string of apologies for their trash service and speed. Then again, if you like buffering, sign up.

It's not about whether you personally want to or need to drive. It’s about understanding the simple truth that in cities, if everyone tries to move by car, no one moves much at all. So the more of us that are enticed to walk, bike & take transit, the better it is for EVERYONE.

@TheEconomist What is the point of paying to promote your article and then requiring registration to view it? What’s waste of your money.

@WorldBollard would recommend 100%

@DaveThompsonVIC For clarity - this means you support and will work for the expansion of more AAA bike infrastructure in #yyj?

[Darryl Galick @darrylgalick]

Still my favourite product right now @londondrugs.

@pgcmorgan @TMMGuerrero @VicPlacemaking Spot on!

[Darryl Galick @darrylgalick]

Just discovered this gang of rabble rousers taking back the streets each Sunday at 5:30 at Richardson & Lotbiniere in #Fairfield. Happy Hour and #community. @TMMGuerrero @VicPlacemaking

@pgcmorgan @TMMGuerrero @VicPlacemaking Their weapon of choice was appetizers

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970's via @fietsprofessor. The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today. Better choices instead of excuses.

@LorneDaniel @SomerChatter Walked it this afternoon. Adjustments will be needed. The response time for the light change for both bike and pedestrian was VERY slow. I got through faster when it was strictly a crosswalk. A good start tho.

Speed kills. Watch 👀 this and it will make you a safer driver on the road.

What an incredible ad from New Zealand 👇👇

This is the first time I've seen this and I love it.

🇨🇦Chris Bruntlett (right) explains better than a Dutchman why we don't wear helmets on 🚲 in 🇳🇱 but still have the safest streets in the 🌎.

True safety is found by engineering & infrastructure, not by covering the heads of the most vulnerable.

This is the most Canadian goal celebration 😂❤️🇨🇦❄️ #CANMNT

@DanPriceSeattle Dan to you realize how much money is kept in the US “safe” from taxes?

What’s your favourite eye-opening depiction of how we let cars dominate our streets?

Here’s mine:

🚗🚗🏠More parking spaces for cars than housing units for people.
💳Car loans available to all, insurance required.
🚗🚗⚖️🧒🏾Lifetime car ownership is more expensive than raising a child.
🌎🌍🌏#WorldCarFreeDay is a moment to ask if we care more for cars than for people.

[Darryl Galick @darrylgalick]

I live on Richardson and I can’t wait for this and the rest of the upgrades. A step forward for a more walkable, bikable city.

[City of Victoria @CityOfVictoria]

Traffic diverters maintain local access & provide safer, more comfortable streets for people walking, rolling & strolling across our city. New measures are now at Foul Bay Rd at Richardson St.
