@sandyjamesplan And “no smoking” signs seem to have vanished along the @ParkBoard seawall, such as in Harbour Green Park.

@VPDTrafficUnit @VancouverPD There’s typically an illegal u-turn (across double yellow lines) every few minutes in the 900 block W Cordova every weekday late afternoon.

We’re always asking ourselves how we can deliver an even better transit system. That’s why we want to hear from you! https://t.co/sKRD0msCAE

San Francisco Bay area: remarkable returns from @SFBART 's new unjumpable fare gates.

I would like to live in a high trust society where these aren't necessary. But sometimes we need infrastructure for the society we have.

Using the credit card on my watch as a @PRESTOcard to ride transit in Toronto was a pleasure. Best value fares and easy tracking of journeys through the PRESTO app. Will be even better when @TTChelps and @MayorOliviaChow introduce monthly fare capping. Daily cap also needed!

I just came back from a trip to Japan.

The Japanese could figure out how to provide their citizens high speed rail.

There’s no reason why we can’t.

Don’t let Pierre Poilievre deny Canadians high speed rail.

If we need help and advice from the Japanese, let’s get it.

Dreadful. A $1000 fine for killing a woman with a modified, lifted pickup truck that really has no place on public roads. Is #ICBC asleep at the regulatory wheel? ⁦@NinaKriegerBC⁩ https://t.co/g7PqWxgXZp

[FastTrackTO @FastTrackTO]

FastTrackTO is launching and releasing our 10 point plan to fix the Toronto Streetcar network. A symbol of the city that could be great with achievable, common sense and low cost changes. The plan if implemented would transform the city.

@PeterMeiszner Thanks! I checked the presentation and it was “very poor” on the condition map and also a photo example on the utility work slide, so definitely on the radar.

@yvrairport “We’re short on staff so we’ll put all passengers through the most labour-intensive screening process.” 😳

@MVTP_TMET No demerit points? That’s too bad as they’d better deter recalcitrant drivers.

30” seat pitch on this @TransLink Mark II SkyTrain. Room for my carry on bag at my feet too. Take that #WestJet

Modular housing is not new to BC. The British Columbia Mills Timber and Trading Company between 1904 & 1910 offered affordable, ready-to-assemble residential and commercial structures shipped across Western Canada.The kits contained pre-painted,numbered panels and instructions,enabling quickly assembly with minimal carpentry skills.Some of the original homes still exist in Vancouver. Steveston’s Museum is a BCMTTC modular structure. @gregorrobertson #modularhousing #kithouses

@garymasonglobe Because the Big Three have normalised gas-gulping SUVs and pickups as vehicles for everyone?

@pedromiguel13 @VPDTrafficUnit @CityofVancouver @RoadSafetyHarv @icbc @RoadSafety_Paul @skinnyonsafety @VancouverPD @BeyondThePost Montreal bans right on red on the whole island, and green lights in busy areas start with a “through only” green arrow. It sure improves the pedestrian experience.

[Ian Fisher 🇨🇦🚃🚎🚇🚠🚄🏳️‍🌈 @electricyvr]

@pedromiguel13 @VPDTrafficUnit @CityofVancouver @RoadSafetyHarv @icbc @RoadSafety_Paul @skinnyonsafety @VancouverPD @BeyondThePost It’s getting to that point isn’t it? A privilege too often abused by those who don’t stop at the stop line and who often don’t even bother to look right for pedestrians.
