“Scooters, sidewalk chalk and laughter have replaced idling cars outside a central #Hamilton elementary school. It’s called a ‘school street,’ and it’s the city’s first.”

“I like how everyone can just play.”

Fewer cars, more movement. #SchoolStreets https://t.co/EjNF3KQYpl

#Barrie safe cycling infrastructure please @cityofbarrie @annmariekungl

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

You don’t have to be a “cyclist” to support safe bike infrastructure in your city. You don’t have to ride bikes at all. You just have to understand the FACT that bike infrastructure makes getting around safer for EVERYONE, saves everyone money, and makes cities more successful.

“A new cost-benefit study in New Zealand finds that investments in cycling & walking facilities outweigh the costs of building them by 10 to 1. The research found that the most important economic benefits were health gains from use of active transport.” https://t.co/JEGofONsyj

Lake Simcoe's phosphorous pollution is on the rise!
#Barrie Council needs to add its voice to municipalities calling for phosphorous reductions.

BREAKING: Today Amsterdam introduced 30 kmh (20 mph) maximum speed limits on most streets, citing increased road safety, reduced pollution, lower noise levels, and fewer injuries/casualties. 20-30% fewer accidents, predicts the Vice Mayor. Via @copenhenken #Amsterdam #Dutch

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

That protected lane ABSOLUTELY fights #ClimateChange. So does public transport & walking.

And air pollution. And inequality. And preventable diseases. And public health cost increases. And tax increases. And supports economic devt & allows more trips in a lot less space. #COP28

Walking 🚶 or wheeling 👨‍🦽🛴🚴 to/from school together is a great opportunity to be active, connect with your child during your busy week, and it supports positive mental health. Keep #OntheMove together! https://t.co/zACOjhZSfS #PhysicalActivity

Phosphorus #pollution is choking the life out of #LakeSimcoe. We are going in the wrong direction. The province has still not developed a plan and a budget to achieve the 44 tonnes per year goal.

Switching to clean energy sources will save people money. The new @IEA #NetZeroRoadmap shows total household energy spending is expected to drop by at least 12% by 2030, thanks to savings from energy efficiency and electrification.
