@alanthefisher Is this a 'daily ridership' figure, rather than a 'total rides' figure?
$1B for 400k rides means $2,500 per ride, and that can't be right.
Gotta be $1B for 400k daily rides, meaning $6.85 per ride.

@ohryan And describing how even the biggest highway in Canada, the 401, doesn't work well and has constant delays--so we should emulate that! The conclusion didn't pay any attention to the body of the video essay.

@michelle_on_rye I'm very confused about the opposition. Even more, what is the better idea than this new 28 route?

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

@danremps I don't know %, but transportation cost is significant. Many stats show it's the #2 expense after housing. To lower transport cost, we need to improve our land use, by allowing more diverse and dense usages, and reallocating car-transport land to bikes and busses.

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

@mmarginet This is an amazing insight once you see it. Every driver should support everyone else *not* driving. It's the cheapest way to reduce traffic. Way cheaper than building more roads.

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

@paulloewen @BikeweekWPG They also asked questions about intersections with two-stage crossing boxes that (to my knowledge) do not exist in Winnipeg. Hard to say how they make me feel when they're hypothetical.

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

@ianmcc @mmarginet And also *near* a major bus route. We need to allow denser housing a block or two away from the major roads, which are often loud and unpleasant to live beside

@chriscrond @beerelectrician This morning that structure was gone? Risk to people increased? I dunno but it sure looks nicer

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

@chriscrond @beerelectrician Okay, this is why I had years-long memories about the structure. It's been there for years--it just got much worse of late. Still crazy that stuff falling off the train is A) a regular occurrence, and B) not something addressed in the bridge design

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

@chriscrond @beerelectrician Wait--that's is why the scaffolding is there? It's been there for *years*. So long my brain's been trained not to notice. I'll look again.

@am_tod 2 guesses:
1. more snow removal on right side (leading to more solar melting)
2. more melting agents (salt) applied on right side

@pattyboge 😲😲😲

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

Interesting evidence of some fine driving in the snow. 😞

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

I DM'd the city to let them know. They've been responsive in the past, but I bet there's a lot of car collision damage this morning.

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

@infidelatheist This looks like a pad for a bus shelter that hasn't been built (yet). The tube would be used for power cables to heat the shelter during winter.

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

@ohryan To deploy this update to all our countdown lights (we have a lot) I wonder what would be required. A visit? Remote code update? Do you have any knowledge of how these work 'under the hood'?

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

@ohryan You suggest we start the countdown timer as soon as walk appears? That does sound like a small change, and even more info for people crossing.

All-reds often happens (esp downtown), but I'd say it's more like 2 or 3 seconds, not 5.

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

@ianmcc @brent_bellamy I believe the 32 km/h is coming via the US, their limit limit being 20 MPH. In the EU, the power-assist limit is 25 km/h.

[Jonathan Stewart @fudoreaper]

@My1xT @danieldibswe @LTE_Max Yes, they are reserved. They will not be assigned to an ISP, nor routed via the internet.
