GOODS AND SERVICES movement is necessary in the dense core (40% of traffic); massive, expensive, disruptive underground transit projects are not sustainable; let’s get REAL; electric buses on dense, inner-city roadways are an efficient mode without fixed rail mismanagement cost.

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

Cars profoundly disfigure cities. They result in all kinds of distortions when it comes to the use of land and distances between uses, creating a non-virtuous circle. Because of cars we design for cars and then…we need more cars. There is only one fix: and it’s a dense, walkable transit-oriented transformation of our cities and regions.

#PEDESTRIANIZATION for a strong #Toronto

[Strong Towns @StrongTowns]

Our cities aren’t “crowded” or “full,” they’ve just dedicated half their space to car storage.

REMOVE THE ON-STREET PARKING: Most of the subsidized parking supports employees of proprietors; more cyclists stop at shops than motorists | Support bicycle and pedestrian safety infrastructure #TOpoli @CycleToronto @Walk_TO

[Ivan Gorbadei @IGorbadei]

@BicycleMayorTO Only a bad parent can allow child to use unsafe bike lane. And 90% of bike lanes in the city are very unsafe. So for children, removing those ugly lanes doesn't make any harm.
